Does anyone know if this is a good estimate ?

I raced a buddy of mine who owns a modded Evo 8 and we were dead even pretty much. He got his car dyno'd on a dyno dynamics and dyno'd 278whp. Does that mean I have around the same whp ? Is that a half *** way of getting an estimate. There is no driver mod because we are pretty even in that field.

Lots of factors come into play, power to weight being the most significant. Then you have gearing, tires, RWD vs AWD, shifting etc..

Of course by racing you meant on the track

No, you can't equate the hp that way. A Lotus Elise SC may smoke our 370Z and it has under 300hp. Power to weight ratio is a better way to compare the cars.

How is everyone getting their bolt-ons tuned ? Is it just dyno and wide band O2 ?

Tony should be able to answer this

havent tuned mine yet...holding out to see what cobbs is going to release for the 370z as far as maps go...

B1nks · 09-09-2009, 02:05 PM

getting my baseline done on Sat and installing on sat with the HFC. Will go back for another dyno at a later date(monday at the earlist) and it will all be done on a dyno jet. Seeing as how Houston weather is pretty consistent it shouldn't differ greatly getting it done 2 days apart because both days will be hot and crappy.

theDreamer · 09-09-2009, 02:07 PM

What shop in Houston are you using?

XwChriswX · 09-09-2009, 02:10 PM

You guys only do install's right, no dyno at your shop?

I was gonna use Engine Logics but when I called they were pretty short with answers(the lady answering the phone was anyways). I remembered seeing on Carboys' website that they had a dyno and called them up becuase they did my KW V3 install on my 350z and did an EXCELLENT job and the car came back very clean and they were very professional. So I'm going to them for it. They have a dyno jet and Engine Logics has a DD(which I was kinda hoping to use) but it doesn't really matter.

Just FYI, I've brought my Z to both of these shops. Yes, the EngineLogics guys have a pretty busy schedule and perhaps not the best attitude (like as in: "what, you want us to sell you something? hmm, let me see if we have time... no"), but the DD dyno there is awesome, and the techs there seem pretty knowledgeable. The DynoJet at Carboy reads low and very erratically from run to run and day to day by comparison. I think it's in need of some maintenance, or calibration, or perhaps more consistency in how they strap the cars down, etc. The Carboy guys are really nice though, and it's a fun place to hang out at and talk car stuff
