MILD-BUILT VQ35 DYNO BASELINE
UPDATE
On Tuesday of this week, I put in my Fidanza Flywheel.
The loss in low end that was evident from the timing I set for these cams... is gone (at least in the shorter gears where it was most evident).
As expected, 1st and 2nd gear wind up and down ridiculously quick. I love it. Shedding 10lbs or rotating mass sure made me forget that I actually have less power down low than I used to before this build. 3rd gear it is just barely noticeable that "something changed", enough to notices the slightly faster reving. 4th and 5th is the exact same.
I heard it from everyone that I was going to have to re-learn to drive my car after installing a Fidanza... not the case. My car is now EASIER to drive than previously. Shifting up and down is easier, rev-matching is precise and instantaneous, I notice that the transition between coasting and accelerating (and vice versa) is much smoother, even LAUNCHING (the supposed-to-be trickiest part of an Aluminum FW) was actually easier! It engages super quick so all I do is rev it a bit higher and off it (smoothly) goes (have to rev to maybe 1500-1700 instead of 1300-1400... mind you that I have an ACT NM1-HDG6 clutch so my engagements are basically lightning fast)
Over all Im happy as heck w00h00!!!!!! Worth the hassle
EU, Spacers, and electronic cut-out are the next things
