I get out of work at 7. You guys doing something tonight?

DIGItonium · 09-03-2011, 09:12 PM

Hey ron, looks like everyone is busy tonight. Paul is arranging something for tomorrow after lunch hours.

I didn't spend much time driving, but I did redline in 1st and 2nd. I'm driving like a noob with the new clutch and notchier than usual gearbox.

First impressions: It feels like stock, but comes alive when giving it more gas. Fast intentions tdx and hfc makes for an amazing sound. It is not raspy... smooth and deep. Loudness is not as bad when I was stock. Bovs are subtle... want moar!

Ron · 09-03-2011, 09:21 PM

Alright, well if its ok with you guys I'd like to join you and check the car out. Let me know!

Edit: You lucky SOB, I can't wait till I go FI!!

DIGItonium · 09-03-2011, 09:34 PM

No problem... waiting for confirmation of the plan

I'll see if I can take it out...

How far are you guys from cypress?

Ron · 09-03-2011, 09:36 PM

I'm like 20min away. I think the other guys are closer.

theDreamer · 09-03-2011, 10:40 PM

I live in Cypress, a few minutes from Baker.

DIGItonium · 09-03-2011, 10:43 PM

This is tough... I don't think I will be out tonight. The car does not like the driveway entrance. Bottom of lip scraped quite a bit. Not sure about taking car out tomorrow either because there will be 3 of us going.

[EDIT] In KS, I don't think we have driveways with the step style entrance, but more of a smooth bump. Just not used to driveways here lol.

What's up Digitonium, i saw your TT 370z friday afternoon. I was up at baker Jackson north to put my deposit down on my 2012 base+sport. Your z is tight, much props! Now the hard part for me is waiting until my girl arrives, as soon as she does, i'll be having my Z1 oil cooler installed and Tanabe exhaust with the Y-pipe by Baker tuning.

Congrats! Were you able to hear the exhaust in person? The Z is definitely a fun mod platform.

I want to drive it some more, but the lip likes to scrape off my gf's parent's driveway. Wish I can show you guys, but I'm with my gf and looking after her lil bro. So... ride of the day is a corolla haha. Other than that, thanks everyone for taking the time to drop by and check out my car and LED mods

Hope to see you guys today as I will be leaving early morning.

DIGItonium · 09-04-2011, 05:15 PM

Sorry guys, the plans aren't working out. Paul is still sick. I am going to eat out with my gf's family before packing up for tomorrow morning.

Yes that's my second time hearing the Tanabe exhaust. I've heard the Tanabe exhaust with the Tanabe y-pipe online and it sounds peerfect for me. Also, i did hear a 370z roadster at Baker that had Tanabe exhaust, Stillen HFC's, and a GTM supercharger with an intercooler, when Josh punched it, man that sound was wild with that intercooler.

Updated Post #2 with dyno chart and additional photos.

This chart was compared to a N/A 370Z with bolt ons (intake, exhaust, etc.) and Cobb tune. It was around 290 whp and 230's ft-lb on this dyno.

The predicted power from butt dyno was anticipated to be in the 370-400 whp range, and this test confirms this guesstimate.
