On the Dyno Today
I just got to the shop this morning and they're pulling my Z onto the dyno. I had 389rwhp a week ago but my a/f ratio is running rich at 9.5/1. They'll get that dialed in and I'm anxious to see what the final numbers will be. I expect to have pics and video up later today.

Now it only needs to get louder. Remember the one you were plugging your ears for when it was on the dyno 
not everyone likes to scare people. Nice numbers and can't wait to see the final results.

Nice numbers already from the car - looking forward to seeing what it ends up being after all the tweaking is done.

John was able to squeak another 3 ponies out of by adjusting the timing but it also introduced a bit of knocking into the mix. We chatted about it for a few minutes and wound up having him go back to where it had been. I wound up with 411rwhp and 409 lbs/ft torque. Not bad for a few hours and less than $400.
I'll edit a video and post it up here in a bit.

This is a bolt on car?
Edit:
Plans for a cam?
