I realize the gains here are pretty significant and that's the important thing, but I'm curious to know why are the overall numbers are so low? On average, it seems as if a brand new stock Z makes around 285 rwhp. Why is your best run showing just that with all of these modifications?

Ok, I'm an idiot. I wasn't looking at the bar graph, just at the red and blue numbers listed on the graph: 287.393 (red), 258.652 (blue), etc. Now that I realize my mistake, 318 makes perfect sense.

Thanks for pointing this out.

These results are better then I could have hoped for. This seems pretty high, but the car feels pretty damn fast.

The tune pretty much cleaned up all of the throttle lag, the idle is much smoother and it feels smoother all the way through the powerband. It feels much more responsive and it is seriously noticable in the higher Rpms. I didn't get to play with it much today. Rush hour traffic prevented that from happening. I will definitely play with it more this weekend.

Wow, those are great numbers. That's what most guy's are hoping to see and end up seeing about 20hp less. Nice job!

I've read a lot about dyno dynamics being a real heart breaker because they are usually 1-2% lower then a Dynojet. It sure didn't break my heart!

This dyno obviously reads lower than others that have been posted on the forum. all dynos will read different, there are just to many variables to factor in. i made 316whp on this dyno with the same tuner and similar mods.

Interesting. Thanks for the reply.

I'm scheduled to have Ecutek installed tomorrow by a master tuner. I'm looking forward to the results.
