damn Mike good ****!

Just want to let you know that car made our day today. We squeezed as much as we could out of it. Thanks for the opportunity once again Mike!

That's saying quite a bit

Mike · 11-01-2012, 06:05 PM

The secret is in the headers, I think. Momentum VQ35DE headers. I think Z1 has 4 sets left.

wstar · 11-01-2012, 06:34 PM

So was it more the VVEL play or the headers? Better design than e.g. FI?

I think mostly the headers. Z1 car is at 330 with them also. I was at 330 before they started tuning today

Congrats Mike! Lighter, Stonger, and Faster!! My weak 302hp may look for some headers then!!

Mike · 11-02-2012, 08:37 AM

btw, Momentum is no longer in business, but Z1 is developing their own version of this header, specifically for the 370. They should have a package available soon.

Amazing gains, congrats! Are any additional modifications required to get 350z headers and test pipes to fit on a 370?

no, just the test pipes or hfc's from the 350

very nice mike, ur car sounded amazing at znats! these headers are very intriguing.... what kind of gains do u think u got from getting rid of the old exhaust and going with the straight exhaust with glass packs?

Mike · 11-26-2012, 08:24 AM

you know, I'm not sure. I never dyno'd it, the exhaust change was made purely to accomodate the diff cooler and was at the time, planned only as an intermediate fix. But now, I don't want to change anything else! although I may add another pair of glasspacks inline somewhere to quiet it a tiny bit more.
