Thumbs up Z Board Member (and Tuner) 370Z w/ Dyno & Wheels

Nice spot-on power #'s from his stock dyno pull:







Much More mods coming according to owner!

What's the drivetrain loss on this one? Only 279WHP? It doesn't really make advertised 332HP with average 15-16% loss. But then again, it depends on which dyno and many other factors...

15% drivetrain loss with 332hp at the crank is about 282whp. 16% drivetrain loss results to about 278whp. It's close enough.

332 x .15 = 49.8

Thus 332hp - 49 = 283hp. So it's within it's range pretty good.

As demonstrated with just an intake, exhaust, and ecu flash I was able to obtain nearly 30hp on my 3.5L VQ. I expect some nice numbers from this car modded.

Take a look at the AF readings. Damn that car must have some sick electronics controlling that motor! Even aftermarket cars don't have a line like that. Really broad powerband; I need to drive one of these

That's a very smooth powerband, can't wait to see this new platform get modded. Has anyone boosted one yet? I'm waiting for someone to transplant a GT-R motor into a Z and mod it for RWD only.

I believe someone has already taken the AWD system out of the GT-R and turned it into RWD only!!!

The more I see it the more its a mess. Nowhere near as cohesive as the last model in design. Nice power numbers!

Agreed. The 350z was a better/cleaner design.
