As most of you know I drove to Forged Performance to have my car tuned... Almost everyone asked me why would you drive that far to have you car tuned? I can sum it up in one word, Trust.

I trusted Forged to do the tuning. I did not have that same level of confidence in other places that were closer. So the decision was easy for me.

The entire shop was very hospitable to me, and I could not be more happy with my decision to have brought my car to them. Sharif stayed well after the shops hours to make sure all the final touches were done.

All in all after 20+ hours of driving and over 1300 miles, I made it back home in one piece.

On to the good stuff

Dyno Sheets from the Heartbreaker :P

Boost control vs Wastegate

Boost curve and Powerband


Crappy video from my phone, of one of the pulls.

Thanks again for making the trip down. For those of you that haven't seen this car in person, the body work is spectacular, and attention to detail outstanding. I am really looking forward to seeing it once the paint is done!

This is the first time I have tuned a stock block VQ35 with the BC Stage2 cams. Overall really impressed. The cams did what they should...they moved the power curve to the right for a more linear curve and power to redline. With an extended rev limit/upgraded springs, the engine would continue to make more power.

Also wanted to give credit all the people involved with the Haltech EMS. It's come such a long way over the past year, and is truly among the best in class for the VQ35.

They havent done anything with the 350Z PnP in the past year. No inputs/output, no E85 compensation, no fuel pressure compensation, no anti-lag, no..... Its essentially a UTEC with starting params and more resolution for the vacuum cells. Alot of credit to the tuner behind the keyboard though!

Regardless, great tune on a stock block! Danny's car is sick!

You are gonna extend your tips before you paint the car right?

Congrats on that torque curve G man! ^ Rich, I have high hopes for that I/O box... Once you start tuning, you'll appreciate the Haltech's GUI and shortcuts vs the UTEC.

Rich I agree I give the man behind the keyboard did a great job. I actually did extend it, but never cleaned off all the crap off the bumper. They sit about an inch past now. I can't wait to take the car out and give it a good beating.

Thanks bud, was nice to see your car at Forged. I am sure you are getting some top secret stuff done for z-days.

Thanks Rich. Go easy on comparing the Haltech to a UTEC. No comparison there at all. Like any piece of software, the more you dig into it, the more neat features you start finding.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm finding the Haltech tunes more stable over time, than I am accustomed to.

I fully agree, my tune was super stable over the 2 hours I used it

Haltech is nice, its just not current. But again, not many builds really need all the options I am looking for.


Cant wait to see the finished car at Zdayz. Mine will look like the stock G35. HA
