lol, love the frank sinatra at the end!

sounds like a jet engine taking off!!:tup:

Sounds incredible. Solid ride.

Looks like we will be moving to an AEM TRU-Boost set-up in the future. At the Z Nationals dyno competition he tried to adjust back up to 10.5PSI but only got it up to about 8psi. The adjustment on the cheap prosport boost control seems to be hit or miss.... which isnt ideal. The TRU-Boost will allow us to store two different boost settings in the gauge, and we already have the quick map switching set-up via the UpRev software. Should be a whole heck of a lot easier to make sure hes hitting the right target boost.

He still won highest HP 370z/g37 at Z nationals even at only 8PSI! Congrats Dan!

Alex is that video a true simulation of how fast that car would accelerate in 5th gear?

These pulls were done without load in 5th gear. This would be similar to the way a DynoJet performs testing. The pull would be slower on the street due to additional rolling resistance, however the power output would be identical with or without load as far as graphed power goes as long as we weren't applying TOO MUCH load on the car during testing.

As far as our dyno goes we tuned FireDan50 to 496WHP on pump gas on our dyno, he put down 540WHP on pump gas on a DynoJet. Unfortunately he hasnt had an opportunity to compare our race gas results to a DynoJet yet.

Hopefully that answered your question :).

Yeah man! Thanks for the help! Awesome numbers on pump gas even. That's exactly where I want my car to be sitting for numbers on a dynojet

Its a hell of a ride! The Quaife rear diff upgrade really started to shine after the turbo upgrade. Definitely a well rounded build that if you were to replicate yourself you would be thrilled with the end result.

The only thing I'm really concerned of is what kind of fuel system I would need to run that kind of fuel and 2 is running race fuel really a cost effective move instead of just running an e85 tune which is much cheaper and more readily available?

Great questions! The fuel system upgrades weren't really dramatic as it was still a returnless style system with a single DW300 (320LPH) fuel pump. The fuel pump was at its limit, but we also ran out of headroom with the MAF sensors too so this was truly maxed out for the way the car is currently set-up.

We prefer the race fuel due to consistency. Also availability. E85 in our area really has dwindled down to almost nothing. The closest pump to the shop is around 30minutes away. Also getting back to the consistency aspect, to be sold at the pump the fuel must only contain up to 55% ethanol. E85 always gets worse in the winter time and when tuning for real power like 600+WHP on a stock motor, octane inconsistency can make for a quick catastrophic failure. Q16 will make more power than pump e85 in our experience. C85 would be a fantastic fuel to make power as well as it is pretty much e85 on crack.

Due to the returnless style system you end up maxing out your fuel system very easily even with large pump and injectors, as fuel pressure is actually dropping with each PSI of boost versus rising as it would on a traditional factory turbocharged car. Having said that though you really cant expect much more than 600WHP from a single 320LPH fuel pump.

Hope that answered your question somewhat.
