Just got back from SEMA, and Im seeing this. First off Kelly congrats on getting the car back.

Have a few questions/comments:

Did you get a "baseline" at CPR? If not your 2 dyno's 1 from AAM and 1 being from CPR really arent comparable.

I really would have thought with your upgrades that 400rwhp would have been easy. I know Law's car here (local T-Z) dyno's 390whp on a stock tune and 3 other bolt-ons. But again, kinda stupid to compare when the dyno's are different.

If you didnt get a baseline at CPR, are you planning on going back to AAM for a few pulls to see what the real difference is between before and now? If you do please post #'s with the same correction and smoothing factors.

Nice job on getting it tuned, Im sure its faster/more powerful what I want to know is how much more.

 

Hey the car is in the shop right now, my do luck rear bumper was cracked upon shipment... so now i have to wait to contact intense motorsports and then hopefully soon she will be done. But right now she has no bumpers on.

 

No worries...wanted to see that beast. That Doluck body kit is moving me...I've never been huge on bodykits but that Doluck kit is going to make me change my ways..

 

Lol that kit is just so hott.. I couldn't resist. I was the same way to! But it is a Bi**h to get... they are never in stock and the shipping is so shady... It comes in a big box with no padding the parts are just sitting on each other. Good luck in your future doluck purchase!

 

FOR SURE!!! How much was it for the front and rear bumper?

 

front bumper is like 850, rear is 839, and side skirts are 739 Intense motor sports sells the entire kit with the carbon fiber diffusers for 2399 shipped. Thats the deal I recieved.

 

Hmmm I may pull a mix and match..I live the Greddy side skirts and rear valence since I maybe going with a single exit exhaust. So maybe I'll just get the Doluck front bumper.

 

Sounds good. That would look pretty sweet! Should get someone to photoshop that!

 

Good idea...I'll have to see if someone can...I love that Doluck front bumper!!

 

I want the DoLuck rear! Maybe the sides too (not sure). Been trying to figure out how the rear would look without the sides or with some other sides.

BTW, Mia have you seen the Greddy rear in person? I'm a little hesitant to go that way because it is not a full rear bumper replacement.

 

True.. those lips are not known for perfect fitment, might not come out with a propper finish. I have seen many where the fitment wasn't percise.

 

I've never seen the Greddy rear in person but I couldn't think of any other kit that has a single exit in the rear for the Z. Maybe I'll have to re-think that. I have seen the Greddy sideskirts in person though and they were very nice.

 

All the greddy rears I have seen have had dual exits on them. I know there was an old picture of one with a single exit, but I'm not sure if that was actually in production?

 

Yeah I like the Greddy sides also (and the front too). They do make a single rear but its a half bumper and I'm not sure how good it will look. I've been looking for something for a single exit exhaust also. There isn't much to choose from.
I like the Do-Luck rear with a single but the lip around it creates a small dilemma for me as I really didnt want to do sides skirts.

 

Exactly.....Well maybe I'll call some vendors and see if they can get us pics of the single exit Greddy lip on a car other then Greddy's pic. The doluck bumper is OK to me but I want something that would make a singe exit look like it was meant to be there...The Greddy skirts look BAD@SS in person so I'm sold on those...

 

What bolt-ons does your friend have to get 390? Im interested. Does he have the t-netics kit?

 

AAM plenum spacer, crank pulley, and modified Borla TD if I recall...

EDIT: BTW did you get the stickers yet. Should have been in a manila envelope. Two large white ones and a smaller red one. They left my mail room at least a week ago.

 

Thats correct MIA. I would have thought the T-netics kit with a free flowing exhaust could put down at least better peak hp numbers than a Vortech s/c tuned by the same well known shop. We all know 385 ft/lbs is way more than the Vortechs Im just a little shocked that Sharif and CPR couldnt extract 415-430whp @ 8.5-9.5 psi with this kit.

 

remember thats 390 on a Dyno Dynamics.

 

I dont think anyone has tried to go above 9 PSI. I know peking made 401/418 at 9 PSI. And I think Kelly mentioned he had one thing he needed to take care of that may be affecting boost.
