i'm guessing you do alot of highway because i can barely average 21-22 with mixed city and highway in my stock Z.
How much psi are you tuned at nad how much power you putting down? I'm thinking about going F/I but i wanted to keep my power between the 375 to 400 WHP range for reliability and still keep decent mileage for my daily commutes.

And I gotta LOL at the guys here saying "yeah I drove 400-500whp cars when I was 14" Who in their right mind would let a little kid drive a 4-500whp monster??

When you have wrecked a couple dozen times on a race track pushing the limits of cars you start to learn what safe hard driving is, and what unsafe hard driving is. Thats why I recommended performance driving school, boosted cars (even some factory setups) can be particularly tricky to drive and having lots of experience on track will be beneficial.
I'm curious how an STS setup would work with the HR.

Trying to get back on topic...
It looks like there are no MAF sensors on this car... that's very cool... Seems like the Haltech probably plays a big part in that...
Might be cool to do on an NA car... use some big inlet tubing and eliminate the MAF sensors... just thinking...

Big congrats to Jeremy and Mike for confirming how good the HR is on BOOST !! I sold my very nice Nismo'ed 03 car for my current 07 HR the first week they hit the showrooms in South FL back in Feb 07 !! When I saw the improvements in the design of the motor over the older DE, I was sold on the spot, sold my 03 Z in 3 days (carvizion.com) and bought a new HR PPW !! ( that says a lot because I am a used car dealer myself)..When I left the showroom I immediatly hit the I-95 and took the ***** up to 160 mph to brake it in with style !! Not surprised at the 500 RWHP at 10.5 psi with a killer motor like the HR..I own a 800 HP Supra garage queen, and I think the VQ35HR will become just as popular as the 2JZ-GTE, and will start getting swapped into just about everything..
..Mike, I will hook up another Z meet soon with all the local treasure coast boyz in front of my office in St Lucie West soon, SO WE CAN ALL DROOL AT YOUR NEW BEAST !! BTW, for the record, I have met Mike a few times locally, and he seems like a very quiet well rounded responsible teenager !! SO YA'LL STOP HATIN !!
Jeremy, what is the possibilty of running an HK$ FCON V-PRO piggy back mode with the stock ECU when I decide to go FI..?? That is my current setup on my Supra...

Your Z really came out nice. Something to be proud of for sure... Need to clean her up and post some nice pictures...

Glad to see good results coming from the Haltech EMS, the more options we as a community have, the better for everyone.
Congrats on your kit Jeremy, I always knew the HRs would be a awesome motor from the first time we dissected one.
That power we made on our G37 should tell you alone how strong it is.
BUT, I would still recommend to keep it under 500rwhp, maybe 480ish so the customer can enjoy his car for a while. We still don't know how long they will last a 500rwhp, only time will tell that.
Was this the final kit or were you guys going to get the pipes polished or powder coated? That would look hawt!!
Congrats Mike, I bought my 350Z when I was 17, could barley afford a Injen Cold Air Intake back then lol, it still managed to get me in trouble though.
Be careful out their, the PoPo hates youngsters with nice whips

thanks george,
we actually polished up all the pipes but it was after i got it off the dyno.
i think on the next one we will change up minor things but keep the same overall setup. i was very happy playing with it and love the knock response i was getting. i tuned it on 10.5 psi on my dyno but i gave him the car back with 4.5 (385) 6 psi (420-430) and 9 psi (470ish)
the car pulled very very smooth and i couldnt believe it was stock block.
and to all the people hating on mikes age, WHO cares? Please stop looking through peoples threads to try to find some reason to hate or start something...
If anything ever happens to the car , then say something. Should everyone beat their kids now cause they might do something wrong later on in life....??
