That test was done on my car!!! It's all stock cept for a JWT popcharger.. Cant wait till i get my baby Z back!

 

Damn, now where do we sign up for that group buy???

 

Do you need longer, aftermarket bolts to secure this?

You need 2 stock gaskets, right?

 

can we still use the stock strut brace???

And also will you ship the product overseas??

cheers,

richie

 

I'm ready to buy but have the same questions.
Price?
Does the stock brace and cover work?

 

I'd like to know the answers to all these questions as well.

 

me too.

Thats amazing, it does seem to good to be true.

 

i thought the crawford made around 8hp, so for this to make 15 is pretty incredible

I might be willing to switch from my crawford if it's worth it, but I'm kinda stuck cause I don't have the stock plenum anymore

guys, stop asking about if the stock strut bar fits - you know it won't
get the crawford strut, or live without a strut bar if you'd rather have the engine cover (bla)

The crawford for sure looks nicer than the stock plenum.

there seems like there'd be more possability for air leaks with the spacer - you'd have to us 2 gaskets I'm assuming

 

We use to stock gaskets for proper sealing (one is regular the other has teh center section removed). The bolts will use an o-ring with mechanical interface type washer for sealing so the o-ring does not warp or distort as much under twisting. The stock strut bar is still being test fit and pricing is still too come. We're working on it as I type this one out.

I can't tell you all how suprised we were at the gains. Its rare to see this type of gain with no hocuss pocuss or "magic snake oils". Please bear with us as we try to get everything in order for additinal testing and the group buy.

We're going to have a Procharger car here this weekend to see how forced induction does with the spacer and without. Now that should be interesting!

 

Like asked b4 what gear were all the dynos done in? crossing fingers for strut bar and engine cover!

 

yes boys and girl...
i am coming down from NYC to get the spacer tested on my car...results should be out by the end of the weekend hopefully if everything goes as planned coming down from NYC today...hopefully nothing stops me or slows me down...im excited as you guys are to see how she does on a FI application.

The dyno runs are done in 4th gear. We are finishing testing to determine the ideal spacing and angle in the spacer for best results. We'll have more dyno information available soon!

Next we'll be testing different combinations on Ben's Supercharged Z.

I'm kinda skeptical of the 15 HP gain. I think I'll wait till one of the guys here dynos.

 

Diesel350....
i am basically one of the guys here...i work with AAM constantly...but as an owner of the car...i know exactley how skeptical you all must be...15whp is alot...i can reassure you...were not yanking your chain or pulling any strings...i stand behind AAM's products and would never doubt the gains. We have an in house DYNO, and my car has been on it numerous times from doing custom tuning on my ECU, to a basic dyno run, and then last but not least tuning the greddy e-manage for my ATI Procharger...but like i was saying...i am a customer just like anyone else...i wouldn't buy it if it didn't prove what it does...we should see results for the F/I crowd by hopefully by close of business tom...

What is the height of the spacer, all the way around?

 

I am also skeptical about he 15 hp increase. On the dyno charts the x axis of the dyno graph measures in MPH and not in RPM. Most dynos I've seen measure sae hp vs. rpm, not sae hp vs. vechile speed(mph). Do you guys have a dyno graph of hp vs. rpm? What kind of dyno was it?

I'm no expert in physics, and I could be missing something. Can someone clearify this difference? My thinking is that if you're measuring hp vs. mph wouldn't intake air velocity come into play as speed increases thus the hp increase?

 

no it just means the rpm wasnt working at the time. Its just another option.

 

ya, with dyno software, you can display the results in many different ways, plotting many different parameters.

 

Were these dynos performed on a completely stock 350Z? I'm sure figures would increase if a true dual exhaust was to be added.

 

Good news....i finally got a ride from NYC...daves coming to get me ill be at the shop tom with my beast, and we will be doing further testing on the plenum on a forced induction application. ill let u all know the results as soon as were finished.
