it's not biters I'm worried about, I'm more concerned about overexposure. I don't want to be yersterday's news, so I got to keep some stuff under wraps.
i'm sure it'll be posted sooner than later, considering the car will be there Saturday when Scott Performance is having their free dyno day and inviting all G and Z owners.

well, my installer just called with some preliminary numbers.
no surprise with the drop in boost. for those not aware, it appears that the reducer used by APS to mate the downpipe to a "stock sized" exhaust is causing high back pressure, resulting in a drop in boost from 4500 rpm - redline.
APS claims it is designed to control boost to allow it to peak at mid-RPM and taper off at redline. this is done at the cost of performance.
if you utilize a freeer flowing exhaust, (3" or so), the boost will hold steady 'til redline and you can get bigger numbers. this was evident when Ted pulled off the reducer and ran the car. boost dropped maybe 1 lb, but that's about it.
he said with my set-up (aftermarket cams), he could prolly tweak out 350-355 rWHP with the restriction. if i got it uncorked and went with a freer flowing exhaust, he could prolly get A LOT more (i swore i heard 430 rWHP). HOPEFULLY, i will get some numbers posted tomorrow.
ted from scott performance will tune it with and without the reducer for comparison.

Preliminary dyno results are posted on my website
www.yellowg35.com/turbodyno.html
i'll leave it up to the forum to interpret the data as they which. i was told the boost has been stabilized going to redline. if I want more HP/TQ, I will need to upgrade my exhaust.
As stated on the dyno homepage, take all dyno results for what they are, results for a given car on a given day, at a given dyno shop. Numbers will vary wildly from car to car, from day to day, from shop to shop.
