[QUOTE=JARblue;2278709]My Z is very friendly to tuners. In fact, the Z has a date with one next week. I overheard their phone call, and she was very polite

The VVEL system might create more power, but honestly it will be a larger expense, because you will need to incorporate an exhaust cam into the tuning mix to see true benefits.

Z1 is using Uprev which is currently in a pro tuner beta test phase.
And then if you believe ECUtek they claim Uprev is wrong with how they are tuning VVEL.

Is there any projections for HUGE gains with stock cams? Still kind of a moot point if you're not upgrading cams.
And I still don't see what he's complaining about.

IMO the only ones capable of truly understanding how the VVEL system works in the Z are the engineers who designed it. Everything else is just reverse engineering and a lot of guess work...trial and error.

From my understand, the exhaust cam is already quite aggressive with the Z. I'm sure it can be designed better as any OEM would never make anything too aggressive. But, full control over the intake cam should do wonders. Imagine being able to set your own profile, your own lift, your own duration with the flick of a mouse? Less overlap can already create more boosted power with gains for NA motors as well. Most of what VVEL does has to do with emissions. But, when we have control, that is the icing on the cake. Also, with the recent exposure to osiris from ecutek, it is quite possible that we are leaving quite a bit on the table. DE and HR motors are making the same power with more boost. Imagine what our motors can do with that same amount. HP per PSI should dramatically increase. |

Evo 9 guys shift the entire torque band to earlier in the rev range with no ill effects on the top end. And, this is with only controlling cam timing on the intake side. Imagine lift and duration as well. |

I am not too sure why you are even comparing the Evo/Sti to the Z? I had a mildly tuned IX and it put down 350whp. It doesn't matter what car it is, all turbo cars react different and better to mods, than any NA car will. Two toally different car types, and two different roads to modding ability.
