I'm waiting to scan the print out and getting the vid from my buddy. Went to say thanks to Mac Autosport in Parker, Co. Awesome people and shop.
WOW, I didn't know that dynos over here apply altitude corrections, about 16-17% loss due to the 6,000ft. factor...that's about right, perhaps a bit conservative. What was the temperature?

Yeah, this altitude kills power. Even more on an N/A engine vs a FI engine. Any how here are the conditions you asked for: 51.77 degrees F, 15% Humidity.

The 350Z is a nice car, but it's NA potential is very sad to say the least, hey atleast it's better than an S2000, some of those cars with intakes and catbacks make a measily 5whp.

Are if you're refering to it N/A mod potential making large numbers than I would agree that they don't make large numbers. "Sad" I wouldn't say though. The Z is still a fast car and very much a fun car to drive. Considering I put down 232 to the rear wheels and has the potentail of getting 280-300 rwhd N/A only I think its a good car. Its not like the Evo where you can just bump up the boost.

Edit: And notthing a 75 shot could make up, though I have no plan to spray the car.

I agree, "Sad" is to harsh a comment, it's not that bad, but 280-300WHP is with every single possible bolt on avaliable and there still is no guarrantee you will see that much. It's more attractive and cost effective, to simply Twin Turbo or Supercharge the 350Z even though that isn't cheap either. If you bought a 350Z for it's everyday qualities and styling, then it is a great car, if you bought it to tune on a budget, then you will be dissapointed. An EVO IX with just a Flash (stock everything else) recently hit 308WHP/316WTQ on a Mustang Dyno, this same Dyno an EVO VIII made 301WHP/295WTQ and ran a 12.0@113MPH (best trap of the night was 114.8MPH). The 350Z has it's qualities and is not a bad car at all.

Well, got the JWT Popcharger installed and love it. Biggest thing I notice was the exhuast tone sounds a lot better. It help out a lot with the midrange power. Going to install the spacer & crank pulley on Friday. APS TP should be in end of Jan, start of Feb. Once those are installed I'll be headed back to Mac to get re-dyno to see what gains I got.
