So many people seem to get hung up on these dyno numbers. Track and 1/4 mile times are the only real measures of whether you have actually made your car faster or not.

LOL! N-deed! Woot duz this Z trap in the quarter

They use STD numbers which is 4% inflated. It may not seem like much, but take his numbers and take 4% off -- not so impressive now.

Still pretty impressive for the mods he has.

Honestly, with his mods, I would be expecting 299-305 tops. I guess with a stellar tune and good weather, you could see 308 (which is his number reduced by 4%).

Sounds closer to the numbers i would expect. Damn, just when i had convinced myself 3 bolt ons would give me 60hp

Most base/stock z's are at what 275-285? And nismos maybe 10-12 higher? Thats a GIANT leap to 320 with a couple minor breathing mods. Hell i wanna meet this tuner, he must be some kind of ancient car god sent to earth or something.

I agree -- it's good for what he has, but we all know that the next mod won't give him that much HP. Hell, I dyno-ed 301 w/ G3's and FI -- I thought for sure I was going to hit 315 SAE w/ ARTs and tune. I ended up w/ 306 - 308.

My car was heatsoaked and it was 86 degrees out which didn't help. I'm going to install my oil cooler and go back to dyno tune so the tuner will have more time to adjust w/o worrying too much about heat.

edit: or F it all and go boost

synolimit · 10-10-2013, 03:31 PM

I wonder how mikes making so much.

mag_black · 10-10-2013, 05:23 PM

^^yea, regardless of correction, he's still making good power. He has the Z1 power mod?

264/328 with the right correction for him and

Stillen Gen 3
Z1 intake manifold mod
Momentum headers
test pipes
Invidia Exhaust with muffler section removed and replaced with 12" glasspacks
Z1 tune.

That dyno could still have a 2-3% swing.

i'm still pretty much of a newbie to this site. i'm wondering if there's a sticky or something where a guy can look up the meaning of all the two and three letter abbreviations you guys use.
