What's the best way to go about getting her tuned after I get the intakes on? I'm still somewhat new to moding cars. I thought you generally had to do a fair amount of mods before you needed to worry about having it tuned?
I was at the track all day running 13.4's consistently. I think I had one run that was a 13.5 due a miss shift. But I'd love to see what I do after the intake and a tune!

Tuning isn't available yet since the car is so new..

You will see gains right away after you install the intakes. It will take a little while before you max out the gains as the ECU adjusts to the new bits.

A tune will always help, even if you are completely stock, there is power to be made from a simple tune.

Have you looked at the rest of the stillen bits? One of the forum members, Semtex, is already making over 300RWHP (on a DynoDynamics) with the intakes and the stillen exhaust. Thats without the headers too.

Well... you can always have a custom tune done. Why would you have to wait for a custom tune??

There are no tools yet to do the tuning with. Tuners like UpRev are developing their Osiris for the 370Z... Its not that you can't get custom tuned, its that there isnt any software to do it with yet.

Yea with all the great things I'm seeing from stillen I'm thinking I'll most likely go all stillen as I continue to work on my car.

I'm just going after my intake right now and holding out on exhaust headers and high flow cat till sometime after I move back to Texas this summer! As for now an intake in this car is enough for me out here in NC. Not much to compete with. I still haven't even seen another 370 in my area since they came out. There is a nice white GTR out here tho! We were running each other Friday night. Talk about an awesome race to watch! I took him on the 60 ft but he just raped me after that! Made for a great show to watch tho!

I'm really looking forward to seeing what I'll be able to do in another year or so!

i have the G3's too, do you know a better way to have them get air flow?

dad honestly I read that earlier and I think their results are crap. They didn't want their tune to look so pointless making 5hp....

Josh@STILLEN 05-12-2009 09:38 PM

Not to mention another car (KillerBee) done at the same facility, same dyno shows gains of 40whp with the HFCs and CBE.. posted on their own forum?

Somethings not right..

Precisely! My post is nothing but FYI, for everyone and anyone. I in no way, am disputing the product , nor it's results! I think it's fair and honest to say that 7 out of 10 will buy and install it.

Guys, discussion on this "Dyno Thrash" here -> http://www.the370z.com/engine-drivet...arts-dyno.html

And it seems that at least one person is suggesting that those of us who have posted larger gains are "inflating" our numbers on the basis of this article. :shakes head:

smartbomb 05-13-2009 03:06 PM

The difference is conservative dyno testing and reporting vs cherry picking dyno runs for internet forum bragging rights. We are 370z.com, not Technosquare and we reported the results that were obtained in an objective way that others should be able to obtain. The gains are real and significant. The results are professional and should be repeatable, not cherry picked results done by someone who is trying to gain notice on a forum or look good on Utube. We went into the test methodology in detail in the article.

Anyone who is experiance with dyno testing and tuning know that if you try, you can produce runs that make significantly more power if you condition the car to make such a run. We strive for finding what a car will actualy do most of the time.
