Jim Wolf Cam testing for the VQ37VHR -- Results inside!

Have you considered the slightly oversize TBs provided by Syno? 63mm, maybe not as much of an issue as 70 and still less of a "neck down"

I had not because I wasn’t aware until doing a quick search after your post. Sounds like a more viable path with less risk, more economical as well. Thanks for the recommendation!

My tuner warned me about larger throttle bodies. I ignored him, had Syno (Scott) port and polish my stock TBs out to 63mm, did a bunch of other mods and then got a tune. Not only do they work great, my Z was one of the higher HP NA 370s my Tuner had ever worked on. Even without a tune they didn't cause any idle issues.

Seb told me he didnt really like them EPS TBs either...sometimes they want to fight each other, and getting the idle stable is difficult.

This is what the tow bar and intakes look like. Not sure if the air guide would fit my oil cooler. Used the tow bar to clear the intakes and oil cooler as both either didn't clear or were too close to fit paper through.

Most oil cooler kits are Series 6 style 34 rows. This one is a series 1 72 row. The 34 rows are more square and sit back near the radiator

Gotcha - mine is a 25-row. Sounds like it should fit. Fingers crossed!

Lower ported is a waste of time and money for anything NA and stock compression. You should be that money into a ported upper.

I use a m370 on a stock intake, with stillen G3 on a the stock 3.7 block test pipes, and stillen exhaust.
it did not loose any top end power and the bottom, mid . and top end are way better than the stock one.
it made more power all the way through the rpm range. on my Cobb tune. 309 rwhp. 7 AT. base line 264 rwhp.
look at my 1/4 mile times and my trap speed. It made a big difference in my 60 ft time, 1.80 sec.
looking at the new JWT cams. for the 4.5 stroker
