Tony’s 350z

Tony N came to ZCG to discuss tuning for his Z33.  After a bad MAF and plenum leak were discovered and sorted, Rob UPREV’d the Z with great results. Peak gains of 16hp/23tq for a total of 267hp/257tq to the wheels is a significant improvement in power. More impressive is the area under the curve after UPREV tuning:  From just under 4000rpm to redline Tony’s Z is now making a solid +25hp/34tq to the wheels!


Tony would like to give a shout out to his crew, High Octane Tuners. We like the 19″ Z34 wheels filling the fenders especially in the pictures below. Enjoy the Ride!

Dan F is a hardcore autocross and road course guy. His weapon of choice: Nissan’s 350 Zed. Last year Dan made the jump to forced induction and we did a full Vortech supercharger install, check it out HERE. Dan came back to ZCG for several performance mods including a Bassani exhaust system, switch to waterless coolant and A/C removal.

 

Stock vs Bassani exhaust:

 

Weight reduction: Check. Efficient cooling: Check. Free-flowing exhaust: check. Go get’em Dan!
