For some reason that comes out to ricer math, which i'm not sure how. Perhaps the dyno is not as accurate as those guys' butt dyno above.
I don't look for big horsepower numbers or horsepower gain. I look at percent horsepower gain or 39.6/209.7 or 18.8 percent improvement. This just makes sense in my brain.

And a 18.8 percent increase is, as I mentioned, impressive.

Agreed with you but it's easier for people to interpret HP gain compard to percentage especially if they have no clue on what their baseline is.

Alot of helpful inputs. Thanks all. I will definitely wait for the mods then will get tuned. 40hp gain with tune is very impressive.

For a guy that has spent so much on his car and with so many posts on this forum, you'd think he would know more about cars and would come up with more intelligent responses.

Too be honest.......Nexx is usually my partner in beating down the HR guys putting up dynos of 32X with intake/exhaust and fishing for praise.....trust me there are worse HR fanboys on here. He was just pushing your buttons gabe....

If you want to see HR fanboyism at its very best check out the 350z HR vs 370z vid thread.......

Yeah, I just got a little irritated about him discrediting my answer without any backing other then saying it's ricer math. I see him post a lot in the FI section and use to think he was somewhat of a knowledable guy, but it turns out he's just a professional my350z forum browser.
