Z car garage
I just dropped off my car at z car garage after a 3 week wait to get my car tuned. I expected the 3 week wait wasn't for nothing. Rob told me many out of state cars come to his shop for work, and no wonder why. Rob was very nice, answering my questions via telephone and email and He even gave me a discount for being on driver. When I arrived he was very polite. He even drove me to the caltrain station because I couldn't get a ride home! Now that's quality service. I can't wait to pick up my car tomorrow
. Thanks rob!
I picked up my car this morning and it definitely pulled harder
And here's the results! (what's a stock car get to the wheels anyways?) Blue is before tune; red is after

I gained about 9hp throughout the band and 10 torque. I'm not sure why it only goes to 6300rpms but maybe that's normal?
My bolt-on mods are: Invidia G200 dual exhaust, Crawford plenum, and Stillen intake + Ztube

I totally agree!! Rob has done all the work on my car... I'm taking my car in next week to add a Vortech SC, CAI, Stillen header, Stillen front end and other goodies!!
Perfectionists all the way.
Long Live the Z and G!

You got the first ride!! Z-Car is going to feature the build on their Blog site too...
Rob said they should get it done in 7 > 10 days!
I'll keep you posted.
CU at the next mini-meet... when ever that is...

Yeah, Rob at Z car garage is a great guy. I've had a few stuff done to my car and will bring it in again once I'm back to the bay area to get some driveline upgrades, intake changes, and retune with some VVT changes. Here is a post on my350z that i did.

I would guess that a stock car pulls around 215whp SAE corrected on his dyno. This is based on what my car dynoed on another machine and what I've observed to be different on ZCG's dyno.
Here is my current dyno from over there. Your car is normal and power will start dropping off around those RPM so there is really no point to take it all the way to redline. By the way, what kind of mods do you have?

AT and yea that's what I was happy about although I was sort of confused why the numbers were so low, I was expecting ~145 but is the dynojet at zcg accurate or which is the most accurate dyno?
well usually all dyno are never the same. there is always a difference between dynojets from different stores but just always go to the same dyno place if you wanna go see consistent gains.
Good numbers by the way!!!

elayman,
I saw your car when it was getting worked on... Rob was really excited about having it in the shop. Nice results, Z-Car always has done right by me.
So what's next for your car?
