Before: Max = 291.7whp. My only mods were the Stillen cat-back exhaust and the Berk HFCs.

After: Max = 306.4whp.

Net gain = 14.7whp.

DynoJet results, for comparison: Max = 321.3whp

Very nice man, congratulations!

Zof9i6 · 04-01-2009, 10:47 PM

so will the nissan parts dept's regular wheel locks work for the base wheels? if not then does urs work for base? plz lemme know. thanks

import111 · 04-02-2009, 01:14 AM

Any A/F ratio info from before and after the intakes?

Awesome that on a lower reading dyno you hit over 300whp with intake, cat-back, and HFC's.

Thanks for getting all this info out there for everyone.

I have no idea re. the base wheels. If your lug nuts are regular cone tipped then they should work just fine.

Didn't have A/F hooked up.

Awesome.

Going out to have a little fun. (And I confirmed a suspicion I've had about one the 370Z's official specs while I was at it.)

What a bad azz video!! Great job. With the mods you have now compared to stock did it take awhile to get to the question you asked? Or was it Damn already...

MightyBobo · 04-06-2009, 11:18 PM

Menace to society!

Just kidding, Ive done it too...although, not through traffic like that.

Big no no on that mod! Not cool to drive and drool at the same time!

I had the Stillen headers installed yesterday. Here's the link to the full review: Stillen Headers installed - Review/Pics/Vid/Dyno

Here are some pics from the installation. I plan to get the car dyno'd again on Wednesday.

I also made a new vid/sound clip now that I have the complete intake/exhaust setup:

semtex · 04-19-2009, 07:07 PM

Replaced the stock oil drain plug with a magnetic one from Project Kics:

Also drained the diff and trans fluid. Replaced the diff fluid with Redline 75W90, and replaced the trans fluid with Redline MT-90.
