I hope you get better numbers w/ that

 

I agree... that's a good HP number for your setup on a mustang dyno but the torque is unusually low. I ened up with 282 hp and 243 ft lbs tq as a reference on a mustang dyno.

 

youve got a 6MT which ive seen crank out more power than the 5ATs as well. those are impressive hp numbers.

 

Uprev in Austin uses a dynojet, my baseline without mods was 267 (I have 6MT), they forgot to print out the TQ on my slip. I have yet to get a proper tune on the dyno with my mods yet (I have a canned 'e-tune' for now). They did tell me stock, the software isn't going to do much for an HR motor unless you've got mods. I'm curious if the k&n drop ins are maybe even hurting performance. I would think the intake would certainly help in your situation since you already have exhaust.

 

that was my thought as well. the Gen 3 is on backorder from stillen currently. they are saying 2 weeks. this waiting game always happens to me!

 

why did you get a tune if you dident have fullbolt ons. your should get the plenum from motordyne they make for your hr engine.

 

because the consensus on our HR motors with the Dual Throttle bodies is that the stock intake system was about as good as it gets apart from the STillen Gen 3. all other short ram intakes had used dynos confirmed they didnt make anymore power, and in some cases they lost power.

As far as i know Motordyne only makes a spacer for the 1st gen G35s. the dual throttle body setups dont have one.

 

Sorry, but they do not make anything for the HR motor.


You are 100% correct about the spacers only being for the 1st gen's, but they do actually make an entire plenum replacement for the dual throttle bodied VQ37VHR motors. My guess is that was what he was referring to. Nonetheless, it's definitely NOT for the HR motors.

 

from the looks of it its just a 370z upper intake manifold. im not sure how that could make much of a difference unless you took it apart and polished out the plastic on the inside.

 

Its not. Dyno attached is from the same car, swapped out invidia test pipes for ART pipes and the stock manifold for the Motordyne M370 then retuned. Its legit

 

Not very much info about it on it from their site, but it could be interesting if they had one for the HR:

Tony doesn't make crap parts, if he says 10-15HP increase with his HR plenum I believe him. He puts hundreds of hours in R&D when he designs anything for us. Yes, I think I have a man crush on him.

 

... and again, for the record, there is no HR plenum; it's either for the 1st gen motors or the VHR motors. (man crush or not)

 

updated first post with intake and retune.

 

What was your original baseline again? (Your numbers don't quite seem to add up )

Well, I'm still surprised by the relatively low torque numbers you're getting, and it still seems like a lot of money invested for those returns. Regardless, all that matters is that you are happy.
