I'm also putting my thanks to the Forged Performance team. Bunch of nice people there (even there quard dog).

I'd like to post my results but my current setup doesn't allow me, so Sharif when you read this could you post for me, file #606075.021. As you'll see I wish I could of got a little better HP #'s. About 35 more on his dyno. But I think I've always had a slight weak motor, but it's always been good to me though (non revup motor). This to me is good enough for now. For this is my first FI kit ever. This way I can learn the ropes. This was a TN kit which got peak HP of 323 and peak TQ of just over 340 and falls off at 4800 rpm. But the car runs smooth and the A/F is great all the way across the board, which is what I really care about.

As Sharif and I discussed the SSV (don't laugh) is probably taking away about 10 HP. I'm probably going to wait on the Cosworth intake soon to come. Post remarks after dyno chart is posted. Thanks.

 

Do you have a AT5 ?

 

No I don't. 6 mt. When I had headers, TP, Exhaust, and JWT pop charger I was only getting on good day 232 HP. But would like to remind everyone that this was on an Dyno Dynamics. I think on an Dyno Jet it be about at 250ish.

 

So you made a 90whp gain with a Turbonetics turbo kit ? Somethings not quite right wouldnt you think ?

 

I don't know what to think. I'm not to concern though. Even TN specs only call for 100 over stock. I'm just going to have to accept that this is what it's going to be for my setup. I have alot of faith in Sharif and if that's what he got then that's the best my car can give out.

 

Keep in mind stock Z's do 210ish whp on his dyno...

 

Glad you are enjoying the new power. I will print/scan the dyno for you on Monday. His car baselined at 226whp with a bunch of NA mods on our dyno so it's a solid 100whp improvement, and 120 ft/lbs trq improvement. As we discussed before, the SSV plenum is robbing a lot of power from your setup. We usually get about 350whp with a setup similar to yours. Add about 10-13% for a simulated "DynoJet" number. I have never been able to generate a power gain with the SSV. We actually loose power with them.

 

I heard you got a smoking deal with this TN kit! ... enjoy the new founded power and be safe.

 

Yes I did. I'm just glad I got it on finely. These last couple months I've been working my butt off and finely got around to it in the last two weeks. Things have slowed down now. Time to spend some time with my son. Thanks for the comments.

 

Congrats on the new setup! I believe I saw your car there when I was picking up my car. Your's was the silver Z with a body kit right? Looked really clean, very nice!

 

Yes it was. Thanks very much.

 

saw you car there as well when i got my tune there , anyways clean looking ride man . you should toss that ssv . and use the stock plenum if you desire for more power . anyways good luck .
little OT hey John how your car running man ?

 

I had 350Hp/380Tq on shairf's dyno w/ my Tn kit. I later dynoed it on a dynoJet and got the exact same numbers. The Dynojet had no correction factor, and I think Sharif's DD is the same.

 

so going from the SSV to the cosworth, are you guys saying you'd gain like 20whp?

 

I dont doubt that at all. It's hard enough to make a comparison...especially when the comparisons are not done on the same day, under the same conditions.

When we did BamBam and Alberto's same day test, there was an easy 10% gain on the DynoJet, when compared to our dyno.

 

I think that is safe to say.

 

Car's running good. I'm running 100 octane race gas since we don't have anything better than 91 pump gas here Car pulls strong and has a very smooth TQ line.

How's your car running? And when are you getting that built engine again?

 

I personally don't like to guess numbers with mods for you never know what they can do, especially when combined with other mods. The SSV ( which everyone who owns one was fooled by the hype Kinetix put out there) defiantly hurts your potential output.

But I think Cosworth has something, for they came into the game late with there intake manifold, they might of found something everyone else over looked.

 

by the end of this year john , it's going to be a mild build with a greddy twin kit . i'm not looking for big numbers just conservative you know .
