yeah but still gained like 90 hp hahaha..

 

hmm... Im thinking out loud here but I wonder if anything different was done by Rob prior to dynoing after the install that maybe others haven't... Im wondering if others reset the computer to relearn the new intakes before doing after install dyno runs, and actually letting the computer fully relearn. Again, Im just thinking out loud...

 

Maybe through the Consult, as I know that the battery wasn't disconnected. You can see from the graph that the first pre-dyno was #1 and the post-dyno was #6. I think they typically do 3-pre and 3-post.

 

^where those 3rd or 4th gear pulls?

 

^ I think he only does 4th gear pulls on all cars.

I just got off the phone with rob, about my AFRs..he said his dyno doesn't have a AFR reader so he can't email them to me apparently he had a handheld AFR

But

He said before my tune I was leaning out, high 13s AFR and now I'm mid 12s AFR

Not sure what that means but I thought I'd post it up.

 

Fifth gear was used because it's the 1:1 ratio gear. Some shops use 4th when the car will hit the speed limiter before it reaches the rev-limit in 5th. ZCG likely does the same, but never 3rd.

He does use a hand-held reader that is more accurate. Your pulls were probably in 5th as well.

 

5th is 1:1 really? Dang I always thought 4th was 1:1

 

if i remember correctly, 1 to 1 is:
6mt - 5th gear
5at - 4th gear

 

ohhhh... 5th gear pulls explains the higher hp reading. That dyno is fine... you guys should ask for 3rd/4th gear pulls as well so just you see how the hp output varies. AFR is a must!

 

I think he was doing fourth cause he was hitting the rev limiter and going to 124mph

I THINK (don't quote me)

 

Got a baseline dyno on a 06(revup) with vortech and nismo exhaust. Dynoed 377whp. He did comment saying it was very high for what I have. I cant wait to see what I make with the pulley/headers/hfc hes installing for me. I feel that his dyno might read a bit high. But from the look of his shop and how he has kept me up to date and been a upstanding guy. You cant just get that anywhere. ZCG gets a A in my book. I am just glad to know my car is getting done right by someone who really knows the Z.

 

what boost?

 

I have to agree. My car had a warranty item issue and he setup appointment for me at dealer, followed up with dealer several times to make sure I was being taken care of. Man if a dealer wants to learn something about customer service they should spend a week at Z Car Garage.

Rob has a passion for these cars and he takes care of his customers.

 

What headers did Rob recommend for you? What boost are you currently running with the 3.12 pulley? Nice numbers and congrats on the install.

 

^ Rob is a big fan of Tomei headers.

 

Rob and his crew are awesome and Rob will go above and beyond for his customers. Most of robs customers cars have the the stillen headers due to cost. Tomei headers are expensive.

 

It was at stock boost 7.5psi.

I just got the car back. I added DC headers, berk highflowcats, 600cc, fuel pump, 2.87 pulley and tune. Made 433whp!! He tuned it down from 447whp!! Im shocked and kinda like WTF is going on here.

 

sweet
what boost level are you at now?

 

I pushed it today and saw 9psi

 

Those torque numbers seem a bit on the high side for an HR, or a Z in general.
