I don't know either way, but i wouldn't assume adding all of these parts would equal a total hp gain of each part individually.

Its not going to ever get close to 80-90whp. You combine all those together maybe 40-50whp. They put down 285whp stock and will most likely be able to muster 330whp with intake, exhaust, hfc, and a tune.

i love that they made them more powerful and lighter. Just not a big fan of the styling. The gains on these motors though is pretty impressive.

I am sure it will be a handicap to boost this engine due to its high compression ratio (I haven't read the Compression ratio yet) but that is my wild guess.

Meh, please do not compare anything LSx with anything VQ...

Gains of 23 wtq across the entire rpm range and 24whp using Berk Technology downpipes with 200cell HFCs on an otherwise stock car.

http://www.370z.com/MagazineArticles...Downpipes.aspx

JWT dual POP charger intake gained ~4whp on an otherwise stock car. The gains didn't happen until after 4k rpms, so the stock intake was breathing pretty well up to that point. Combined with other exhaust mods allowing the engine to breath better, the intake should see bigger gains relative to stock.

,

I totally agree with you, I been there done that. Once all the mods are combined they typically don't add up as much as when they are tested individually. I was trying to point ouy that each independent mod made its power increase without a doubt , in other words, proven power.

Yeah, the difference is that I posted the links and you didn't.... I am not doubting your claims, just back up your statements with some links, that is all.
I also have one magazine(power pages) in which a Evo was fitted with a XS engineering and lost, yes, lost 2whp.

I think the real deal is going to be boost on these guys. The current HR's are so efficient. They make 520+whp on just 10lbs of boost. They damn near crack 600whp on 14lbs. On stock block which has been proven very strong on the HR's. With the added displacement and higher flowing heads they could be breaking 600whp on 12lbs of boost in the 370z. Should have a few stock block 10sec Z's on our hands as soon as some of them figure out how to drive

Comparing boost levels on a NA motor with a that of motor built for boost is a complete waste of time.

Just because an HR makes 600whp with 12lbs of boost does not mean its anymore efficient than a 4g63 making 600whp with 25lbs

(although i still assume it's a much more efficient motor).

p.s. i <3 C6 Z06 lol

How is that a waste of time, where exactly in my post did I compare it to the 4G63? I never said anything about the 4G63 I was simply stating the facts on how well the newly designed HR motor is over the previous years...sorry if you don't understand that.
