Great news! Rob is gonna make you crap your pants on the test drive (bring some depends). Can't wait to see how your car turns out. Actually never mind they always turn out well, don't enjoy the car too much and forget to update this thread.

Yes, he drives like a mad man! He picked me up in his 300ZX TT today from the station and it freaking flies! He had me on the edge of my seat but I did enjoy his driving! I had to check my pants afterwards. He told me about the time he had this guy holding onto the door handle for his dear life, lol.

I just got the graph email to me. Although, I knew the numbers earlier I didn’t want to post until I had the graph.

He tuned with the 3.12 and 3.33 pulley and he said the 3.33 was safer for the car. The car pulls 12psi at redline. He also had to detune the 3.33 tune to keep it safe, it would have pulled a bit more.

For now I'm extremely happy with the outcome! ZCG did an awesome job!

Nice. The drive home must have been night and day. You gained almost 190hp.

Our graphs look very similar...except you're on the Si with a bit more boost. I'm on the SCi with 1-2 psi less boost. Rob had to pull back timing on mine too, but much more severe than he did on yours.

Here is the base run with 3.12 dyno run, pulled almost 14psi @ redline. Less hp but more torque. Didnt even bother to tune it since it was to much. I wonder what it would have done if he did?

So, you made 431 HP and 363TQ at about 6400 RPM with a 3.33 pulley? Nice numbers, this excites me because with my motor, I might make 500hp with just a 3.13 pulley at 7000 RPM!

How does the power feel? What are the weak spots you have noticed?

A 360 turn around from stock. It was one exhilarating ride home! Your chart looks great.. almost identical! I can imagine on a 3.12 pulley what the SI wheel would do!

The power is great through out the whole band. I havent had it long enough to really keen in on any weak spots.

I actually made 445hp and 369tq with the 3.33 and SI wheel upgrade. Rob detuned it to 431/363 pulled alot of timing. This was the lowest he could get detuning the 3.33. I honeslty think I would have been near 475hp and 400tq with the 3.12 pulley but this is way to much for my stock block.

I also believe you will hit the 500 mark with your engine. Goodlucj with your build and keep us posted!

I'm going to go enjoy a night drive

I think our stock block is perfectly capable of 475hp/400tq with a Vortech. Torque is what breaks our rods. A supercharger comes on more linear than a turbo and turbos hold up well on our cars up to 400tq.

Our problem is 91 octane. If your car was tuned for 100, C16, E85, or meth, you would last years at 475hp/400tq on your stock block.

Do you know how much of your injectors each of you were using?
