Nice man can't wait to come home and bring him my Z

Congrats on the numbers. Please posts baseline vs tuned here so we can see the gains.

How long did it take? How much did they charge if you don't mind posting or pming. driving impressions? worth it?

wow I didnt expect that much of a change just for exhaust and intake. arent most non nismos dynoing at around 275-280 RWHP stock? seems like one hell of a jump to 321. HOPEFULLY 99% of that power was from the intake and catback, as well as tune. I REALLY REALLY REALLY dont wanna put rasp generators aka HFC's on it just for some power. nice numbers though man, what kind of dyno? what were your base numbers?

chefsung 10-08-2013 10:09 PM

sorry for the late feedback.
Im still waiting for the shop to send me the file"dyne".
what i have done on my car is gen3, z1 hfc, and invidia cat back.
I dont really hear any rasp. my car was really quiet with the invidia. but hfc just made it sound like more of a growl?
it took them about 1:30min. and it costed me 600 with up rev and dyno tune.
Im really really happy and happy that i did what i did.
car is definitely much more smoother, and you know that lag when gassing in first gear? gone!

Lord, Z1's dyno gets more and more ridic.

Sh0velMan - Who's dyno do you recommend we all use to get the most accurate results? So far you are not a fan of Specialty Z or Z1 as you have stated their equipment show inflated numbers.

Without an initial baseline run the final HP and TQ numbers are useless. Every dyno in the world will give different numbers on different days under different conditions. A car claiming 320hp and 260tq could actually be making less power than a car claiming lower numbers.

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.

All of this.

It is my opinion that the Z1 dyno has about a 6-9% boost over most other dynos as far as the numbers reported on cars with near identical mods and conditions.

I have some stats I've collected over the last year that lead me to believe that there are some very real, very specific, horsepower limits without changes to certain key components which are basically never touched in bolt on builds.

So either Z1s dyno has some calibration creep, Z1 has access to tuning resources that other shops don't (meaning features of Uprev that aren't public and lead to huge gains, which is very unlikely), or these users posting results have secret mods they aren't mentioning.

Just one man's opinion.

Dyno or no dyno, Jon is an amazing tuner. The customer service and peace of mind knowing I have a reliable car is well worth it to me.
Base n final numbers is all that matters. If u see the gains, drivability is good that's all that matters.
Every car Club forum has the "highest hp numbers" and none of those guys ever go to a Mustang dyno for those numbers. Feels good to see high numbers too haha.
