I was thinking about doing a before and after dyno to see results but it's hard not to upgrade the internals with the engine pulled.

Z1 just busted the highest NA hp record with these cams. Video posted on Youtube.
376 HP.

For anyone curious about whether it makes a difference in the sound or not, it does. Quite a bit, actually. It's no LS chop chop, but you can certainly tell the difference.

Congrats!

I heard in the video you have headers, test pipes, cbe, CAI w/ z1 upgrade, ported upper/lower intake manifolds. Anything else?

aftermarket diff, lightweight flywheel, rotors, etc?

I like how it's almost exactly 100hp per liter.

Z1 lightweight flywheel and EPS 70mm TBs

Me too:happydance:

What tune and octane that monster got for those awesome pulls?

Jon Parham at Z1 did the tune. The 376/299 was on E85

So I would assume they used EcuTek?

Nope...UpRev!

what kinda gas? 93?

I assume there's no way anyone can touch that with california 91 pisswater

Regular pump E85 or the fancy E85-R?

They did runs with pump 93 and e85.

but which E85? The kind you get at the local gas station that has ethanol levels that can vary dramatically or E85R which is a tightly controlled E85 race fuel.

Hotrodz is right, 93 and E85 and tuned on Uprev. I honestly don't know about the E85, though. The closest station that carries it is like an hour from Z1, so I'm not sure if it was ordered or if somebody made a special trip and went to stock up.

I'm sure everybody's curious, so here's both, 93 pump gas and corn. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...97e9f50c66.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1e6e91e289.jpg

I would absolutely pay money to see another car (besides mine!) equiped with same parts be dynoed on Z1’s dyno.

This is awesome to see with off the shelf parts and tune. Gives more NA peeps hope.

I have those cams in a box and about to order injectors for my car. Makes me want to hurry up.

Unfortunately, my cams and SC will be going on at the same time and can't really do a comparison. Doing some minor head porting and upping the valve size by 1mm.

It was pump e85 not vp, egnite or torco. Just so things don't get twisted, Will has kept me up to date on all of this. He and I share ideas with each other on our builds.

Thinking about a set of cams for the track beast?

You can pay for my dyno time:rofl2:
Not sure I follow this, though:confused:

In other words, I like to see Z1 repeat the dyno testing on a different car (engine) with all of the same mods.

This would determine if the results were repeatable, or if your results were just the will of the Z gods.

If they could duplicate the results on a different car, that would indicate that the recipe of mods is very well matched and complemented, i.e. “the perfect set up”.

I will have a repeat of the same mods minus the e85 and injectors, I am staying on 93 octane. It will be installed and tuned by Dynosty in the coming months, don't have a firm date on the calendar yet.

I made 341whp/271wtq with the following list of power or power related mods:

Z1 Intakes
Z1 Plenum Power Mod
Motordyne LTH
Fast Intentions Exhaust
Stillen Lightweight Pulley
Z1 Lightweight Flywheel

The next round will include the following list of upgrades:

Z1 Race Intakes Upgrade (Installed)
Z1 Ported Lower Intake (Installed)
Dewla Dezign Cold Air Intake Guide (Installed)
Z1 2-piece Lightweight Rotors (Installing this weekend)
Jim Wolf C2 Cams (Pending installation and tune at Dynosty)

I was also going to do EPS Big Bore Throttle Bodies but both Z1 and Dynosty have recommended staying away from them due to poor idle quality and reliability issues.

After the tune is done, I will be going back and upgrading the LSD and final drive to 4.08s. At which point my N/A build should be complete... yea right.


I will share with everyone the results of the C2 cams once completed.

241 hp?

I have most of the same mods, E85, ported upper & lower, etc..

I have not installed the headers or cams yet...planning on both at same time.

Not optimistic that I can pick up THAT much power with the cam and headers.

But now I am having concerns with my EcuTek tune. Maybe I will goto UpRev...

341whp, I edited the post thank you!

The guys at Z1 have stated that the newer Zs, 2016+, have consistently been producing higher dyno numbers, both stock and with upgrades. Not sure if that carries any weight or not but will be interesting to see.

This is common theme when someone provides data on significant gains with any build. The reality is regardless of the car gains will be made with Z1 400 kit. It has been proven over and over already. The degree of the gains will be based on the additional mods you add to that list, the weather, the dyno and your motor. My experience with own build compared to others with similar or the same modes showed my motor made at least 20whp less than most regardless of fuel type. I was disappointed at first but that went away after I drove it and Seb told me the rest of the story and was my motor was a freak on the torque side of the game. Because I was on a stock motor and internals he could not maximize my top end or whp because my tq level could not be held down. Anyway, like John said the results were unexpected but definitely worth sharing. You got to pay your money and take your chances as nothing is a sure thing if you are chasing record type numbers.

When you are doing work on a motor. It's best to stick to one dyno for all the testing. Baseline and tuning. If you use different dyno's. The results will be fudged.

This ^^^^^^^

Ecutek is fine. You are over thinking this.

How about an exhaust video. I want to see if this car sounds as good as your old one. LOL Your old car was the best sounding 370z ever. That is why I opted for the Carbon Fiber mufflers on my 3" exhaust.

For all that have never heard it before.

I have had one in the works for awhile now. Hard to say if mine now is better than in the video. The Motordyne Headers w/ Hemholz resonators produce more of a high pitched exotic noise where the setup in the video was a very deep sound. Also my FI exhaust is non-resonated now as opposed to 18" inch resonators in the video. Below is Dynosty's video on facebook of my setup but doesn't do the setup complete justice.

I will try and get a video put together though for my current. The weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow.

I hope you are right, but:

My 50 plus track runs, 20 data log files and three dyno sessions say otherwise..

I’ve built and flywheel dynoed lots of NA motors, some over 1000 hp.

I really think my 370z motor has a bug somewhere...I just need to find it.

Whoa, slow down. Just because I have the target on my back now doesn't mean I'm ready for yall to start shooting just yet:rofl2: Let me enjoy it for a while haha

Johnnydrama has a shot to get you. LOL He is not doing E85 though and it looks like that gained you 10hp.

Jon told me he still believes single exhausts make more power, so maybe mine still has more in it, I don't know. If so, I'm sure it's marginal. Maybe round out to 380 and 300...I just can't quite wrap my head around that. Singles making more power doesn't make sense to me.

How much of a pain was it to install the z1 intake upgrade with the dewla air guide? I was thinking of doing the same, but wasn’t sure there would be room, even with a modified crash bar.
