I was comparing it to my older car. a certain 4 door, 2 liter japanese car which I wont mention to appease the sensitive 370 owners here

with just hks bolt-ons (suction, bov, hi-power and turbo outlet) it was already pulling 290 whp and 260 tq (on the same dyno I used to rate my Z). With tuning it's now up to 310 whp and 270 tq. too bad I'm letting go of it cause I love driving my Z.

I'll re-dyno my Z again in the future and see if my bolt-ons will make a difference. I doubt it will make 15 whp more tho and tuning seems to be more complicated than just ecuflash.

Bolt ons have gotten much better results than 15 hp so far. Some have gotten 15 hp by just changing to HFC's. HFC's, Catback and cold air intake should take you to at least a 25 to 35 hp gain if not more.

if HFCs gave nice results, how about catdeletes/test pipes? I assume atleast similar or even more? the downside is that I have to leave my car at the shop for at least 2 days for a catdelete.

thanks for the info, btw.
