Ha... the '96:
249 RWHP
251 RWTQ
The car was being uncooperative since it took 4-5 tries to get my two pulls for the event. Interesting baseline to work with though I had no idea what to expect. The torque curve looks good, power curve seemed smooth and the car sounded great. We took the first pull to 6K and after looking at the curves, we decided to take the second pull to 6,500 rpms since the power seemed to still be there.
No, I did not put the CE on the dyno... nothing to prove there.

In retrospect - I should have asked them to do a pull from a dead stop...
As you know being a fellow hybrid Z owner, the car will do up to 85mph on just the batteries, so every time they tried to get the car settled at around 60mph (like they seemed to do for all the other cars) the Z would go full electric since it wasn't accelerating, just cruising...
This caused the dyno to lose it's mind every time...
Somewhere there's got to be video of the dyno showing the RPMs peaking at 9000...

I'd be willing to bet your car puts down around 400rwhp. Mated with that 6-speed manual that you have it's definitely in no short supply of hp or tq. I ran into a new Coyote stang the other day also with a 6 speed manual and he said it put down 403rwhp. If I get time in the next month I can make that happen for you Tixer if I go take Big Red in to push a little more timing. I have a solid relationship with my tuner and he would probably throw yours on for next to nothing to give you a nice baseline pull before we put a turbo on that thing.

Maybe set up a dyno day in mid October?

Don't test me. A nice "track only" hot lava tune on the switch with some real timing and a cool day at the track with no front swaybar. Nifty lifty swifty. I smell 10s.
