I'd like to know what Dyno cuz i've been seeing some numbers thrown around here that aren't adding up. But if its real, thats damn nice. Im just skeptical until proven that its true that's all. I like evidence. I think it might be possible so i would be curious to see his dyno.

I don't mean to rain on your parade but that isn't possible at 6psi even with the aggressive stock timing. If it is true, I'll give your stock rods one week. Sorry to be a jerk but it's the truth.

Interesting. I happen to have the dyno graph on this setup. The owner of the company forwarded it to me for my review as I am doing a similiar setup. Post your email address if you want to see it.

I have to agree that as Horse Power are pushed higher and higher that internals must be considered, however one major variable to consider is also tuning. I do not consider myself someone who has a tremendous amount of knowledge about cars in general, but I do have the dyno sheets and I am sure that Sam the owner of GT Motorsport can answer alot of questions that people in the forum may have. My intention of placing the thread in the forum was not to brag about the power or what I have put into my car, but to get feed back from forum members and also to direct people to company that are willing to spend the time and effort in doing their job. I will be happy to email you the dyno sheet and also type of dyno that he is running. I am sure Sam will not mind if you call him at GT Motorsport.

Thank you for your feed back

It is 91 octane fuel. Please don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself and go down to GT Motorsport or call SAM. I am really optimistic that Nick's 350z is going to set the same or better number then mine. Because if that happens this will prove that as much as good a combination of "good" parts are necessary that more so, a good tuner is just as or more important.

Nick I am awaiting your results !!!!!
P.S. I saw your white Z this moring and it is VERY VERY Nice

I have an extremely hard time believing this. Charles ran 100+ octane in his 350Z with GReddy TT and HKS F-Con V-Pro and got ~460rwhp. He had no cams and only a few other mods. He was running more boost than you. It just doesn't seem feasible. Honestly, I think the dyno operator has messed around with some settings. If you feel it is fast though, it's money well spent, because that's all that matters.

443 at 6 psi with cams? I believe it.

This guys car was run on a dynojet, where there are no operator values to mess with. The only way they are wrong in what they are saying is if the car was running more boost then they tought, which is not likely since the FCON is map tuned so they are having to tune pressure axis which will always be at the max boost they are hitting.

As for my 100 octane... I wouldnt really consider that into how much power my car made... I ran 100 octane to keep it alive with all the abuse i put it thru, it had nothing to do with the tune, the tune was very conservative and many guys with E-Manage setups are running more timing and leaner A/F then I was back on stock engine... my car could have probably made another 20hp with more agressive tuning at the same boost.... with the FCON you make a lot more power cause the car runs a lot smoother... all these piggyback systems are really hacking up the powerband and im not sure what it is.

So with an extra 3 psi but minus the cams i made 24 more hp... that sounds about right to me... but who knows.. but hey if the customer is happy, the car is fast, and it doesnt blow up... then his original point is valid... it must be a good quality shop!

this is completely off topic, nickgundara, i believe that rh cp-f tune only come in 19x9 and 19x10.5 in the Z. if you did get 9.5 in the front just curious where you found em. thx. (oh and I have the same rims, thats why I am asking cause i beileve they only come in one size specifically deisgned for the Z.)
