How much is it? how many runs do we get? the website says you only need ONE run, but I would still like more than one, especially for 50-70 bucks

I'd rather have fewer runs for less $$. I believe you when you say your high-tech equipment only requires one run. You say 3-4 runs for $50. How much for one run?

I'll be there early afternoon. I also mentioned it at the Triangle Z Club meeting Thursday & we may have a few show up from there. A guy named Dave with a CS Touring might show but I kinda doubt he'll run. Chase Casanova & Cameron Fore might show with their 300ZX's, & Stacy King, the track coordinator said he might show just to watch.

I think that I will let you guys have it. The only mods that I have made are the grounding kit and the K&N. I suspect that my numbers would be right around everyone elses...

Default Dyno results

Stacy & I showed up for the dyno and eventually talked Eric into showing up, too. I know now why he was reluctant to run, as his Z dyno'd a few HP and a few ft/lbs lower than mine !

One bad thing that happened, it seems that our rims aren't clear-coat over metal but actually are painted. With the Dynopack they use, you remove the drive wheels and bolt the machine to the lugs, and the result was that I have some pretty signifigant scarring inside the lug holes. I told them not to use the impact hammer & I THINK they didn't. They swear they used thin-wall ratchets. Stacy & I were watching them the whole time, but the final result is still that the inside of my lug holes are scarred up pretty bad; not physical scarring but the paint layer came off. I'm gonna call the dealership & see about touch-up. I'll also do some searching on this site & elsewhere; if anyone has heard of anything like this, please let me know.

Anyway, on to the numbers. They aren't as high as I have seen posted elsewhere, but the others I've seen are Dynajet and the Dynajet is notorious for being....generous shall we say.

Quick & dirty: 236.9 HP 222 ft/lb torque (at the wheels, of course)

yeah a good run, i dyno'd a bit lower at 231hp but brian has A) more miles which from what ive seen, the car seems to gain hp up to about 10k miles, and B)im sure his car was much cooler than mine and C) he has the resonator removed.

but i have the injen, which doesnt appear to add ANYTHING, which has me pretty bummed out.

anyway a good run, still decent HP

You've heard "a sticker don't make you quicker"? I just made one up: "Bling bling don't add a thing!"
