The dyno chart from last night was on 91 octane (pump).

Thanks, Tony

That's farther than I'd dare push a stock block. CG's on the results

Just out of curiosity, where does the 550 number for a stock block come from? Is it top end failure, bottom end, detonation, etc...?

Was this one guys experience and now we all use 550?

Still working on paying my Nismo off but you definitely have my attention. The 370Z has always seemed to be $100/hp car to mod and the kits always looked so ugly to me that I figured why pay so much to destroy the aesthetics of the car for and for so few HP. This setup is very clean and it appears to change the nature of the power band in a very positive way at low boost. The curve is just so flat, it's what the car is missing. Well done!

Believe it's rod failure, not sure of the tq limit though.

I don't get the fuel problem.... Why has no one else had this problem ? And what fuel pressure gauge do you have ?

I will elaborate later once I have a chance to sit down and explain it in detail. I can promise you that anyone at this power level with a stock style return less fuel system is having this problem. If I was a betting man, I would bet most people are not watching their fuel pressure. 99% of the time all that is watched is the air/fuel.

Thanks, Tony

Yep. Something not a lot of people realize or think of.

From the research I have done it seems like almost EVERYONE is running into problems like this at this power level, they just may not be aware of it. To the best of my knowledge, up until this point no one makes a return-less fuel system that can handle this power level, we are going to try a few things and hope to make the impossible, possible! Also, while talking with Sebastian today he explained that even if you have a air/fuel gauge, by the time that starts to read lean, it is already too late. I will definitely be running a fuel pressure gauge in the center cubby as it is a small price to pay for the added protection.

It is a liquid filled XRP gauge, attached directly to the fuel rail.

I have no problem with fuel at 540hp. Not sure why u would think every boosted ride has this problem yet doesn't know it??? And about the gauges, well that kind of defeats the purpose of even having them in the first place. If calibrated correctly they should work just fine. I datalog thru uprev and lookin at the gauge it's fine. 6k miles n runnin strong
