Hey guys just to keep everyone updated i just got back from vegas.. turns out when i went to go dyno at AFE their guys reschedualed with me due to some time issues. all is good and we schedualed for wednesday. I just want to appologize to everyone for not giving them the time to dyno right after another just had lots of stuff to do this month. I am very avid in the sport just during work hours im strapped. Hey also Jason@performance you are living in Rancho now? How about meeting up for dinner with couple other Z guys and check this out for yourself?? im down for anything after 5....

Nothing personal nissansource but, this test , i believe, is null and void now. There are way too many variables that play into this considering the amount of time past. As busy as you are you should not have volunteered to be the test subject. I don't think anyone on this board will believe anything the test results show due to the time lapse, lack of follow through and the test has been conducted by the manufacturer. Like i said, it's nothing personal it's just we (members) were looking for a test subject more readily available. I think i'm speaking for the majority here?

Agreed. We appreciate what nissansource has tried to do but this is ridiculous. Its been wayyy too long in between dynos. It shouldnt be this complicated. it seems like AFE has disappeared anyway. No posts from them in 2 weeks. Either give one to Jason and do a completely independent dyno or no one will believe anything anyway now.

How's it going DayblueZ?
JWT popcharger... in-expensive, proven, sounds and looks superb. Just look at the size of the cone, plenty of room to grow (HP/TQ upgrades). Want colder? get a new front fascia with an "intake hole" I guess, should atleast seem colder, in theory o.O

How does the time being a week over due hurt results? a dyno is a dyno and results will be noticed if they where tampared with. I did my own dyno on my own time with the intake... it was a warm day and it showed improvement on the car. i hit AFE on wednesday and dyno on the mustang dyno they overlay my stock graph and the intake graph and we are done. How does this void???? If jason wants hell lets rip this off and lets get the intake on his car it really doesnt matter to me what car we tests on, We used mine since it was as stock as they come and if he as access to a dyno today lets rock the dyno today? I understand im new to the Z community but I am pretty avid in the nissan area. I do understand having jason test might have been better for a known voiced opinion but my car has never felt the way it feels now. This intake weather it is 5+hp or 15+ it works just a bit pricey. I offered my car to the community and to afe since i was local and had time at the given date to do the tests. One other time killer was the damn predrive 100-200 mile duty i had to do. Anyway does jason work at performance still? hell ill take him out to lunch today and let him drive if need be... lets do a butt dyno test. Jason availible for lunch?

I mean its still the same dyno and same car, what will be different is ambient temprature, temprature of engine components, and any changes to the dyno itself from the past week or two (no idea how much that affects the results).
