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!

Have you had a chance to do much testing with the butt dyno, how's it feel?

I did a brake job today and then took it out for an hour test drive after. It feels awesome. Extremely smooth and responsive throughout the entire power band. It's almost scary fast now. I'm thoroughly impressed. The traction control doesn't kick on as easily, allowing me to have more control and freedom and the slightly higher rev-limiter is a nice touch.

Because I don't have the syncro-revmatch trans, the only other map I have is for valet. We spoke about an economy map, pops and bangs and a ghost cam, but I decided against all of them. A lean economy map could possibly damage my HF cats. Pops and bangs and a ghost cam sounded unnecessilary streneous on the engine for no real gain, other then to sound cool.

Far and away the highest numbers ever posted for a stock VQ37 with bolt ons and a tune. Put it on a different dyno, those numbers are whack.

My mechanics g37 with bolt on's and e85. Granted it's on a dynapack, but still great numbers.

I agree. These numbers are much higher than others with similar mods. I was hoping for somewhere in the 320's, so this blew me away. I plan to call PTuning and ask for the initial dyno results so that I can compare the numbers before the Ecutek tune. I'd also like to know what gear he used. Although I would like to put it on a Dynojet, I just don't have the funds for that right now. This tune and a brake job were the last two things in my budget for the next six to eight months. Yesterday while doing my brakes I noticed an insane amount of ozone cracking between the treads on one of my rear tires. I'm sure this is the result of being a garage queen with very low miles on eight year old factory tires. So now I have to drop several hundred bucks on tires so I can safely run the car on Road Atlanta at the Z Nationals next months, so there's just no cash right now for another dyno run.

I completely agree. I ran a dyno jet this summer, went from completely stock to what I am at now. stock run on a dyno jet I was 268 WHP. after 4 months of working on the Z and 10K of parts installed with an UpRev tune I'm only 317 at the wheels without nitrous. 344 is impossible N/A I can't see those numbers being legit

268hp seems really low for stock. I thought the average was somewhere in the low 280's?

Although I'm not arguing that my numbers are off, I don't think 344 is impossible on a NA motor. The exhaust cams combined with other bolt-ons may very well produce those numbers, but their installation requires a great deal of work.
