I say: Screw what we say. Go out and hammer your car and enjoy the **** out of it...


I STILL HATE YOU!!!



Can't wait to get mine...
(APS TT Kit - APS TD Exhaust)

Your car may have had the highest stock block #'s.
My friend(has a PE TT 350Z) & I will cruise up there when we're done with our builds.
I'd like to contribute to the Z community,but I have a G35.

just FYI...a stock block APS TT Z made 511rwhp on 12psi...

I am sure he is going to have awsome numbers but we will have to wait and see. There was obviously something wrong when you get a reading of 838 ft/lbs. Only time will tell.

ok..that makes sense..we'll just have to see what numbers his car makes on another dyno. My money is well over 400whp though

I was responding to him saying he made the most power at Brainstorm.
Brainstorm tuned the 540whp built TT350Z in Dsport mag.

Blueberry or cherry?

Hey guys,

I'll try to shed some light on our dyno, but it's a little weird. Basically our dyno has two different options:

You can read from the wheels, or you can read from the engine with a calculated drivetrain loss. In most cases on our dyno, our horsepower numbers at the engine with drivetrain correction ON have seemed to be the most accurate and consistent when compared to say...a Dynojet.

Either way, we try to focus on our dynos strongest point, which is tuning. Since it is a load based dyno it is a lot more accurate for tuning. For reading horsepower, I would recommend using a Dynojet. I have already mentioned to mrtomcat that we would like to use his car and take it to do some power runs on a Dynojet, for comparison.

Please understand that all dynos are different, have strong points and weak points, and read differently from eachother. To some people, all that matters is dyno numbers. To other all that matters is timeslips from your local strip. To some all that matters is the good ol' butt dyno. In the end, as long as the customer is happy with the way their car performs, we can be happy and we are very satisfied with the results that mrtomcat's car ended up with.
