This is the FI forum, wrong section

Numbers are low for an auto, and yes your are leaner than ideal.

bone stock Z should dyno around 228 to 230 Whp.... you need to do a full tune up and you should notice a difference.... your graph looks bad man.... all those spikes and drops... it should be alot more linear... Depending on how many miles you have.... I would run a seafoam treatment to clean out the injectors and your combustion chamber.... replace your plugs with some Denso Irridiums or something equivalent and put the cold air intake on.... just my thoughts.....

Your numbers should be a bit higher for sure. I haven't dyno'd mine since I've only got a pop charger and Nismo exhaust, don't have the mod, maybe because she's an auto...? Anyways, clean up you air filter, change your plugs, and get an exhaust to help it breath better. Other than that maybe a spacer.

thnx for the input.. actually the graph were better, but he pressed on Smoothing "altho it's zero" but the graphs changed to the currently attached.. (btw, i don't know what smoothing does, but i noticed the graphs changed when he pressed on it).

i wasn't shocked at first, cuz i knew that it's not ready for a run, but later i was reading here and there and i noticed that stock Zs get around 225-235 whp. soooo, for sure i'm taking it for service to get things cleaned, and i'll drop in the CAI..

i'm still unaware of "running lean"... what does it mean? how good/bad is it? what can i do about it?

running lean, simply means the air+fuel mixture is not ideal for an NA engine. like you have bad injectors. not enough fuel is getting delivered.
