Up coming intake manifold testing.
Hi guys ,
In the coming weeks I'll be testing the M370 and a ported G37 manifold by (Synergy) Scott. I will not be changing anything other than the manifold on the compassion runs , then I'll be loading in a "new" tune on the ported Stock manifold.
So to summarize I'll be making 5 runs with my current set up
ARK cat back- Z1 HFC's-Takedas-M370Z-tuned.
Then swapping in the ported G37 manifold and making 5 runs. And will compare them. Then 3 end runs after I load in my new tune for the ported stock manifold.
All in all should take me about a month.
I'm making my tunes M370 runs next weekend and 3 weeks or so later I'll go back and make the Ported G37 manifold runs and final tuned runs. Reason being I s need time to swap manifolds and I refuse to pay to have something done I can do
. Thank you

My tuner let me do everything on the dyno. And that included lower as well. Took about an hour and I didn't get charged extra. Wouldn't hurt to ask him!
I still haven't seen a ported m370. That'd be a good comp too.
Good luck with everything.
FYI from my tuning experience the catted cars have some problems with increase in power with breather mods. You're trying to get the air in but the cats won't let it get out. From my car to a buddies, this resulted in 5 degrees less timing because he knocked from the extra exhaust heat staying in the headers, staying in the exhaust heads, making the motor knock. I'm not saying go buy test pipes but just a FYI what you'll see.

Thanx man, I cant run TP's in Mass, I would have to swap then every year for my inspection and the increase in noise for a few WHP isn't worth it. I'll ask my shop on Monday, Maybe they'll either let me swap it or cut me a deal and flipping them around. We'll see what they say.

Got my stock intake over the weekend and shipping it out to (Synergy) Scott today. My dyno shop is going to let me swap the mani while the car is on the dyno, So I will have true back to back runs.

Very interested in how this turns out. I still have my old stock manifold and if you get good gains I may go this route and sell the M370. I do really like the new M370 cover though, but can't use the stock cover which is also nice. Have fun in Thailand!!

Error in shipping it back to me. He used the wrong address and it went to the UPS store I shipped from :/.. I'm trying to get them to change the address. Was supposed to use my Paypal address.
