....Also have touring ed. with stop tech drilled and n-tech pads(factory size of course).They bite a bit harder than factory and with the ceramic composite, NO DUST!!!
........Zee-ya tonight at the meet!!!!!

Soposedly the dyno we were on yday was designed to put a load on the wheels as if we are on the road so in that instance it would make sence that something heavier would its like saying I can't spin 19s but I can 18 its less resistance there for being less restictive . And there is only one way to prove and you know it damnit even you said that my hp was close to yours and it shouldn't be explain why I have intake and exhaust aka less retriction a more hp model a newer model with less wear on it yet its so close to yours on the hp level? What's the only thing that would make sence? Maybe weight?
I know this though, theres a mustang guy in my class and when I dynoed mine and a 2003 or so mustang bullit went on there and dynoed lower hp then mine I smacked his ***** as hard as I could about it, he had a bit more torque then me but I crashed his little glass house he had been in about a V6 not making as much as a V8 could.
Lets clear up a few things here:
1.The schools dyno is a Dynojet, it doesnt have rolling resistance in the roller, so essentially its like your dynoing your car going downhill. Mustang dyno's have rolling resistance so they tend to provide lower dyno numbers then a dynojet will put out.
2.The dyno was recalibrated early this month so Im pretty sure its accurate, the only problem with hooking our cars up is that one of the wires that he has to hook under the hood would not sit right and from my understanding part of the torque reading has to do with ground signal from the coilpack, you saw it on the screen as you were dynoing your car erick. My car did the same thing on the dyno, the tachometer on the screen was jumping all over the place because it couldnt get a accurate ground signal.
3. Ratios for the 2005 350Z from the service manual (conviently downloaded on my pc :P)
Manual trans
1st 3.794 : 1
2nd 2.324 : 1
3rd 1.624 : 1
4th 1.271 : 1
5th 1:1
6th 0.794 : 1
Auto
1st 3.540 : 1
2nd 2.264 : 1
3rd 1.471 : 1
4th 1 : 1
5th 0.834 : 1

No, we DO know. 
A 1:1 ratio from my understanding provides a more accurate dyno.
btw: Nice meet last night guys, wish I could of stayed longer. At least mannys happy now, I found the squeaking culprit in his rear suspension, a stripped out bolt that connects the lower a-arm to the hub. It wasnt tight and was able to be turned by my hand in the bushing.

hey carlos it just happen by accident because charles was out there infact he isnt even supposed to have been doing that seeing as he's not in that class yet its just he had a sub and the dude was like screw all this brake ish lets go dyno and so i just happened to not be doing anything in my class and i heard the dyno and i was like ok lets see if they can get me in. oh yeah did adrian get in contact with you? he's getting rid of his tsw's he wanted to know if you were interested since he knew you liked them pm him dawg ih yeah and about the dyno dawg my chit barely made it on there so your would more than likely get stuck

Hope it was a good meet.
