Another Motordyne M370 Dyno Test
 

First off. Thanks to the guys at Z1 for doing this install!

About my car:
09 Pearl White. Touring. Sports. Nav. Manual
8800 Miles.

Mods:
Stillen Gen III intakes powdercoated by Mike
Strut Tower Brace powdercoated by Mike
Megan Racing CBE
Z1 Oil Cooler
Z1 SS brake Lines
Z1 SS Clutch Line
No Tune.
Stock Cats.


Results:

I gained peak HP and gained peak TQ (about 5hp and 10Tq average between runs peak only). The powerband definitely did show a good improvement. In some places there was about a 19TQ gain with about a 15hp gain. The Delta Graph that Tony will post should show this. (I am e-mailing him the files as I type this)

I Unfortunately bungled up and didnt e-mail myself the combined JPEGS of the dyno. So I only have the 3 base and 3 after. But i swear when you see them combined you can easily see a big diff.

Also it sounds a bit different. hard to explain really but its more of a rumble on the intake. More aggressive. Driving home and trying some third gear dashs it felt alot more alive (not superchaged alive) but theres a difference.

P.S Mike you should have come out! bad weather aside it was a fun time!

Now what everyone cares about...

The Car on the Dyno. Base runs have been already run.

Wish I could have made it! But, I did have a good week of powdercoating. Did 13 sets of brakes, a valve cover and your pulleys in 3 days!

dayum man. you need a break (SEMA?) or is that work too lol

that is definitely a break!!!!


Great numbers, btw!

Congrats on the gains, these things really shine when comparing torque numbers.

hmm not bad not bad

Torque gains look really good!

Gah, another Z with great results from this manifold. I am so conflicted; some people have great gains everywhere with the manifold, others don't and it makes it hard to justify buying it with such varying results.

Thanks for taking the time to post your results, much appreciated!

You should go back in another week or two to get some numbers after the ECU has fully adjusted. :)

His numbers would contradict. Different day, different temperature, different result. The ECU should automatically relearn by the 3rd pull on the dyno, right before heatsoak sets in.

Here is an overlay of the dyno results. I'll work on the analysis and get it posted asap.

Thanks Tony! Was going to copy that over but iphone wont do that (omw to work atm)

Good job on the gains. Too bad it doesn't have "bling" to it, like the Kinetix intake manifold.

nice numbers... this is without tune right? wonder what would happen after uprev... :stirthepot:

yeah no tune on my car.

not gonna get a tune till after i do something about my headers/cats.
