If it works well, I will get it mass produced and sell it through a vendor.

Thanks guys,

Dumb question, so bear with me. Could the black pillar/license plate holder, be causing air flow interference ? Causing over heating.

If that were true it would be probably the most in-efficient radiator ever produced.

RCZ · 03-07-2009, 12:15 AM

Yeah it's not the radiator. I am hesitant to put an big oil cooler in front of it though, because that will have a little bit more of an effect. A pretty good shop around me suggested twin coolers in the bumper, but after what happened to Travis, I'm not sure I want to deal with more oil lines than I need to.

Just got back from the Dyno. It was done on a Mustang Dyno so the numbers didn't surprise me all that much. Did three runs which were all pretty close. 256WHP, 204WTQ.

As a comparison, there was a 350z on the dyno before me with everything you can bolt on to it. Full headerback exhaust, intake plenum, intakes, flywheel, etc. That made 249WHP. So overall I am happy with the numbers.

Videos + graph posted later.

RCZ · 03-07-2009, 07:10 PM

Here are the videos.

BTW this run, we did with the intake filters out and literally just open intakes. It made exactly the same power...so no gains to be had with high flow filters.

I will get a digital pic of the graph and put that up...otherwise prepare for a picture of the graph...

New pics from this weekend's meet.

Looking nice.

Were there any other 370's or did yours get all the googling eyes?

I fixed them for you!

BTW, RCZ, what % tint do you have on the car? I got 10 days to come up with the %.

Thanks

I had a hook up from a friend who owns an exotics dealership. Its some special tint that he called 35% that is usually used when customers request dark tinting from Porsche factory. He said it is somewhere between 25% and 35% in the real world. The cool part is that is that it is surprisingly light from the inside. You can tell sometimes from the outside when the light hits it, but anytime before 11AM and after 3PM, it looks really nice and dark from outside.

To make the answer short. 30% Ill try to get a picture from the inside sometime.

RCZ · 03-10-2009, 03:23 PM

I got all the googlers. No other Z's so far I've only seen 1 on the road.
