Cool, I'd like to see what kind of numbers you put up! I've been looking at a set of headers.

ok so i drove down to forged all the way from charleston. and it was WELL worth the drive; shop was clean, nice, well run, and FULL of so many sick cars to look at to kill time. r

Sharif tuned my tuned my 2003 Z with Osiris, and i am very happy with the results.. the 5 hour drive home was a blast. although i gained a few HP/TQ on the dyno.. what suprised me the most was how it drove on the road!

pros:
-gained roughly 8tq and 15 whp
-redline bumped from 6600 to 7100
-pulled all of my mods together, creating a whole new car practically. The rpms pull so much smoother on the ROAD and keep going all the way to the new redline
-dont have to worry about hitting the redline when coming out of first gear major plus +
-sharif explained everything to me and did a great job tuning

cons:
-only con was that i was 5 hrs away lol

here is my printed out dyno sheet (will post clearer one when i get it in my email)


MOD LIST
-HKS true dual
-HFC's
-Headers
-Powelab 3/8 spacer
-Pop charger
-UR pully kit
-Grounding kit
-performance clutch/flywheel

-Tein flex w/ EDFC
-Stillen sways
-JIC majic strut bar
-VOLK sf challenges 19x9.5 & 10.5


when ever i figure out my video camera i will post up the video.. i cant figure out how to work my dads sony dcr-DVD308.. if anyone knows how to get video footage from my sony DVD camcorder on to my comp it would be GREATLY appreiciated!!!!

Remember, your car came in very "lean" which mean your walk-in power was actually pretty good.... unfortunately it was also very unsafe at those AF ratios.

The improvement in power, is partly related to the initial state of your ECU. As such, some people will see more gains, and others will see less. But a 15whp improvement from NA tuning is outstanding. You can see the majority of the gains where in the top end, so you wont see that as much on the trq curve.

yea i am definitely happy with the gains forr shure! i know a stock z reads roughly 215-220hp on your dyno.. do you know how much trq a stock z reads on your dyno?

...also how do i chang the maps with my cruise control??

I'm just wondering why you guys made power in the 260 range and all I done was 245whp today on a Dyno Dynamics.

Mods:
Nismo CAI
Powerlab Spacer
Berk HFC's
Stillen Y-pipe
Agency Power single exhaust

I think I had an Osiris reflash, but I still expected a lil more. I don't know what my Z was making stock but he said he got 5hp from the reflash.

Could just be the difference in dynos. You could always take it to Forged? Also you and 350z-bra have similar mods, what type of wheels are you running can'tzme? I've always wondered if wheels could effect your dyno numbers? I know when I switched from the stock wheels to the nismo wheels, I felt that the car was quicker, mainly due to the difference in weight.

It could be the dynos I guess but I don't think I'm going to drive all the way to Forged lol. Im running 19 x 8.5F and 19 x 9.5 in the rear. They are cheap heavy wheels though but I don't know the weight compared to stock.
