Stillen SC - put on your seat belts

Sh0velMan

So, on the subject of the car in DSPORT...

The baseline pull was abnormally high for a 370Z.

We can, however, normalize the results, which make for some very believable findings... It isn't exactly scientific, but it's better than nothing.


If we go with the "275hp stock" number that most people agree is the average...

275 / 293 = .939

409 * .939 = 384HP Stillen Baseline


All the other ****:
453 * .939 = 425HP.

Which is believable in ideal conditions.

That makes more sense. All of the other guys putting down 450whp+ had swapped out a lot of the kit's components.

Yeah, and just to be clear, me saying the pull is abnormally high isn't me saying that the car puts out more power than others.

It's me saying that dyno's correction factors are wrong.

Yeah, either it's a high reading dyno all the time, or inflated for magazine use. I'm sure it's a blast to drive, but people looking to buy a Stillen kit need to understand 460whp is not the norm. At all.

Beyond the norm, it's not even possible without significant changes to the kit. Plus I'd say 600CC injectors are gonna be close to their limits @ 460WHP.

Don't most of the Stage 1 turbo kits and the Stage 1 GTM S/C come with 660's?

Well guys... to be polite, a short sentence, your comments are laughable

Please explain. Your stock dyno is 15-20whp higher than usually seen here on dynojets. That skews your readings. That error is not linear, so the discrepancy increases as the output increases. Other members have had to replace most of the parts of the kit besides the blower to make 450+whp. What makes yours different? Is your car a factory freak? Are you running a different pulley than the standard kit? Or, much more likely, the dyno is inflated. The stock baseline shows this. 293 whp is unheard of for a stock car.

Not to mention the fact your on CA gas.
