have ran this through 3 oil changes around 9,000 miles and is my DD and have seen no problems at all..
its a smoother pull through the gear less motor vibs..
15 peak whp and i think the lowest gain was at the beging of the pull and it was close to 5whp gain at the lowest rpm

Hey OP, im going to clear this up for you right now. A STOCK Z should not dyno 215 whp. That is pretty low. If you car put that down with your mods, then something is wrong with your engine. Either the oil had 60K miles on it, or something else in your engine was messed up. It was not the oil change that got you 15 whp.

Everything i read with dyno sheets on ********* forum. show Stock 03 runs barly 220-225 whp..on dynojet..sounds like you loosing something in the engine if your got mods and only hitting 215. Im gonna get mine dynoed in the next week or so..ill post it up..but all i have is jwt popcharger and test pipes..so it should still be close to stock..we will see what happens.
