LOL.

Yeah I had forgotten to give the keys to my son and I was too lazy to edit the beginning out. Did you hear that thing when it was on the dyno ?

Saw the dyno video Dyno Run Uprev Tune Ark Exhaust Berk HFC Typhoon CAI - YouTube

That pretty good number with those mod especially tuned by Hill's Garage. I never been there but hope to visit some day soon. I read other part of your post about your hearing loss. I am hard of hearing on left ear but deaf on right ear.

Oh, I have to admit I am terrible with English and Grammars lol.
My big brother (my friend who is older than me) he brought his 350Z tuned at
Hill's Garage and said they did wonderful tune and great guys. He really love the power of UpRev on his 350Z and is very happy with it. I want to visit Hill's Garage, do anyone want go with me from Northern Virginia area? lol

You know Sign Language? I read lip but have hard time to read lip.
Life is hard to be deaf.

Made an appointment at Hill's Garage in Baltimore on 2/25/2012 to get an UPREV tune, a few dyno runs, and maybe another goodie or two installed if I get them in time. Looking forward to that so I can at least know it is tuned with the stuff bolted on already. Car seems to be running strong, but I am hoping they can make it better. I guess I need to figure out what maps I want.

Hope to get good enough results to post them up.

I just noticed something about the K&N looking at pictures in the install manual. It looks like the plastic thing I circled in the picture using my mad paint skills is supposed to be removed ? What the hell is that thing, and does it hurt anything ? Looks like with it removed the routing of the hose remains unchanged.

I removed mine and it sounds okay, even spits a little on deceleration but no backfires... I LIKE IT! Oh! and no errors on the dash

Don't know if this is useful to other people but I was looking around at braided stainless steel AN type hosing to replace some of the rubber hosing. I had no idea what what all the sizes were so found this nifty little chart that converts inches to -AN. Basically, an AN style size is the measurement of the Inner Diameter of the hose measured in units of 1/16th of an inch. So...

an -2 hose has an I.D. of 1/8"
an -3 hose has an I.D. of 3/16"
an -4 hose has an I.D. of 1/4"
an -5 hose has an I.D. of 5/16"
an -6 hose has an I.D. of 3/8"
an -8 hose has an I.D. of 1/2"
an -10 hose has an I.D. of 5/8"
an -12 hose has an I.D. of 3/4"
an -16 hose has an I.D. of 1"
an -20 hose has an I.D. of 1 1/4"

...this ain't high on my priority list, but I do plan on doing all the PCV stuff when I get my Saiku Maichi OCC set up ... then do some others on down the road.

I can see where that would be confusing so I edited that phrase out. It's a custom Oil Catch Can company that makes "real" catch cans with baffles and internals as opposed to just an empty can. They name them Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 as far as basic design goes.

I am too poor for a real Stage 2 Supercharger, so I get excited about the little stuff.

Anyway, some GTR guys are using them, so I guess if they are good enough to put on a GTR, then they are alright with me.

Oh I see. I am also looking at a good OCC, this is the one I found and its prob. the one I will get. Universal Catch Can seems pretty well engineered.

Link to the one you are talking about?

Little rich for my taste, but it looks like a mighty fine OCC. I see alot of Lotus guys must be using those. I am looking at two of these for like 100 bucks a shot ...

If it's truly functional bling you seek, the cadillac so to speak ... I would roll with 42 Draft...

I added some MASSIVE horsepower and torque today by installing the world famous "The370Z.Com" decal ...
