Stillen vs. Smoky: your take on intakes

Josh@STILLEN · 03-25-2010, 09:42 PM

Be sure you allow enough time for the ECU to adapt AWAY from the Gen 3's before you do back to back dynos. If you're not starting from a stock intake setup, just putting something on after the Gen 3's will require 7-8 wot runs to get the ECU to utilizing the new intake. Just as you would from the stock to the Gen 3's..

Thanks, Josh. We'll note that.

Our interest is to perform as unbiased a test as possible. We have Jason Langley, one of the top GT-R Certified technicians anywhere, working on Mothra and administering this test. He's going to make sure nothing biases our results.

This test is specifically for you guys here on the370Z.com. We hope you're as interested as we are in seeing how this comes out!

Awesome, and +1 rep

Question, will the testing area maintain the same temp and humidity during both tests? I note the testing was due to start at 9am.

Interesting, this may explain my dyno numbers. I went from a stock setup straight to.......... with three pulls on the dyno.
