hi guys, I just dynoed the car with toda spec A2s with greddy emanage tuned to the cams
before the car makes, at that time the car had a tanabe exhaust
now it makes, changes includes: ARC single exhaust ( the car makes 178 with this exhaust and sorry, forgot to take the printout) and toda cams. It makes 200.8 without emanage tuning.
I think this particular dyno I was using reads lower than it is supposed to be, with a stock 350z makes 210s, and 220s with IHE, and an IS300 makes 180 with I/H/E and SAFC tuned.
I can't find anything wrong with the car mechanically, compression test results are: 220. 215, 212, 215. On cylinder 3 however, I did 3 consecutive tests, first time it reads 212, second time it reads 200, 3rd time it reads 197, with 7,8 minutes between each tests. Leak down tests on all cylinders came OK. Car has 46k miles, and has seen a lot of track time.
Also notice how the power keeps on going up even at peak RPM, I guess it's time for a full stand alone ECU with higher rev limiter.
If you guys think there is anything mechanically wrong with my car, I am all ears.

178 is insanely low. I'd go to another dyno to check if I were you.
If the dyno reads low, it reads low. He even mentioned that it read low for some other cars too. Dynos aren't meant to produce a number so you can post it on the internet and brag about it, they're good for comparison purposes.
the dyno it is not important in tihs case, becuase he made a baseline run and on the same dyno, did the other runs with the cams. Look it in this way, he go 16% more power than before.
