Going home from work yesterday I was at a stop light when a Corvette pulled beside my Z. For some reason he had to rev his engine several times and for a moment I thought I was going to see something out of a You Tube crash compilation video when he took off. Three lanes of traffic, in front and behind.

It was in the shop getting some gashes taken out of the wheels....got too close to the curb when parking . ...Whatever happened to those curb guards they had on cars a few years ago?

I was given a Rogue for the day..exact opposite of the the Z in every way...a really great product for those in the market for that kind of vehicle

Got the car back and the wheels look like new..

I had this done last year and no more than three days later I gashed the wheel driving out of my own garage! Will be more careful this time!

Sweet! Post up some pictures after you installed it.

Did you do before and after dyno for stock/modded comparison? If not, dyno numbers don't really mean a whole lot because of the significantly varying factors such as the individual dyno and weather at the time of the run(s).

I did a dyno after installing intakes and across three runs, it peaked at 283 HP and 231 TQ. However, I have no baseline to compare it to, so it doesn't really help anyone determine gains from the intake. I am getting a tune this weekend, and my tuner is going to do some dyno runs for me. He will do multiple runs with the stock tune and then his EcuTek tune, so accurate comparisons can be made between the two.

I didn't get a chance to dyno it when it was stock, I pulled 279.8whp and 216tq with the mods now, my afr is way off

Well hopefully you can get it all squared away with a tune

It's definitely easier to dyno different tunes (i.e. switch tune map vs parts removal/installation required) so maybe you can do that when the time is right

BlackZ85 · 05-17-2013, 01:08 PM

Waiting on my berk hfc to come and ill probably get a tune soon after that, let me know what your numbers are after tune
