Now the questions,
firstly,
I've been planning to add some 'minor' NA mods to my Z. The critera were
- Relatively cheap
- Could fit myself
- Best gains
- Borla TD catback
- Kinetic hiflow cats
- UR Crank pulley
- JWT popcharger
- Kinetix v4 Plenum
Now the questions,
- Should I reset the ECU after I add the mods?
- How long should I wait for the ECU to adjust optimally to the newly added mods?
- What gains do you think I'll achieve?
- An ECU remap is on the cards, but what next?

1 no it will adjust on its own
2 a week or so
3 15whp, maybe a little more
4 headers

That's my setup. 25-30rwhp at peak to redline vs. stock Z's on the same dyno, but not much gained @ low to mid range torque at all (due to the dual exhaust).

Before my Vortech I had Nismo Exhaust, CAI, UR pullies and Grounding kit on a 03 Enthusiest. Dynoed with 2 hp more than an 04 with no mods did right before me? I know my car was faster than stock and would have done the mods again but I can't explain the #'s!

Also agree, 10-15. NA mods on this car really just are not cost effective IMO. The thing loves FI though!
I got to drive a Z with full NA mods including cams and honestly I could not really tell much of a difference from a near stock Z. Just a little extra top end pull with a loss down low from what I think I could feel.

what would your guesses be with this setup?
track model with
jwt popcharger
350Evo throttle body
Crawford plenum
JWT cams
TS ECU
crawford headers
crawford cats
borla exhaust
UR crank pulley
JWT flywheel/Nismo clutch
350Evo 3.917 final drive
think that'll break 300wrhp?
I'm guessing it'll be in the 320 range but maybe i'm optimistic?

I'll probably wait and see what numbers I can put down with that setup
seems like I've seen tons of people posting they had 285rwhp with jwt cams and crawford package, no ecu, no throttle body, no clutch/flywheel, no altered final drive
I'm a little confused about what people say about the clutch/flywheel and final drive.
Some people say it only increases your accelleration, but not top speed which makes sense. Other's say the final drive will give you 10% more rwhp and clutch/flywheel will give x amount of rwhp so which is it? Are they mainly talking about raising the begining of the curve on a dyno chart by that much rwhp?

As for the throttle body and final drive I am not sure. I do know the final drive will definitely put more power to the ground. How much would it show on a dyno if any? I have know idea. I personally would think the throttle body would only give you a few more horses only with a TS ECU reflash.

You can hit 300 with 268s.
It's been done with the Crawford Package.

Final drive and or a lighter flywheel are not really going to increase power, but they will help acceleration. Power is not the only thing that makes a car go fast.
