Solo, the only thing you could add are headers. But that will barely put you at 300.

I agree that anything over that is just a happy dyno.

Yes Solo,

We all know how YOU THINK your car is the greatest.
How its faster,lighter,better,nicer than a 370z,yada yada yada etc. etc.

yes they are different dynos,i know that......

but what i want to know is what makes the DYNOJET the Master of all Dynos...

Well Im going to Tune my car hopefully this Monday at Specialty z With Sebastian.

Which he has a DynoJet.....

Mods:
Xo2 with Magnaflow X pipe
F.I. Resonated Test Pipes
Fujita Intakes

im a little sceptical about the Fujitas but im just going to see if it is even worth switching to Injens.....i might just put the KN filters (stock Boxes ) Back on..

Well see

Out of all the dynos the DynoJet is the most accurate and the numbers can't be skewed like other dynos. And how the fk does my post say oh my car is greatest, and all that? Get a fking life kid.

My car is faster than a 370z. Hint I said MY CAR.

Well I will say right now that you won't gain crap from those intakes as that has been proven. The only ones that showed gains are the Injen CAI's.

Not to take away from any power that anyone claims, but the above is not true. A dynojet is not the most accurate - it's just the most accepted because they are the most common. Nothing wrong with them at all btw, they work well - like all other dynos do.

A dyno is a tool - it is not gospel, it is not an indisputable truth, it is simply a comparitive snapshot of the car at that point in time. There is no one dyno that is more accurate as far as peak power is concerned, than another. Any of them have a variety of variables that can be manipulated by the operator Any one of 'em, regardless of brand. The dyno is relative unto itself, that is it. That is why when doing a build, keeping the car on the same dyno, at the same shop, regardless of what kind of dyno that shop uses, is the preferred method, as you get a good gauge of your relative gains or losses compared to previous runs. The key word being relative. If your car stock makes 100 whp, and after mods, your car on that dyno makes 150whp, it does not mean the car has 150whp, nor does it mean you gained 50whp with your mods. What it does mean is that the mods you did netted you a substantial, significant gain, and that is what is important. Comparing dyno x at one location, vs dyno x at a different location is nice for ***** and giggles, but it's virtually useless as far as any sort of quantitative data. Unless you know for a fact that the 2 dynos have been calibrated by the owners to read similarly (many shops in a given area will do this). Comparing dyno x to dyno y is just as useless. Still fun to look at, but hard to draw real comparitive data.

Your car isn't faster than a 370.

your car is faster than the specific 370 you raced at the drag strip with a crappy driver...

Even according to the manufacturer, a stock 370 isn't that much better than a stock 350... Based on what he shows there, there's no reason SOLO's car couldn't be faster than a 370. I mean, unless you guys all hang out and race on a daily basis (New York, Delaware, California, Washington, and Texas?) I don't know how you could know that what he says about his car isn't true... C'mon guys, 293 at the WHEELS? That would destroy a 370.

Also, I gotta take Adam's side- there's no reason to favor DynoJet over others. It's just media hype. As long as you tune on the same dyno every time... you're looking for comparisons, not concrete numbers.

That's funny. Ran two so far, and left them pretty bad. Were you there? Didn't think so. I put down way more power than they do and about the same weight.

So you are denying that a car that dynos 293rwhp in 100+ degree heat, vs a 370z that is in the 270-280 range normally on a DJ is not faster? Get a life.

What are you using ricer logic?

Exactly with a mid-range that is much large than a 370z due to my tune and mods. Just Peak I went from 261rwhp with just K&N panels to 293 currently.

But if one did the same mods to the 370Z as you have, it would make more power than yours......

and so what honestly lolol

Going back and forth on the net about who's car is faster than who's, is a bit like pissing into oncoming wind

We get it, you like your car - we all like our cars.

Nah I wasn't there but I wish I could have been there to see you "leave him pretty bad." Let me know when you race one with a good driver, I'll try to make it.

while i agree with everything you said here, when compared to other dyno's, dynojets are the most comparable to each other from one dyno to another. its also the hardest to manipulate numbers on a dynojet than on other dyno.

it's not hard to manipulate the #'s at all actually - I've watched it done, but we'll just agree to disagree
