first get a dyno run to actually see if ur getting a burp somewhere in the RPM range.. UTEC will do quite a bit of difference.. i just got a dyno on my car today it was at 260whp w/o utec and with the base map it was almost 275ish or 270..forget. The map was pretty crappy and it was running real rich...like 10s.. With a full tune i could probably see 285 maybe 290

My car has been incredibly slow in the upper rpms (3500+) ever since I got all these mods. The MREV added some torque down low but i'm still losing power up top. I actually have tested my car against another 06 with only an injen intake and nismo exhaust and he keeps pulling. I'm wondering if the ecu is to blame. Any thoughts?

remove mods..
take to dealer get them to fix under warranty./ tell what was wrong
add one mod at a time, try it out, then add another....
that way you can see what single or combo of mods is the problem if there still is a problem..

I cleaned out the maf sensor and its the same. I did however find a problem. The k&n filtercharger kit comes with a k&n filter that is closed on one side. When installed the "ram air" feature of the stock intake is useless and I wonder if it even gets enough air flow. Heres a pic for you guys, i'm not sure if its clear enough.

I don't think it's your maf - unless you did some offroading on your z. You might wanna triple check the piping of your cai. I've had my popcharger go loose, once and I felt myself losing a whole of of power. K&N's been know to absorb water too, amongst other issues.

This is what i'm talking about when I say closed end filter.
And this is a regular popcharger filter.
I'm sure there is no air flow for that filter I am running, i'll do some experimenting but in the mean time the gruppe-m looks mighty good.
