I made 5.5rwhp with my JWT for $85 (dyno in my sig). What'd you make with your $300 Injen CAI?

I don't think so, they seem pretty good, depending on where you go. I went to MRC and did 260whp stock, 265.5whp with the Popcharger. A guy I know in VA on a Dynojet with a bunch of mods did 268whp. We were in St. Louis for a Prelude event and did a dyno day and I dyno'd 243whp to his 245whp back to back, so I'd say they are pretty accurate.

dynojet SAE corrected are the only numbers we care about. thanks..


if chichi was to get on a dynojet, his 314 would become high 260s to low 270s really fast.

I sorta doubt that

People with all or most bolt ons make 260-270. He has all the bolt ons with camshafts and tuned.

Are these bolt-on safe for a daily driven Z? Does anyone know the whp that you get from crawford headers? I know the nismo is around 13 whp.

ok, you have to remember that as you do more breathing mods, the less gains you will get. say youll get 6 horses from a pop charger and 13 from a exhaust. (just an example) thats separeate, doing them together only may yeild 14. plus you might loose hp cause now your running lean. so you just have to do this, start modding, do something here, something there and keep going until you hit a number you like or you run out of cash. hell, you might end up saying **** it and going fi like so many others that said"im staying na" including myself. if you try to add it all up and put it on a dyno, you will only be very disapointed

Dynojets are just as susceptable to false numbers as any other type of dyno. You can believe whatever you want. Comparing any dyno's, unless done back-to-back on the same dyno, is pointless anyway. They should really only be used as a tool to measure your cars own progress.

And who's we? Are you speaking on behalf of the entire Z community...?
