just wondering what numbers i should expect to see with my mods (in sig) when i go on a mustang dyno next week.
thanks

you won't see much.... maybe 8 or 10 RWHP. Did you do a baseline dyno run before making the mods? If not, there's no way to tell what improvements you realized from the modifications.

 

no i didn't do a baseline..... you think i'd only pick up 8-10 with an apexi cat back, kenetix plenum, and the injen cai?
i was hoping for a little more than that

 

i remember the good old days in the rx7 when you slap on an intake ,downpipe , catback and pick up close to 50 hp

 

ya well zs dont have a turbo...na tuning cost lots of money for little gains, with that said though slap a turbo on the z and watch those numbers skyrocket. greddy kit is supposedly good to about 700whp with a built block. something difficult to do on a 7, reliably.

btw is it a 2nd gen or 3rd gen that you own?

 

3rd gen
apexi intakes
hks downpipe mild steel
greddy evo exhaust
apexi front mount for twins
apexi power fc
blitz dsbc

 

3rd gen

and i actually just got rid of it
it was aproaching 40000 miles

 

The VQ35 is already highly tuned from the factory to make its 287hp/274tq numbers... adding a little more breathing doesn't do all that much for it...

I gained 11 rwhp and 12 lb-ft with NISMO intake, Crawford plenum, NISMO headers and Borla TD (with cat pipes, I lost 4rwhp at peak but gained almost 10 lb-ft across a wide rpm range)

To really take better advantage of the mods, look into getting an ECU reflash from Technosquare. From what I undersand, they have different maps for different combinations of mods, so they can match an ECU program to your mods. That will get you smoe more power.

Or, get a supercharger!

also... take those 19" wheels off the car and run the OEM wheels... you are losing power trying to turn those wheels

 

thanks for the advice

 

40000 miles is nothing, i just had mine rebuilt at 98,000

 

did you rebuild it yourself? did you switch to thicker seals? titanium rotors?

 

My car with just a frankencar intake gained 5 hp and 7 lbs of torque. I have the dyno to prove it.

Im also a automatic with just a intake i had 240 hp and 225 torque.

I know for a fact with my injen ses exhaust, underdrive pulley, and grounding kit i will have more. I believe this because i can feel the gains while driving.
