Thanks for posting all the info. If you wouldn't mind, how much for the install?

You are absolutely right. The car wants to stall so bad everytime I bring it to a stop. I'm currently having a hell of a time finding a dealer who will do the timing advance and idle adjustments for under an hours labor. I know that I'll pull better numbers once the adjustments are done.
I promptly found another dealer who is willing to play ball and was even happy to do so. It did cost me an hour worth of labor though. Go ahead and pay it... you've already spent several thousand $$$$s on the parts, another $75 to get it running smooth is well worth it.
oh... and of course... let us know how you like it with everything tuned right!

It's always better to use actual vs. SAE when doing a back to back dyno to see the gains of a mod on the same day. Altitude and temperature isnt going to change much in that period.

Just wondering how come the torque came out so low? Isn't the higher the torque, the better you are off with it? Shouldn't it be some what close to the rwhp? I'm kind of new to this reading the Dyno chart, So, kind of trying to figure out what's better for the Z? Any info would be great, thanks.
