Motordyne and Z1 port?

jchammond · 06-22-2016, 02:27 AM

I see you're in Wilmington NC,,,I used to deliver to the Wilson store's years ago.
This is a very SUCK time of year to get good dyno results/unless you had your's dyno'd or tuned in the heat.
Had my ~Z~ dyno-tuned@Z1 in middle of May;after driving 200+ miles & number's were lower than i expected (309rwhp),,,it was lunchtime before they began & temp was warm....I have only a stock plenum for now,so can't speak for the ported one's.
Good luck if you go that route & dyno right before you swap intake & re-dyno to see results.......that's about the best way-pending weather conditions.

I'm still on the fence about the intake, but if I do it I'll do a pre and post dyno of the port. At least I'm imagining switching out the manifolds on this isn't a huge PIA and am willing to do it twice at this point.

JC I completely agree with you on getting a dyno done right now. I still need to do a factory baseline and was gonna wait till the fall, but if I pull the trigger on this sooner, it is what it is. The unfortunate thing is for the validity numbers. If I get it dynoed in the next 3 months it's going to be hot and humid in ways most only see on TV and my baseline and M370 intake will look pretty weak. Then come the fall winter time from when I have the time and cash to pull the intake again and send it down to Z1 the port will look like the greatest mod ever. Also I don't plan on tuning until after all my mods are done, which depending on a lot of factors could still be 2-3 years down the road, so even those numbers will not be the best numbers that those two additions could produce.

I got the M370 in the mail yesterday. I'm gonna make an appointment at a local Dyno for the base line, then get it switched out. It'll be a couple months down the road before I can get the Z1 port done. Unless I can get them to sponsor the build and give me a discount on the job.
