Sadly, no. I arrived at the shop and no one was there! So, Tuesday was a wash.
Unfortunately, I will be out of town for most of the next two weeks (work and Thanksgiving) so my next opportunity to dyno will not be until December!
The good news is that I hope to get the TechnoSquare ECU upgrade by then.
Hate that it will take so long, but I will post dynos when they finally happen...

Hello... dying for the Dyno here... LOLZ...
I'm thinking about going NA mods. How's the gas mileage? Reliability? Did you disconnect the VDC? Does the regularly schedule maintenance change as in you have to maintain more frequently or change what needs to be maintained? Is your warranty gone now?

for those waiting for news... my car must make an appearance on Dec 6th. On Dec 7th, I hope to have ECU pulled to be sent to TechnoSquare (depends on whether they can do it that week). Hoping also for a quick turnaround so I can get the dyno the following weekend. Taking much longer than I expected, but there was a mixup on the first date and I decided to wait until after the ECU upgrade to get a dyno with everything in.
Thus far, my gas mileage has actually improved. Prior to serious mods, I was getting, on average, just under 21mpg. Now I'm getting 21.5mpg
Very reliable. No major issues so far. Just a driveable as before mods, but with more power on tap.
VDC is still active, though I do cut if off frequently!
I think the regularly scheduled maintanence still applies. The new setup is more aggressive, but doesn't change the schedule you should check things. I am now running Mobil 1 oil, though.
I think it is safe to say the warranty on my motor is gone. The rest should still be okay.

just a note to let everyone know we are scheduled for dyno runs this Saturday. Hopefully, I can get them posted before I leave town this weekend.
oh yeah... TechnoSquare ECU was added this week!

Finally some dynos, but they're not pretty. See my new thread here...
https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=53386
Hoping to trouble shoot some things and see some improvement. Updates will be posted to the thread above.
On the plus side, I will soon have a video of the dyno run so folks can hear the car with all my current mods.
