Certainly. But in order to know exactly what your gains are you have to have a run or two on the base settings (or leave it alone as it is right now) then tune it to 13.0-13.5 across the board. And you want the graph to be as flat as possible (at least from 4000 on). The graph being flat is almost as important as it being right.

Or you could wait and bring the car in to the shop and let me tune it for you, after I look at waht I need to know for the headers.

So they didnt tune the safcII? Im confused, why would the a/f be different on this day than the other?

There WAS some tuning done via the SAFC2, you can see it in the A/F chart. All I was saying was that the gains he showed didn't come from the SAFC. Look at the blue vs. green chart at the air fuel mixtures and you'll notice that they're identical untill about 4000 rpm. But if you look at his torque curves you can see that the graph shapes are near identical however the green line is almost exactly the same difference from the blue line at every RPM point. His gains are consistant with environmental variables, meaning he had a better day on the rollers than the previous tests. But there is still more power to be found in this car once it gets tuned correctly.

I already purchase a APEXI NEO, It comes with everything. We have a guy up here who installs them. I need to finish the piping underneath first though. (Hi FLO Cat, Y-pipe and Nismo Exhausts.)

OK, unjuiced I think I passed the 300crank HP barrier...

I just downloaded the latest version of the Dynojet software (WINPEP7 DYNAMOMETER SOFTWARE Current Version 7.1.3)
and with my 3 run files, this is what I got. Damn, this shows my best run was 256 WHP???

Something isn't adding up. A while ago you posted your dyno with like high 240s / low 250s for the HP off a mustang dyno. After the header and exhaust work, the ECU reflash, and a couple other things you're at the mid 250s. Something in the mix isn't playing nice with other parts.

funny, thats his first dyno post, and his last numbers were 253 with the SAFC, and headers, he doest have the ecu flash..

he's just saying that his best numbers that day were 256hp instead of 253, he didn't do another dyno, he just didn't know his best score..

I never posted any of my dyno numbers before because this is my first dyno EVER!!! I think you are confusing me with Ramberg, a while back he had a dyno done on a mustang dyno that he posted on the Org...

People have run 150 shots on 3.5s in maximas without any problems. I know a Z team ran a HUGE shot until they blew the motor which was a while I believe.
