There was a guy here who were doing that research which I forgot his name. My guess was 3% more drivetrain loss on the 7AT Vs the 6MT.

as far as the VVEL tuning , they did said they couldn't do much with it. need more time learning to tune it properly I suppose.

Mike had this exhaust that was modified with glasspack muffler
60mm exhaust . Invidia Gemini

Spoon did like 32Xwhp with a very similar setup but with 2x 70mm exhaust. Its where I think he lost power because of that.


then again Dyno are a tuning tool ,, unless you go for some pull on that same dyno where Mike's Z went, with the same seting and everything, we cant know for sure if you are or he is making the most power.

yea i know it's not a big percent hence why i said i didnt believe when i read somewhere saying it was 15%

based on the VVEL tuning not being really useful yet that still makes me wonder what they did to pull 342whp.

i doubt glasspacks help with HP pretty sure thats a sound mod lol

We don't think the glasspacks help, but the 60mm tubing probably does. As for the intake mod, I don't really know what it is, that is Z1s secret. Their shop car is making the same power as mine also.

I do think another possible difference is that I didn't baby mine during break in and its been 90% hard track miles since day 1.

Other possible factors are maybe my quaife lsd has less drag than a stock one, but I have no idea on that one, and also maybe because my race wheels and tires at the time were a good bit lighter and smaller diameter than street wheels and tires could also help. I think when I actually had a set of street tires, the car dyno'd 6hp lower
