Decided to get rid of the dealer sticker from the back of the car ... used a blow dryer to heat it up ... made the mistake of using my fingernails a little too much to pick at it instead of just rolling it with my thumb or finger. Result is the after picture was taken from an angle far enough away that you can't see the error of my ways.

Before...



After...

Went to Hill's Garage in Baltimore, Maryland today for an Uprev tune. Spent about 2.5 hours there, seems like we did about 10 or so dyno runs.

I know they are kind of pricey compared to others, but I always feel you get what you pay for. Not to take anything away from other DC area tuners, but Frank Hill seems like he has dedicated his life to Nissan and Infiniti. Very passionate about what he does to the cars, and the treatment I got while I was there was top notch. So in my opinion anyway, it was worth every penny to take the car there.

I had noticed the car was sort of degrading, which is why I got the tune. After the exhaust, HFCs and CAI were installed it ran very well...but as days turned into weeks it seemed like it was losing power and not running as well.

Well, after Frank and company worked some magic...she is running like a champ now !

So...very first dyno run we were at 307.1 ... not bad considering my three bolt-ons so far. After a whole bunch of more runs the best we could get was the last run of the day at 323.9. Dyno charts forthcoming if I can get my scanner to work.

Baseline dyno ... this was with K&N Typhoon, Ark Grip CBE and Berk HFCs. I am not sure what happened after the 5240 mark a big blip.



After Uprev tuning and numerous runs ... had to wait a for the last two runs as the oil temps were getting up there. This was the last dyno run. Little blip around 6920 not sure what that was ... I wish I would have asked them.




...I had the following maps loaded... 1. Final Dyno 2. 93 Octane 3. Wife Mode 4. Anti Theft and 5. Stock. My wife mode map is MPH max set at 60 and RPM not over 5,000.

They seemed little surprised after the baseline of 307. I asked the guy what he expected and he said maybe 295 ... a Z went before me and a G after me, and the Z was in the teens i think after tune...the G guy was hoping for like 315 or higher but I didn't stick around to see him finish.

I dunno, maybe the wind was blowing favorably, but in any case I'll take it !

You got some nice numbers with your mods there. I have practically the same set up, but my M370 will probably result in lower top end results. Not to worry, I don't plan on driving around at 7800 + rpm. I'd rather have the good numbers in the range I'm driving in.

Thanks ! The F-4 was an incredible bird. I was at Torrejon AB in Spain around 1982 when we transitioned away from the Phantom to the F-16. Besides seeing some old converted models as modern day Wild Weasel's during Desert Storm, it was the last time I got to see them en masse.

I am still on the fence with the M370, though I agree with you regarding high end. I'm just an old fart who looks fast, but drives slow.
