Hi gaiz,

I have an 06 Z with the following bolt-ons

HKS Intake
HKS True Dual Exhaust
Crawford High Flow Cats
Crawford Headers
MREV 2 Plenum + Spacer
Pulleys
Mishimoto Radiator

I took my Z to techno square yesterday for their famous "reflash" and the numbers before were 254 and after the tune I was pushing 284. I guess a 30hp gain is pretty good but I'm curious to hear from those who have been down my path and beyond (if you are a noob with no experience whatsoever, please STFU and GTFO) what else is there out there for me to do for better numbers?

I'm comtemplating TT in the near future but I want to know if there is anything else I can "bolt-on" in the mean time. I thank you in advance for your time and comments.

 

Grounding kit maybe?

^^^ thanks mate. I PMed that guy but I really doubt that will get me better numbers.

 

yeah, a grounding kit or more stickers.

 

How much do stock 03-06Zs make on their dyno and/or what did your car make there when stock?

 

30 HP is pretty decent, unless you boost it, that is all you are going to get.....

I gotta ask, does it feel worth it? I know I had very similar results when I was N/A and I felt beyond disappointed

 

^^ honestly part of me feels like it was well worth it but the other side of me (the side that wants to go faster) says "it wasn't"

 

not really sure but can't image them anything over 250 hp

 

06 Stock Airbox
Test Pipes

or Turbo/SC

 

Some Cams, lightened Flywheel +HD clutch or some CF to lighten your Z.

 

might as well build your block if you do cams

 

That's why I ask. Your gain and overall numbers "seem high", but if stock cars are putting down 250rwhp, that gives a barometer.

 

which kit did you get Dan?

 

N/A guys measure gains in 5-10 hp..... FI guys measure gains in 100's of HP.

I have been there and done that in both camps. I would maybe move to a lightened flywheel/clutch setup when the stocker goes, but would not rip into the motor for cams...NO WAY.

I would put money into suspension, brakes and wheels.

 

he has ballin suspension, brakes, wheels

Mario just turbo that bish!

 

speed force racing

 

Not an item that would increase WHP but would increase acceleration (to a point). 4.08 gears If you pick up a complete pumpkin, it installs in less than an hour!

 

thanks for the input. I will most def get a lighter flywheel/clutch combo as soon as my stock one goes.

thanks Charley! I will eventually, I'm just waiting for some time to go before I pull the trigger because I'd hate if my wifey pulled the trigger on me because of the TT

that's right, I forgot you had told me already. How far along is this from completion?

oh really? Right on man! I am gonna look into this foe show!

 

^i felt nice increase in acceleration when i went from 3.3 to 3.5... so i imagine going from 3.5 to 3.9 would be good for you, but youll be in really high RPMs on the freeway and you would need to go back to a 3.5 or ideally the 3.3 (i believe) if/when you go FI.....

 

^^ that is the main reason I don't wanna do that because the chance of me going FI are very high.

thanks for the help meng. I've been lurking the "engine" vendor sections for a TT kit and reading lots about different kits with different set ups. I found a thread dedicated to FIed guys on stock motors. That got my attention, I read of a member on stock block pushing 469 at 10 or 12 psi - I was like it may be possible so I'm doing more reading before making a decision.
