I finally installed Dynamat in the trunk today. I haven't taken it for a drive yet so I don't know how much of a difference it will make but hopefully it was worth it.

Took the Z out for a drive this morning to see if I could notice a difference with the Dynamat now installed. I'm really surprised how much of a difference it makes. It has definitely reduced road noise and I think the Bose subwoofer even sounds a little better.

More work on the Z today. I added Dynamat to both the driver side and passenger side doors.

Nice work, Mr. PedZ,

I also got the car UpRev tuned today at Specialty-Z. My car was running rich on the baseline run so Seb worked his magic and got the AFR between 12.5 and 13. I picked up about 12hp from the tune.

Seb at Specialty-Z was great. He took the time to explain everything. It was a great experience and I highly recommend him.

Here are the maps that I got.

1. 91 Octane Tune
2. Fuel Economy
3. Valet
4. Anti-Theft
5. Factory Tune

Here are my dyno graphs and a pic from the shop.

Added the Z1 hood struts today and also went back to the stock air boxes with K&N drop-ins. The hood struts are nice to have. Not having the annoying hood rod in the way while you work is great.

Those look pretty cool. Mr. PedZ.
