I got my car back today from Z car garage in san jose. They did what I thought was a simple dc header, berk cats, 600cc dw, walbro, 2.87 pulley, and uprev tune. I had a nismo exhaust and a vortech kit. I was hoping to get maybe 380-390whp at best(All i have is 91 to work with). Well to my surprise the car baselines at 377whp! I start thinking "maybe I have bit off more than I can chew." A week later I pick up the car(today). I find out the car made 433whp, tuned down from 447whp because he didnt think it was safe for what I had.

So my question is, what the hell is going on here? I bought my car from a used car lot who didnt really know to much about the car. I got it for a great price, kinda took a gamble but knew the owner was a wealthy man named dallas raines who does the weather in LA. I figured he had the coin to treat the car well. If anyone knows him maybe they could ask him what is on my car? From what I can tell he also owned a 03Z with similar mods as in my sig.

Does anyone have any speculations as to what else could possibly be on my car? Im thinking possibly cams? Its not a Ttrim. I think its just to much extra hp for it to be a freak.

yes the dyno is SAE corrected

 

Church's Dyno?

 

rob at z car garages

 

I make 418 with a DE and a 2.87, don't think 433 is crazy but you seem to be on the high end. How much boost are you making with a 2.87 on the rev up kit?

 

I havent got a good look yet at my boost. I will post when I find out. I would agree, however the 2.87 on a revup is the equivalent of a 3.12 on a non revup.

 

Nice numbers I would like to know how much boost as well.

 

Seriously Dallas Raines???? That's some weather man on channel 5 I think in LA with a bad fake tan LOL

 

The pic says it all... WHP WIN!

 

Congrats!! The numbers are great, but they ain't to crazy. Typically the 2.87 pulley cars we end up tuning make around 430ish pretty regularly.

 

Nice numbers. You may have Nismo cams in there, but who knows. Could just be a freak motor as they say.

 

i dont think those numbers are far fetched. its just a number from a dyno anyways. congrats.

 

normal dyno

 

Lol yea wouldnt ever know he was into Zs. Mine isnt his first one either http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/...em.php?gik=236 . This isnt mine but mine is almost identical except its silver with silver rims.


So yea I guess its just a high normal dyno then. Either way im happy with the results. Thanks for your inputs guys.

 

hopefully you can run it at the track and back up that dyno number with an appropriate trap

 

Is you car an MT or AT?

If AT , def impressive results as the ATs loos a few %.

 

I hope so. Me and my friends are planing on going in the next couple months. They need to get their cars ready and I need a oil cooler.

Its a manual.

 

I did a couple runs today. Highest I was seeing was 9psi

 

looks good..


congrats with the results

how does it feel?

 

433 is fine, Im making 410 with 3.13 9lbs
no restriction = better results

 

Only 9psi with the 2.87? I was thinking it would be more than that, especially for those numbers you put down. My non-rev-up with the normal 3.33 pulley is making 9.5psi.
