I know u disagreed with me, saying my statement wasnt fair, and the test car is having problems - but dyno'ing a year apart is a problem within itself. if it was any manufacturer saying their product did XXXXX on this dyno and then a year later the results were XXX, everyone would jump on them. if you know the car has problems - that is your solution to this dilemma right off the bat...

All i meant is that I wish you had better results, but allowing the car to breath better via ported throttle bodies, upper intake manifold and intakes/exhaust seems comparable across the board, per your results vs. everyone elses results with basic bolt ons, whether you get it done custom or buy another product already on the market. without FI the car, the car is already performing like a champ so the breather mods arent game changers without FI.

props to all your effort, i just meant i wish you had better results for everything that went into it.

Good thing I built it all my own. I have less in everything than most spend on a CBE.

I don't know about that though. Whats FI get the average person? I've seen people talk about $15k to do it right!! If I truly gained only 30hp from stock then I have $73 per HP (I really doubt it. Should be like 60hp so $36 per). If a FI gets say 500HP and a max NA can only get 300HP and if FI costs $15k then FI is $75 per HP over NA. But in my case we are talking $12,800 difference.

I don't know the car has problems. Everything I see seems fine. I ported some stuff, I made a little bigger CAI, I tuned. The issue shouldn't be on my end. If it is we'll fix soon. Only testing further will I find out. If IPS changed the dyno then I'll prove my ported parts work by installing them on another car and doing befores and afters the same day to show it. Sucks to do it this way but o well.

I bought my Z to track. I was tired of tuning my WRX and dealing with turbos and pipe and BOV's etc etc. I'd rather drive a 300HP NA all day than a 500HP turbo. Hell I can't even touch the throttle now around a corner, a turbo would kill me. Turboing a Z reminds me racing my super sport ZX6R. My little 600 can kill 1000's because most can't run them to their full potential. NA FTW haha. Give me Shamu's 400HP NA Z. I'll rock that.
