LOL...I am done with the mods as there really aren't any other bolt ons I can do. My previous cars were a 97 Mustang GT with heads/cam/vortech andd then an 03 Cobra with 480 to the wheels so those days are past and opening!

 

I hear ya......I had a built/turbo integra gsr back in the day (440whp on 18psi and c16), but am really having fun with the z (g in your case).

 

I did say hopefully. I know all dynos and operators are different. I did 252 on a dyno dynamics then a few weeks later 225 on a dyno jet.

Did you dyno on sunday?

 

2k rpm launch my fastest mph is 103. I did 13.4 at 101 my 1/8th was 8.6

 

I think 245 is very possible for you.....post tune.

I did, but I have been having some problems with the clutch (90k of extreme abuse) and on sunday it just wasn't holding while under load on the dyno. I think I only put down 271 or something. It is at the point after the pulls that it slips if I go full throttle in 6th on the highway. The two cars that were close (maybe 5whp higher than me on a dynojet) were in the 290 area. It's alright though I had fun and like I said I knew it could be a problem.

I'll be ready to compete with the HR's and 3.7's in the Fall

 

271 is a big only to the wheels N/A with stock cams.

 

Well, it was set-up much different than usual. There was an HR there that made 286 on a dynojet and he put down 293 on Sunday. The mode used for this shootout was MUCH different than he uses while tuning. The slip was very noticable and Dave (owner/tuner at Function) has been telling me the past few times I was there it needed to be replaced asap), but I am cheap. This time he told me flat out that it was going to die any minute and could leave me stranded. I hadn't changed anything from when I was on the dynojet. So I know where I would have stacked up, but it was ****ty timing that it really started going caput this past week. My guess is I was down about 15-20whp from where it would have been given a new clutch. Time will tell.

 

Well you were 1hp short. I pulled 243.9 with 230tq I was hoping for more my car was heatsoaked and it was hot, but I'm happy overall because I saw gains through out the powerband.

I picked up 13.5hp and 20ftlb on top of the tune I already had.

Before
230hp
210tq

after retune
243.9hp
230tq

The car is much smoother and responsive now than before. i'll post up the charts later. I'm going to get a 3in maf once they (Z1) get some in stock.

 

Great man......perhaps you should create a new thread. 244 is very, very respectable on that dyno through an auto. That thing reads insanely low like I said. I know 6mt guys that don't get to 244 on there.

 

What did you add to get those gains or was this all from a re-tune?

 

The only mods not on my sig are headers and MREV2. I pulled 230 when I got there after a 4hr drive on the tune I already had.

Dave then got to work on my tune and it gained on every pull. I didn't know the tq until the printout.

I've been to other tuners here on the east coast and never saw any gains like this. I either lost hp or gained a little like 2-3hp on a retune.

I plan on going to the shops where I lost hp and gained a little because they are both dynojets and see what I pull. I pulled 241 at one shop and 248 at the other.

The car is so smooth now I recommend Dave at FT to anyone for a tune if you are close.

Here are the graphs no need to mark the before and after.

I plan on going to the track tonight to see if I can better my times on street tires. I did 13.4 on the tune I had before.

 

Dave is very good at what he does. He has got a great rep in the mid atlantic. Looks like you should pick up anotther .1-.2 in the 1/4 and another 1-1.5mph. Should be fun.

 

I wonder if it was the headers or the MREV2 as what I have read about it says they don't do anything for the AT cars.

 

I'm not sure since we have almost the same mods. Only one way to find out.

Do you have pics of your dyno sheet?

 

Honestly, the MD exhaust>borla and MD spacer>skunk2. He also has test pipes, which in combination with the MD exhaust more than likely makes a 6-8whp advantage. I haven't really seen headers make a difference on a stock cam car. The mrev2 actually tends to lose a few peak whp, but gains substantially in the midrange. I am also not much of a fan of long tube style cold air intakes, but the difference in power should be nominal.

I hope that doesn't come off as an insult, but just give my opinion as to why he made more power.
