So you said the bumped the time down to 18 hours, so how much are they charging you now? How much did they charge for the tune and dyno time?

It's a little baffling to me that you would take on a header install yourself but then pay someone to put on simple suspension parts. :P

Most shops doing performance work should have a set fee for tuning, a set fee for suspension install, so the only wild card would be the cats...like everyone else I wish you luck, but do not fold, give them hell!

So update, I guess the 322 was with the test pipes. I didn't read the email correctly. I was disapointed, but hp is just a number right? Did i mention it was a mustang dyno :-P Ill have the slip after i pick it up today

If you leave stock cats on it will kill your power.

Yeah with TP's you'll pick up at least 10.

That sounds right. I have the same type of mods and made 324whp.. And that was with an exhaust leak that I had to fix afterward.

Good numbers.

Until you put it on a dynojet, it's a mystery...

Sounds like you could have saved money by just not having them mess with the cats?

If they won't let you "leave" without the cats on the car, you could trailer it home. If the car doesn't get driven out of their shop, they aren't liable and shouldn't care.

Uhaul rental is likely cheaper than the labor they put into fabricating those cats just so you could get home.

So if everything is correct, and the mustang dyno was configured right. What does 322 equate to on a standard dyno like dynojet? Just currious

AlexRaymond19 · 04-03-2013, 11:08 AM

Thats what I should have done

Live and learn man, I've made similar mistakes.

Joepro · 04-03-2013, 11:38 AM

correct me if I am wrong, that may break 350 on a dyno jet! HOLY SHINIKIES! I have been monitoring my old forum but have yet to find a set, waiting for Z1's unless I find some.

AlexRaymond19 · 04-03-2013, 11:49 AM

Thats what i was thinking. Im going to also grab a few of their other sheets of stock cars they have dyno'd to get a baseline. Hopefully they have dyno'd another 370z. And the 1/4 mile track is right down the road. Going to see if i can get a few runs in and see what my trap speed is
