As a little comment, from what i've seen on jeffie's dyno there's nothing indicating that Dyno Dynamics read significantly lower then other dyno's so I think the speculation is taken from peope who post Dynojet #s w/ STD or SAE Correction factors then compare them to DD w/ uncorrected

Congrats on the very good numbers and tune from F.T.

It would have been cool to see a boost curve on the dyno sheet. That's one of my favorite features of dyno dynamics dynos.

I believe the main thing that makes a difference is Dave always tunes a car at full temp, My car was running for a good hour or so on the dyno before that last dyno chart was taken.

Says a lot of power can be had from running a car that's warm VS hot even more so on a cooler day, it was around 80 that day.

Either way, I want to dyno it else where just for ghits and ciggles.

Intense should be happy, a lot of people were asking about it at the CP meet, and people really liked the PL kit.

No doubt the car got a lot of attention.

So Jeffie.... now that the kit is installed and you get your first hits of boost in your Z.... do you think you'll be making some other performance upgrades down the road?

I really need to do some brakes. coming down from 140 to 60, (not that I'd do such a thing) the brakes end up feeling warped and soft. I've always known this from doing some backroad runs.

While they still work fine, if I were to ever get on it 2-3 times in a row, they would be useless

I might just switch out my rotors to an after market rotor and replace my brake lines. I already have hawk pads. I think that would give me more then enough stopping power for street use, however, it would not offer the same bling factor as a BBK

If anyone wants to donate a BBK on a car that will get a lot of coverage, let me know, if not. I'm really not worried about it. If new rotors/lines fix the problem, I'll be happy.

Hell yes Jeff and i told you you would be there a long time but Dave does it right.I wish i could have seen you at the CPT meet but i went to the IOT meet first.
You now whats funny is seeing somebody elses car on that dyno as mine seems to be on it to much.
Btw Dave has a dyno dynamics dyno which he uses no correction factors at all so the #s may look low but on a different dyno they will be higher.

First of all, great job on the entire car. It looks amazing. 2nd Can this kit be mounted with a duel exhaust? From some of the underside pics it looks as though it can. Where do you get these kits from and do you have to use the Utec?, or do they sell it without it? Thanks

Anytime you have a single turbo, your exhaust flows through the turbo and comes out of the turbo so that means 1 in and 1 out, so no true duel exhaust, however you could run the waste gate out one side and the turbo down pipe out the other, but that would be sorta weird.

for info on the kit check out
