and just so you know the flowmaster exhaust is known to flow worse than stock, and the K&N filter is at most 1hp gain so you should theoretically be dyno'ing less than stock not 60hp more haha(not bashing your mods, just pointing it out)

also, you better hope you don't have cam with higher lift than stock when you put those rockers in

295 at the wheels with just a lid..... i'd have crapped myself if it pulled 350. i was happy with 295, a guy with a 350Z rolled up with me and dynoed like 250, he wasn't happy, went out and bought $8k in parts for a turbo setup

if you can play the link, save it, and then host it somewhere else.

I HIGHLY doubt that a car with a six point cage is completely stock... unless you dine on a popular asian staple called rice.

just looks good i intend on doing alot of stuff like i said the engine has alot of miles in the morning it rattles i am looking for a reasonable priced ls2 for it the dyno was for a good call and it would be nice to have a baseline to see how much i pick up with minor mods but i have no reason to lie about whats done nor what the dyno says when i created the thread to compare and see if it was accurate i thought it was high myself

just as a thought, your car may have had an aftermarket set of gears, and if you didn't know this, the dyno operator would have put the wrong gears in, this may have been the reason for the high reading

car does look good btw. even if it isn't a real SS.

so it does have the wu8 code. That sucks, I'd argue to get that wing right...

you can still get the wing from some people... or on e-bay... one in particular that has sold a bunch to guys on this site and the spoiler company that they get them from has great fitment. the spoiler company im referring to even paints the wings for ya.
