She runs pretty good...we were able to consistently get around there..283, 284, 285 on one pull...I believe we were runnin around 26 degrees of timing max in the higher rpm's....don't quote me though...I'd love to get to a track but its so far away and so damn hot out lately...plus I sold my stockers and I really don't wanna burn up my rear 19's....

 

Yes, you would be. You'd have access to more power, and each shift at your extended redline would land you deeper in your powerband.

 

not a bad idea..but at this point...I will leave it till I possibly go f.i....but prolly not.

 

good #'s man!

 

its no 300+ like you..but it works...it takes out some of the cars that think they should win..based on internet races..lol

 

Thats one fast NA z

 

thanks man...especially when its not 90 degrees....I hate heat..

 

Its not that much of a sacrifice with the mrev2 and spacer. I lost about 1hp at peak for like, 200 rpms and it level out to where my original revup peak was, but i gained crazy tq and hp in the midrange, so putting a revup lower plenum would not benefit you.

 

besides the utec and test pipes we have the same mods..

 

however with cams and rev up manifold. i would like to see those numbers top end wise.

KA makes a good point. is there anyone with that set up?

 

do you feel like there's more to be gained from a true dual exhaust? i am so torn between a cheaper frankenstein pieced single exhaust setup and a nice true dual. does an NA setup really need true dual? i see that even the top dollar NA builds here don't necessarily have duals.

 

is utec the way to go for the z?

 

Pretty much. Its cheap compared to others, and it works for everything a Z needs. If you are on the east coast, then you are good, because I don't think there is a cobb tuner or uprev tuner on the east.


I would like to use the Osiris from UpRev though, it seems really good. Now if Julian was an Osiris tuner, then I know what I would do for an ems.

 

hey guys, what about a reflashed ECU tuned on a dyno? cheaper still...i'm not sure how effective it is for an all motor setup.

 

So did you ever get a base line dyno?

 

Was the shop in CT called SWIFT Motorsports?

 

No it wasn't swift....I did get a base line dyno...here's how it kind of worked.

Diff dyno: 251 whp stock then 267 whp modded...then that 267 tune is what I went in at mrc with....and came out with the curve u see...because it was a diff dyno the number to me doesn't mean so much , u can however see the diff in the hp curve...

 

bouncing around from shop to shop.. sounds like 'the shop' in norwalk

 

I did most of the installs myself...the tuner bounced around....I think he still does...so "the shop" or any other shop named here is not to blame...and truthfully the car ran good before...but there was more left in it..

thats kind of my point...

better tuner = more power...

 

i have a feeling who the tuner is.. lol
