***** AAM Competition's 370Z Twin Turbocharger System *****

^ Totally agree that reliable power is best and that the dyno is a controlled environment for the tuner to work magic as opposed to WOT down the streets, I mean tracks.

I was just trying to add to jwick's response to GeauxTigers1 question as to why everyone's 'number' varies.

This is all amazing info! Wish I could quote every one of you. Much more info than I expected, freakin love this place! Thanks everyone, added the q's to add at my project consult coming up!

I believe I did have a great advantage at getting over the "600whp" mark at the time. I did choose to upgrade to a automotive 340 fuel pump and 1000cc injectors, with the cjm return lines. I think that alone gave me a high chance in achieving my goal of 550whp. I do also have a tomei titanium single exit exhaust. I don't know how much of a difference it would have against a dual setup. On top of that when it was getting tuned, the weather had a nice chill that day. Roughly 40-50 degrees maybe less, and then I had Jon Parhams awesome secret tuning skills.
So I kinda knew I was gonna get decent numbers at the time but I really wasn't expecting to hit over 600 on 9.5 psi at all, it blew my mind. Guess I was just lucky

What fuel we're you running?

That's the same setup Charles has on his car expect for the turbo system.

Right now i'm GTM TT, 650 CC, 255 walbro.

If I do a CJM S1 Fuel return and 11 PSI tune on 93 octane. Like to think 580 whp is achievable.

Z1's dyno seems like it runs just a touch high, so that's why you're showing more power on the same boost. They're a great crew, good tuners and a good shop, but their dyno is very marketing-friendly.

Also a key point to note is the over 600 number was a fifth gear pull. The fourth gear pull, which is what most of us report, was 589 if I recall properly.

Edit - Again not knocking just trying to point out differences that could account for a high number.

Z1 3rd gear pull at 10+ PSI healthy is good enough for me. If the dyno says 500whp and not 580whp i'll be just fine.

WE all know 10+ PSI VQ will out run 90% of anything on the street, and like I said. "That's all we care about when it comes to power."

E85 is super cheap, runs cool, but you will only get like 10 mpg!

in the end it costs about the same as running 93 or maybe more depending on current/local e85 prices lol

isn't it like 30% faster burning than 93 gas? i cant remember.

e85 station by me is at 2.20/2.30 a gal right now if iirc. 93 here is at 2.99-3.05 depending on location.

I only get 11mpg now on 93oct.

Of course it's my weekend warrior so it only gets driven hard when pulled out of the garage.

do you pull out then drive hard or drive hard then pull out?

These two points are huge for me! Thanks guys, e85 conversion it is then! When I first heard of people doing this I didn't even give it a second thought thinking it was a nightmare of a change, but it sounds pretty simply, and really only benefits rather than any sort of negatives. Except for the mileage of course, but this car isn't a daily driver so it's perfect!

Odd question, but any sort of smell difference? Certain fuels burning obviously give off dif smells, and I love the power but don't want to smell like a rotten egg driving down the road. LOL

hjo1078

dont forget e85 will burn cleaner too, wont leave all that nasty soot all over your car. Big problem for me with 93 octane and a pearl white car. So i will be converting very soon

I would go E85 if it was readily available all over the US. That is the killer for me. I can't simple jump in my car and drive to where ever and not have to worry about gas. 93 is common enough so I stick to that.
