I am done with the outside of my ride and now getting ready to work on the motor! I just want to hear back from some people that are running on a NA set up. I already have a daily driver that is on boost so I am staying away from boosting my Z. I plan to of course throw on most of the NA bolt-ons, and also build the heads and do some mild porting! Post hear are pm me if you have this kind of set up. what did you dyno at?

 

Good start is the MotorDyne Spacer. Hands down best bang for the buck. Than of course the basics; Intake (PopCharger) and exhaust (Your choice). However I found the UTEC to be a great investment.

 

+1 on the UTEC... even without boost the utec has been proven to give you about 15-20 hp.... i would also suggest High flow cats, headers, flywheel and clutch...

 

Motordyne MREV2 +10 and the 5/16 spacer. the install takes about 30min. Great mod!

 

I already have the FULL exhaust (AAM)and intake on order(ARC) which by the way is on back order. The spacer of course! But is there any MODS that I am leaving out?

 

*cough* GTM 4.5L Stroker *cough*

 

strup headers, 3.9 gears, JWT clutch + flywheel...AWesome mod btw

 

UTEC. I honestly feel that w/o tuning 1) You're not getting the most from your mods 2) Could be doing more harm on the engine than help.
Also look into stronger clutch w/ a lighter flywheel. I love my UR crank pulley. No reason to get the complete pullet set. Headers will free up horses. A 3.9 gear won't give you HP but will help you get to speed a lot quicker also. Just search searching the forum and you'll find a lot of your questions have been answer w/ reviews about the part. Good luck w/ your car!

 

+1...dyno'd my car with i/e/p/spacer and got 243whp...got headers and got....243whp but now run a 14.1 afr instaed of the 13.5 i used to get. car runs like poop now even though i still made the same peak hp.

trying to get a reflash but it's hard to get down there when they only open on weekdays

 

Mine = aem intake-5/16-portpolish-strupH-nismoEX- 251rwhp-238rwtq my a/f is right at 13.4
Before the headers mine only had 225rwtq same peak HP but gained 10hp at 3400 rpm- 5100rpm from the headers. One of my dyno sheets is here

 

damn... i make that stock.... give me your mods and lets see what happens... lol ...

i'm just kidding.................











unless you gonna do it...

 

N/A All the way......... I dynoed at 270whp. I am trying to save up for heads and cams now.......You will love N/A`

 

Dyno'd 266.xx whp and 255.xx tq on a dyno dynamics. My mods are a pop charger and motordyne isothermal spacer.

 

Not trying to jack this thread but I saw some of you guys put 3.9 gears. Do any of you have them installed?

 

We have a few sets installed on cars here. Very nice mod, definitely improves acceleration. You may lose your cruise control functionality, but most people don't use that around town anyways.

 

and you have to be in AZ, I'm looking for an installer close to Austin and having no luck at all.

 

well..i have an 03 with 55K+ miles on it....plus even without the headers my afr was kinda weird...

i'm actually thinking of selling all of my power/engine mods to go FI....so maybe i'll be in the market to sell...

 

same man... '03 touring with 64K miles...

i'm thinking of FI too... but that is a ways away... y know...
