People on the forum started calling the INFINITI emblem "Mt. Fuji" for as long as I can remember. Fuji, for short. AFAIK, those are the two interpretations: open road to the horizon, and Mt. Fuji. There's a third, less common interpretation, representing a missing slice of pizza.
And then there's the Pac-Man theory...

I still like to believe the Infiniti emblem represents Mt. Fuji though.

So at the end of the day I put down 308rwhp and 250lb/ft and the car runs good and strong. Throttle response is a lot better and the car sounds completely different. Guess that's from the change in timing. Shift points are a little harder and now I have valet mode, not that I'll ever use it lmao. Comparing to my 370z tuned via uprev, ecutek is better for sure. Highly recommend it. Unfortunately I didn't pick up as much as I thought I would with the intakes and tune. But I put down 6 more hp in hotter weather compared to a 2011 g37 sedan with FI CBE, HFC, and z1 intakes. So maybe my hopes were too high lol. What do you guys think about the numbers? Here are some pics.

Nice numbers.
I didn't realize you were local. Any particular reason you chose Soho over Motion Lab? Nice to know I have multiple options should I ever decide to get tuned or want someone to do an install for me.

RZG Motorsports in New Bern is another place. Really small shop, but the guy that works there is very knowledgeable when it comes to the VQ platform. His FI 350z builds are impressive.

The dyno shows two runs... is that two runs back to back?
You should ask them to email you the runfiles and then use the WinPep Dyno Run Viewer
(http://www.powercommander.com/downlo...2_Install_.zip)
to plot your before and after graphs and further analyze your dynos.
It looks like your tune (or more accurately a re-calibration) has leaned the AFR to high 12s, low 13s at WOT.
Stock (at least on my car) is low 12s. The leaner mixture results in a little more power.
Thanks for posting your dyno!

As for the graph, that's not my before and after. This was copied from the original post:

Decent numbers but tough to compare numbers with different variables... another 3 weeks til my fast intentions order comes in and I am growing impatient lol. Have other parts waiting so I only book the lift one weekend.
2.25" CBE / 18" inline / RHFC
Hotchkis Sways F/R
Stillen Crank Pulley/Belt
Red Grounding Kit
RJM CPA
Can't decide on coil brand.. need summers/rims but it's tough to choose an offset without knowing the drop

Wow. That's a busy weekend. Have you put any time estimates on all that?
I'll take a whack, with numbers pulled out of thin air...
Sways... 2 hours
Cats... 4 hours of abject frustration
Catback... 2 hours
Crank Pulley... 3 hours
RJM pedal... 4 hours
Grounding kit... 1 hours

Holy sheep ****. Is the crank pulley swap really a 3 hour job? What makes it so time consuming?

I think the cats ,catback, and RJM are a little off. He has a 13' so there is a good chance the cats can be done quickly; My cats were done in less than an hour. The catback can be done easily in an hour as well. If he has the RJM v3, it takes a good chunk of time away with the pre-assembly.

And yeah on the other jobs. Always best to round up which it looks like you did.
JMO but i think the crank pulley swap would have a better/bigger impact on the 7AT than the 6MT. Not that it wouldn't benefit the MT.
I did the 3 piece pulley swap on my Mustang, crank, water pump, and alternator, and it was a solid mod. Noticed much better throttle response but honestly couldn't tell you if it helped in the HP/TQ department....
