I doubt our driveway/street could handle an army of Z's rolling in.

As long as you're ok with eating the cost of the room/late cancellation fee if you decide not to take it, that's fine with me.

Ok, in that case then I don't want anything to be out of your pocket, so you can cancel the one you might have for me. Worst comes to worst, I'll just get one that night that won't be in the group section.

Guys...the Z will not be ready for Carlisle at this point. I had to make other things a priority. Work is still progressing however.

Yeah I will still be going may even still enter the Z. I'll be looking more at July/August for a completion.

Just so I remember correctly, you're doing a Single Turbo, Top mount kit correct?

Cause you're not keeping your headers right?

Correct. If you know anyone local who wants my exhaust or headers please let me know.

dmhenderson · 04-01-2013, 08:56 PM

I've been told the functional benefit/gains I'd see from headers would be very small too. Just not cost effective.

Spend $1500 to buy/install a part to net 2-3 whp.

Do you have HFCS now? With tune it'd be more like 5-10

dmhenderson · 04-01-2013, 09:04 PM

Unfortunately, I'm not a mechanic and would have to pay someone a ton to install them

XwChriswX · 04-01-2013, 09:05 PM

Cody, have you had yours tuned yet? Curious what gains you did get?

dmhenderson · 04-01-2013, 09:17 PM

Me? Well I had the stock Nismo tune. The dealership installed my Stillen G3 intake and then I had it re-tuned once the exhaust and HFCs went on.

Here are the results:

Edit: Oh wait, NM you said Cody.

XwChriswX · 04-01-2013, 09:19 PM

That dip right in the middle of the page... I wonder what causes that, it's under 5200rpms so its right in the middle of the powerband... Interesting.

VVEL kicking in?? Or that must be where the stock systems restriction started to block flow?

dmhenderson · 04-01-2013, 09:21 PM

Beats me. That dip was in every pull they ran though. Vanished with the cats/exhaust on the car vOv

Then it's something potentially with flow maybe? It's odd that it does it stock, but not aftermarket, and it affects both power/torque... And it's such a short spike, it's not an extended problem cause it goes back up afterwards...
