Message That would give an unrealistic HP number... if he doesn't drive his Z that way, there is no point dynoing that way, as he'll never SEE/FEEL that much horsepower on the road unless he leaves it that way.

I'd recommend cleaning your injector/coil pack connector plugs, changing the oil, and bringing a timing gun. Do a baseline at 15 degrees TDC and see what it puts down. Then do an advance. I did 17 TDC first, then pushed to 18 TDC. I was on '93 octane and it never pinged (but I'm in VA, not TX, a big difference in elevation, temp, humidity, etc...). Try and be realistic about it. If you're going to do all that SirpriZ says, you might get some awesome numbers, but if you then detune it back to the way it normally is, I wouldn't personally consider those realistic numbers. When I dyno's at Stage III+++, I hit 334.5/359.1 hp/tq at 17 TDC. I hit 335/361 at 18 TDC, but I wasn't willing to leave it at that setting... nor did I feel it was worth the extra .5 hp and 2 ft/lbs of tq. Its up to you. But that is what I'd recommend. Also, you might want to go get some Redline Fuel Treatment and add accordingly as the directions instruct. Help to clean the fuel system a little so you won't starve the motor and run leave...

Oh, and this is just my $0.02.
