LOL @ davidv...
107 mph with an open diff though on my first trip to the track ever. After a quick scan of the list, that looks like top 10 to me (in my category), with an open diff and bald tires. 8-) Whatever, I'm sure the FD helps, which is why that list is no more useful than this thread.

hey david
Just read a thread on shiny & loud exhausts.
Along the same lines. Top 25 shiniest tips. 25 loudest exhausts. Bolt on, T T, supercharged, & nitro classes. Bolt on can't compete with TT loudness. Must be fair.
As far as the top 25 dyno leaders. I think it should be also broken down by different dynos as well.
Top 25 Volk wheels? Maybe I'm going to far?

Well I've always heard that 10whp/tq is roughly the minimum gain for 'feeling' anything. To be honest, if I did feel anything it was so minimal that I was quickly used to it. Intakes definitely sound cool though - I definitely sound like I'm going faster, lol. Thanks Stillen for that '+20WHP sound'

^^ theres something definitely wrong with your car then. with just HR MD ART pipes and stock catback, i definitely felt a gain and throttle became a lot more sensitive. The car pulled so much harder starting at 2k rpm.

I might just be harder to please. The numbers I made are right in line with all the other 07-08 Z's that have been on the same dyno. I now understand why people always go boost, especially in newer vehicles that have been improved from the factory.

OP, I'd have to assume your Cobb tune is to blame. Take it to an Osiris Uprev tuner.
I have an 07, Bassani exhaust, Stillen HFC, and Injen intakes. Baselined at 262HP, now at 296HP. When I have the cash, I'll get an Osiris dyno tune and I hope to break 300-whp and get rid of the pesky check engine light.
But dyno says it's a blast to drive and that's my goal.
Yes, Davidv, this is a pretty impressive set-up. Most likely you think I will want to post my time here: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=233840 but in reality, I am not building my car for the 1/4 mile and I suck at launching it anyway so what's the point? But when I do go to a 1/4 mile just for fun, I'll post my crappy 14.5 sec time just for you :-) Or I'll have someone else drive it for me...

^^ I like this guy.
And Nismo1534, like he said, it's your tune/car. For some reason you refuse to believe that's the case and you think that all HR's don't react well with bolt-ons. That's clearly wrong and our cars do benefit from bolt-ons more than in your case.

Yes, but that graph above is from a dynojet. I was on a mustang dyno. Those final numbers would be closer to my numbers, had it been a mustang dyno.

Exactly. It doesn't matter how high the numbers are. It's the SPREAD that you're interested in... and it doesn't matter what dyno you use, the spread should be the same.
