Talking I got my car tuned and it is back with a vengeance!!!!

Here is a mod list of the car, all tuning done via UTEC, and a new tuner, http://www.macellarosperformancetuning.com

I must say Chris stepped up when I was in need big time, he came on short notice and was incredibly knowledgeable to my great satisfaction. He as many will see is an instructor through EFI university and is hands down one of the nicest people I have ever met.

www.dyno4mance.com is where the car was tuned using a 450 lowboy dyno dynamics dyno. Andrew the owner evidently has the lowest reading dyno on earth, he is an evo, sti fanatic, but so kindly opened his doors to the Z world.

To give a comparison between Forged dyno and dyno4mance's, my single turbo made 330 whp at Forged and only 319 on dyno4mance. I know certain factors can attribute to this but the numbers were made within a week of each other.

Anyway with all of that said, mods:
Greddy twin turbo
AAM fuel return system
650 cc injectors
Utec
Turbo XS MBC (Profec B malfunctioned)
SVR tech 3 inch exhaust (big thanks to Scott for making it right)
Jwt clutch/flywheel
And 6.5-7 psi *could have went with 8 but was making power to quick for comfort!!!
Greddy Type RS BOV (absolutely the best sound I have ever heard)
A few other mods that I am forgetting?


I made an uncorrected 360 whp and 370 torque (at 3200 rpms)!!!! We did a shootout to give an approximate dyno jet comparison with SAE correction and it came to 446 whp at a measly 6.5-7 psi and only 9 degrees of timing!!!!

Anyone considering FI, should seriously take the advice Sharif once gave me long long ago, Greddy is the only way to go!!!

I know you guys are going to want to see the graph, but my scanner has taken a poop on me, so here is a fuzzy pic with my camera.


The red is the turbonetics kit.

Yea, that is the reason I stayed at 6.5-7 psi, instead of the originally planned 8 or 9 psi. I got a little spooked.

So you did not "really" make 446rwhp your just using the dynojet correction factor?

Thanks, the car is a monster. When Chris and I road tuned the car, we both just looked at each after a WOT run and said and the same time "no way this car just put down 358."

Take in mind, Chris just started to tune a twin gt35r c6 Z06 corvette, and he told me that in all honesty that that is fastest 358 he has ever experienced.

Not downing your numbers, but that correction factor seems pretty high. I made 415rwhp(8.5 psi) at Forged and I will be lucky to hit 440rwhp on a dynojet.

Rather not say. I believe that Sharif is a very good tuner, though.

NO worries, I didn't go for a number, I just have graphs. I can assure you though, the first opportunity I get, I am going to see how she does on a dynojet.

Take in mind, the 358 had no atmospheric correction applied to it. And the latter did with my request and a 8 % correction factor if I remember correctly. I didn't really car to be honest. I can say with all confidence that the car is hands down transformed permanently!!!!

I understand what you mean. The greddy twins put the car into a different league. Everytime I hit the gas I just smile ear to ear. Take care and be safe with the new found power.

haha, you just couldnt stand that my aps single made more than your TN kit could you?

jk man, good numbers and like doug said be careful, thats scary territory.

that twin gt35r z06, wouldnt happen to be yellow would it, if so thats the one my friend just built here in birmingham, the one i posted pics about, its gonna be a monster, if the motor stays together.

so they have an awd dyno at that shop? if they tune evos.

Could not have said it better!!! Super impressed with the quality, fit and finish. The performance of this particular kit is like no other car I have ever ridden in.

That extra .2 whp did me in, lol

Yes it is the yellow one. Chris really is a talented guy. Last I heard it broke 550 on dyno4mance's dyno and only at 5 psi!!!

It is AWD as well, very cool set up.
