The reason why we rate it in hp, is that there are too many variables involved in wheel horsepower numbers: temperature, elevation, gas quality, dyno type (and dyno setup), and the car itself.

So far, we have many customers that have installed the system and they are on target for the average horsepower we anticipated. At no point did we ever say that our kit is going to make 460whp.

I think he's geting it from the first SC anouncment page:

http://www.the370z.com/forced-induct...s-release.html

toward the bottom of the page.
The mistake he made is that you do claim 468 BHP, not whp. To be fair to him, you do show 452 hp on a stg1 graph @ 8 lbs that seems to indicate whp (never seen BHP displayed on an actual dynograph before). Mostly, just a misunderstanding.

Keep shopping all, there are lots-o-stuff for your fun out there now days, for alternative upgrades that work without intervention on the post build reaching into the $$$$$.

Take care all.

What exactly did you have to 'fix,' you came in this thread posting a bunch of stuff was not working which was promised and it took others to fix it. Are you running a GTM Stage 1 SC with LTH or just randomly trying to start a flame war?

Hello all; new to the Z world...

Just purchased 2011 370 two weeks ago, but have not made an introduction post because my baby has been at the dealership since I bought it (new transmission and getting some scratches fixed).

Anyway, coming from the Mustang world, the 370's are new to me. I was looking at the dyno posted and have a question.. Is the A/F safe running that lean with 8lbs of boost? I have always had my boosted stangs tuned to 10-11, but never anything above 11.

Just curious...

Jeremie

Yes it is safe.

Start a flame war? Nice, just giving my witness, and based on the bashing given out for not drinking the Koolaid, what would be the attraction to say anymore, carry on and best of luck to you.

Your 'witness' was a blank statement about having to fix something, which many users have just put on their car, tuned and been on their way. When someone comes onto the forum stating they had to call upon many other people to fix something, people would like to know what it is you had to do.
I do not drink the koolaid of anyone, if you spend some time on this forum you might see I have owned almost any product from any compnay. Stillen, GTM, Volk, Takeda, Fast Intentions, Berk, etc. I provide information to help better this community and when someone says what you said, it throws off alarms you are just trolling or starting a flame war.

I agree. It is helpful for the community to know specifics.

Loooong story... Took the car home and found two deep scratches and there was a spot on the roof they touched up with touch up paint. Took it back to have fixed. Picked up the car and come to find out they buffed the entire car and left really bad buffing marks and the trans was no making noises. I think the guy that picked it up to install the leather ragged on it. So now they are replacing the trans and trying to get the swirl marks out. Assuming they didnt burn through the clear, I might be able to pick up tomorrow. If they did jack up the clear, I will be fighting with them to buy back the car and find me another.

So far, my experiance with Dan Davis Nissan has been the worse ever.

Damn, dude, that sucks. Hopefully it is resolved to your liking.

Oh, and from one Mustang guy to another, welcome :tup:

It all depends on the tuner. Some like to add more timing and run richer to make up for the timing. Some like to run mild timing and mild a/f.

I personally like to run mild timing and aim for a/f to be around 11.5-11.8 a/f at full boost.

It all depends on the motor though, some motors like more fuel while others like to be ran leaner.
