:tup: If your kit that you make works out, I'd love to hear what you used to piece it together/overall costs. Saving money for the win.

If it works well, I will get it mass produced and sell it through a vendor.

Dumb question, so bear with me. Could the black pillar/license plate holder, be causing air flow interference ? Causing over heating.

If that were true it would be probably the most in-efficient radiator ever produced. :)

Yeah it's not the radiator. I am hesitant to put an big oil cooler in front of it though, because that will have a little bit more of an effect. A pretty good shop around me suggested twin coolers in the bumper, but after what happened to Travis, I'm not sure I want to deal with more oil lines than I need to.

Just got back from the Dyno. It was done on a Mustang Dyno so the numbers didn't surprise me all that much. Did three runs which were all pretty close. 256WHP, 204WTQ.

As a comparison, there was a 350z on the dyno before me with everything you can bolt on to it. Full headerback exhaust, intake plenum, intakes, flywheel, etc. That made 249WHP. So overall I am happy with the numbers.

Videos + graph posted later.

Here are the videos.

BTW this run, we did with the intake filters out and literally just open intakes. It made exactly the same power...so no gains to be had with high flow filters.

I will get a digital pic of the graph and put that up...otherwise prepare for a picture of the graph...

Looking nice. :tup:

Were there any other 370's or did yours get all the googling eyes?

RCZ 03-10-2009 03:23 PM

I got all the googlers. No other Z's so far I've only seen 1 on the road.

cheeseWhizz 03-10-2009 04:09 PM

good work...I enjoy hearing your thoughts on this car before i buy mine. this will help me with my choice down the road.

kustomZ 03-10-2009 04:21 PM

Thanks for posting the tip about the high-flow filters.
