+1 to that! With 275's in the rear and my suspension mods and tune, my measly power numbers break lose the rear too much for my taste. I couldn't imagine what 375rwtq to the ground must feel like.

I was wondering at what rwtq point does the G stop being able to use the power? Sorry to thread jack

It really depends on what else you do to the car to harness the power, and of course the manner in which you then apply that power. I have 566rwtq on 12psi boost right now, and have been using it on the street and track with no problem. But I have a lot of suspension and driveline mods and big grippy tires, which makes all the difference in the world.

Don't have a scaner...but at 11 psi, the car did 460/410 on 91 octane with a very safe tune (right before th track event). With race gas, the numbers would have been much different. Since this, I hae (I think) identified and corrected a flaw in the system, the stupid fine mesh taht sits in front of the MAF sensor on 03 Type I Sedans (first 315000 cars). Since it's removal, the top end is noticeably, i mean REALLY noticeably, more powerful. So, i'd say I'm at around 460/450 now on 91 octane and stock cams. Am trying to get some cash together to do cams, we'll see.

"get some cash together to do cams"... in Gurgenese, that means 150 more hp.

do you think removing that mesh would do anything for a N/A car?

^^^ LMAO! Nice one!

As far as the mesh.... not sure, it's worth the try. Hwever, it does roughen the car's idle and low rpm operaton, whcih makes sense, since that's exactly what that mesh is for, to provide laminar flow over the sensor at low air velocities. At higher loads, the motor is smooth as solk.

So I take it you wouldn't recommend Z1? I stay about 15 minutes away from them and pretty familiar with their work.. bunch of cool guys but I had a few issues myself. Congratulations with getting the car up and running though!

Well Z1 ...as far as cool guys... dont' know.... I know they urinate in cars of people that used to work for them (two separate CONFIRMED cases that I am aware of... I am pretty sure they are part of the public record in the lawsuits that they had a while back). They are a bunch of hacks that don't know anything about cars. The only good work that thye have done, on the Z32s was almost entirely done by this guys (won't disclose his name) tat later left. They are lying SOBs as far as I am concerned.

I was going to let them rebuild my engine (APS TT) but I decided otherwise, after one oil change with them I had 3 different issues (Stripped oil pan bolt, Billows of smoke from the oil pan being over filled by like 2 quarts, and the plastic fender wells started coming off completely)

Didnt know about the pissing thing but I know my issues were due to just one person who wasnt competent and shouldn't be working on Z's or G's.
