The last car to go was a black g37 with stillen intake and hi-flow cats (Berk I believe) and he put down something like 296. Russ, was your top 298? I think he may have switched it and made it the top Z and G, not NA and FI, but ask Dave for certain. My car was such a dud out there today, but atleast Dave killed off the rest of my clutch giving me reason to upgrade

Oh well it was a blast and as said above nice seeing some new faces as well as meeting up with friends.

I have been having some problems with the car the last few weeks (mainly clutch related), but decided...what the hell and put the car on anyway. The clutch has been slipping pretty bad of late, along with some weird engagement, but I thought it would hold for few passes. It didn't. Regardless I had fun, but it was a bit disappointing. I think my final numbers were only like 271.x. It's alright though. I can't really complain the stock clutch made it 90k of abusive, modded miles. It finally gives me the motivation I needed to get off my *** and get a clutch/flywheel. Dave has told me the last 2-3 times I was there how bad it was, but I'm just a cheap dude by nature and wanted it to really be dead. He kind of gave me the warning that today might be it, and sure enough on the way home it was having trouble engaging while accelerating in 6th on the highway. So, I will order the clutch/flywheel here soon and resort to only peddling the gs350 around for a few weeks.
I hadn't made any changes since my last dyno.....which was about a month ago, just prior to clutch problems manifesting.
257 is pretty good through an auto.

Yeah, you should. I had figured to be in the mid-high 280's in the shootout mode, but it wasn't meant to be. I was talking with someone on the G forums who got tuned their (I guess on Sat) and his initial dyno was 214. Then after the tune was 230 (I think the car only had intake, spacer, exhaust, and a tune). Thats a pretty solid gain from just tuning with those bolt-ons. These numbers are pretty normal on his dyno when he is tuning. For example, when my car was healthy it made 262 on their while being tuned.

Cool man. I'm happy with my numbers since I was expecting around 260. I was told I need to be tuned and my car is almost misfiring up top so time for tuning. Im going to try and get my runfiles from Dave so I can post my graphs in the dyno section.

Yeah....it was a bit curious for me, for some reason my cars af was a bit high. Not dagerous, but when I was tuned it was around 12.8 falling to 12.6ish, and yesterday it was around 13.3 falling to about 13.0 at redline. It's a little higher than I would like, but not bad. When I get the clutch installed I will ask Dave what he thinks.
I'll be ready to put down better power in the fall (assuming there is a fall meet-up).
