Message Yep, same old, with new T-shirts! Mixman had high score last year, his 800+ HP curve graced the design of this year's shirt:

first up... my Silver TT with upgraded 2.5" piping and Massive IC's. No inlet piping. Oh, and 740 Nismos over last year:

Yeah yeah yeah, I wasn't going to mod it...

Last year vs this year:

Kept tripping over this thing parked next to the dyno:

GTR Jeff had his second kick at the cat with his TT 350Z this year with the IPP built motor & AAM Borg-Warner EFR turbo kit:

First and last runs on 94. Unfortunately, VTC wasn't functioning, so the party doesn't start until <4000 RPM. On the fix list for next year.

And speaking of GTR Jeff's 2012 GTR Black Ed:

downpipe, injector & intake upgrade improved over last year as well... blue run 94 in 2015, red 94 in 2016 and a fun run on VP 109 in green this year:

Duncan V's 1995 (member 1995ZedX) with the GReddy TD05-16G kit:

Always something to fix (loose plenum grounds, thanks Amateur Z!)

94 run & Q16 fun run!

Jack C's beautiful (and really low) Nismo 370Z with twin-scroll turbo kit

Innovate boost controllers are garbage... we ended up hooking it to the ECUtek controller through the evap connector... much better.

We got him a respectable gain from 2015:

Leigh's 1990 boosted NA engine with Sport 500's:

94 run and VP 109: (and proof that boosted NA engines love octane)

Next up: Iurie R's (member Eagle7) 1990 TT in beautiful BMW Imola red... with custom bug protection from the 7 hour drive over from Saskabush:

First and last runs on 94. We tried to convince him to do a 109 run... next time:

Alright... that car's on backwards....

Gains from tuning the stock Nissan maps with just basic bolt-ons... no FI: (check out the stock Nissan A/F)

And another NA car with bolt-on mods... this thing was LOUUUUD:

Even Seb can't take it:

Not a huge change, the car was tuned last year in Calgary at a fairly decent shop... still:

Dave W's function>form track Z:

yes, the fenders are cut and the overfenders bolted on... some Japanese kit he can't remember where he got it... years before Liberty Walk made it popular :p

Tuned on 94 & 109, both best runs:

Gurdeep D's (member gd300zx) back for glory this year on them loaned G35 skinny wheels:

Gotta document the process :)

Best on 94 & Q16... high score of the weekend and his chart is on next year's t-shirt:

Our first HR twin-scroll boosted 350Z (Darin S.)

The local guy who builds the kits was on hand to see how the HR kit fared. Both he and the owner seemed pretty happy:

Geoff M (member Aniskere) made it up from Cowtown:

And with some pretty solid results over a crappy tune done locally:

Last up was Tim M (member Red Z32TT):

first and last runs on 94 tune for Sport 530's:

Of course by day 4, Amateur Z was getting pretty relaxed:

to the point we were making popcorn and running a horsepower betting pool on the results.

Greg & Seb noticed this and wanted their popcorn too:

By the numbers:

4 days
15 cars
2 late nights
1 front main seal leak
1 tooth off on a timing belt
3 Zeds with loose plenum ground bolts (seriously Amateur Z...)
$ 30.00 CDN won by Seb in the last betting pool (should never let the tuner bet)

Cheers,
