Did you do before and after dyno for stock/modded comparison? If not, dyno numbers don't really mean a whole lot because of the significantly varying factors such as the individual dyno and weather at the time of the run(s).

I did a dyno after installing intakes and across three runs, it peaked at 283 HP and 231 TQ. However, I have no baseline to compare it to, so it doesn't really help anyone determine gains from the intake. I am getting a tune this weekend, and my tuner is going to do some dyno runs for me. He will do multiple runs with the stock tune and then his EcuTek tune, so accurate comparisons can be made between the two.

Lowered my clutch pedal. I was pretty conservative and only did a little over 1 turn but it feels much better. Engagement is still on the higher side, but better than from the factory. Combined with the lighter spring I installed last month, I think I'm finally happy with the car's engagement.

I didn't get a chance to dyno it when it was stock, I pulled 279.8whp and 216tq with the mods now, my afr is way off

Well hopefully you can get it all squared away with a tune

It's definitely easier to dyno different tunes (i.e. switch tune map vs parts removal/installation required) so maybe you can do that when the time is right

BlackZ85 · 05-17-2013, 01:08 PM

Waiting on my berk hfc to come and ill probably get a tune soon after that, let me know what your numbers are after tune

I will definitely be posting those results here

I'm dropping the Z off with the tuner tonight for tuning this weekend. It will probably be a few weeks after that before the dynos are done.

JARblue · 05-17-2013, 09:46 PM

Just got back from dropping the Z off at the tuner for an EcuTek tune this weekend

RiCharlie · 05-17-2013, 10:00 PM

Took Mrs.Force for a short road trip. Gave her the boost experience.

We stopped at this cool place for lunch,

The guy smokes a minimum of 150lbs of meat daily. This is the Carnivore Sampler. 1.5lbs of meat. Pulled pork, beef brisket, pork ribs, and sausage.

The Z, a caged animal,
