I vote the Mods run an enema through the thread to clean out all the BS that was spewed.

Hey all just a quick update. My car has been tuned and my results were not as high as I wanted so they tuned the VVEL. I will get my car delivered here in the next hour or so. I will keep you posted. They even have DYNO runs before and after they played with the VVEL. They say it adds about 15whp in the mid range but at the top only 5 HP gain.

when I saw that +15whp at mid-range I was kind of quite happy with the result until I saw in your signature that you had a SC...

im wondering how much it would have been in N/A form...

anyway that +15whp at mid-range is still good !

The car feels good and I am very happy. I won't get DYNO's until Monday. Sorry you have to wait.

I don't care so much about gains as responsiveness.

I don't know how to answer that about responsiveness due to the fact I have not driven my car in 6 months then took it to the shop to get some parts put on. If anyone with an SC Z would like a ride and then they could judge.

Very cool.

See if you can get some details such as where valve overlap was changed and where lift was changed in the rev range.

Also, are these bolt-on modded Z's or bone stock? Breathing and exhaust mods will almost certainly make a difference.
