17whp from JUST a JWT Dual Short Ram Intake?

just in comparison to the sheets you posted from ZCR its higher than normal...

It just seems to me that there are quite a few variations on dyno results on the HR after mods....Given location and weather have a part to play...but still...thats just my .02

regardless of the mods, we can see that the base power output from the graph was 290whp/267.17rwtq. This numbers are about 10%(~25-30whp) higher than most HR numbers. This is pretty high IMO.

Anyways, who cares about power otput from one dyno to another. They'll never be the same since Dyno's are used to tune cars, not to measure power output.

^ maybe my car responded well to the mods? Cause exhaust "claims" 10-15hp or something and test pipes "claim" like 12hp so maybe that is the case?
Regardless I don't care..I like the way my car feels and it doesn't hook for **** in 1st and part of 2nd which is kind of fun =)

Rob did my 350Z. I got 404 when mine was done. (S/C and cams). Rob's shop is the best for any and all needs when it comes to Z'S AND G'S. You can't go wrong. Rob does all the mods on my Z which I won't list here, but he's the expert.

Not calling you out but that sounds like crazy-ness to me. This is the first time I've seen short rams gain power. I've also seen and documented my car lost power with nismo intakes.

But anyway, LMFAO @ this from the zcar blog

Bummer I know.

I kind of want to save up for INJEN intakes (the long ones) and get a retune and see what happens.

Go ahead and call me out. You clearly don't know me, as I don't quote things that I can't back-up. I quoted it on the last page, but here it is again: http://www.zcarblog.com/2010/11/10/p...ily-part1.html

And here is the dyno since you clearly didn't click the links I posted:
