Default Johnnydrama's 341WHP/271WTQ Configuration

I set out to hit 400hp at the crank, and yesterday the goal was realized thanks to the Dynosty team in Louisville, KY. Now I, and more importantly my wallet, can breath a sigh of relief. I bought this car bone stock on 1/31/18 and I have been modifying/improving everything on it ever since, yesterday was the finishing touch/exclamation point.

Power adders to obtain these numbers are as follows:

Fast Intentions Non-Resonated Carbon Fiber Exhaust
Motordyne Long Tube Headers w/ Helmholtz Resonators
Z1 Long Tube Intakes
Z1 Intake Plenum
Z1 Lightweight Flywheel/Clutch
Stillen Lightweight Pulley

Other additional Mods can be found in my signature.

The ECUTEK tune was definitely the perfect finisher as well. The car is so much smoother/responsive and feels almost stockish except with 50 more hp and sounds like a mini Lambo.

The biggest thanks goes to Z1 (for all of the wonderful products/customer service), Eurasia Import Specialist (for all of the installations), and Dynosty (for the ECUTEK Dyno Tune).

I am a happy camper. Enjoy the video!

Saw the video this AM as I follow Dynosty. Great numbers and I agree with the Dynosty tune. Had mine done a year ago on the way down to ZdayZ and it is still the best thing I've done to the Z...

Yes. I think in the video he goes from 3rd to 5th. He did the majority of the tuning in 4th, but then for power he did 5th. It was making 330-335 in 4th if I recall.

Wow so you made the 342 in 4th and it went down in 5th? That’s odd since our cars have the same gear ratios. I know Hal at Dynosty mentioned that he had seen cars make the same in 4th & 5th but never a scenario where 4th more than 5th.

No I made 342 in 5th. I meant 3rd, 5, 4th pull

What are your final thoughts on the AEM Intakes vs the Z1’s now that you’re tuned?

It's really hard to say. I would love to install the AEMs and go back to Dynosty for a Dyno comparison and really liked the look of the AEMs under the hood much better.

It's hard to deny the evidence that the Long Tube Intakes produce more power, probably even more so with a tune. But for what they are and the price for the AEMs is hard to beat.
