Nissan 370Z Forum  

I need your dynos and tuning info!

Doesn't a 12 WHP gain from all those mods alarm you, even though untuned?

I was hoping to be over 300hp. On a different dnyo. I could be. Who knows? The dyno that I used is known to read low. By how much? Don't know. When I get it tuned, and use a different dyno. We'll see.

Absolute numbers on a single dyno are meaningless, so don't sweat whether you broke 300 or not. Tune on a Mustang or a Dyno Dynamics, the numbers will be even lower but they will be able to tune more effectively.

Not bad at all for a Mustang dyno.

I'm saying the delta WHP gains of 12 is terribly low regardless of what dyno you used. Assuming you used the same dyno both times.

I did. The first dyno run was done in January. The outside temp was about 30deg. This last run was done this month. Outside temp was high 90's. I don't know how much correction he used. I'm kind of on the differance. I thought there would be more. BUT, it sounds good. LOL

The car tunes itself pretty well for loaded WOT so huge gains on a load based dyno are not common unless your tune was pretty f'd up. The big improvements come in driveability and partial throttle driving.

I myself made a big fat zero after being tuned by Kaizen, but the car drove so much better so I was happy.
