I did one once before and it was with people who had done it before. I remember having to do all sorts of stuff..but I don't remember them clearly enough so this one, Im going to let my mech do.

Not getting the car back for a few days.

RCZ · 04-29-2009, 04:45 PM

I got my results and its about the same as everyone else.

310WHP 228WHP

I am seeing if they have any pictures of the whole graph.

I am a little worried about the torque number, but one thing that should be taken into account is that the car didn't have ANY time to adjust to the new mods. That dyno pull was done immediately after install. I have a feeling I will pick up at least 5whp after it gets used to the new mods. Then another 10-15whp with a tune. My Goal was 330whp. It is going to be damn close.

Also this is WITHOUT the pulley.

Nice results! Yeah, I want to see the torque curve.

ChrisSlicks · 04-29-2009, 08:38 PM

Noticed your peak has now moved up slightly to 7500 which is interesting. The fact that your torque number hasn't moved much isn't all that surprising as most of your improved power is likely coming in the higher rpms beyond the torque peak. So your torque curve improved just not the torque peak.

Great results!

Yeah the car feels different now, I need to get it redynoed. Feels stronger than when I picked it up for sure.

Hopefully that stronger feeling is coming from some more torque gains once the car adapted to the mods. I'm looking forward to the dyno and hopefully some new videos for us to enjoy

I really wish this car had more torque. 300WHP is plenty but I really wish it had around 260TQ.

So basically you're asking for more HP at lower RPM.

Yes.
It would be nice if the car could pull hard throughout the rpm range.

Meh, it's a high-revving V6, not a torque-y low-rpm V8 like my last car. I kinda like the change in character. Above 4K is where this engine really starts stretching its legs.

Don't we all?

Next mods are Flywheel, Test pipes, Tune, Carbotech brake pads/fluid/ss lines, KW V3's, control arms, Swaybars, chassis braces, wheels/tires

Oh my, information overload!

What chassis braces are you looking at? Those Nismo ones?

Where are you getting the SS brake lines? I hadn't seen any in 370Z-specific lengths on anyone's site yet.

Haha you guys are Jerks, I should've sat quietly! I should have DDM pay me for that just now.

If I'm not mistaken, CZP has SS brake lines out for us already.
Stoptech Rotors, Hawk Pads, CZP Brake Lines, >>

You guys want to get a group discount going on some real brake pads? I can talk to Carbotech for us. They are starting production on the pads this week.

Cobalt is another option
