As some of you guys already know from Instagram or Facebook I decided to make the trip to ZZP last month. I threw my stock wheels back on and left my place in Pennsylvania around 12 on Sunday afternoon. 7 hours and 450 miles later I was in Michigan. I made one stop for gas on the turnpike in Ohio. Not a bad drive at all. It was all highway and went pretty quick. Couldn't have asked for a nicer day for a road trip. Here's a pic before I left.



I wanted to stop by the shop once I got in Grand Rapids just to get an idea where I'd be going in the morning. I passed it up a couple times, but eventually found it. Guess I should have been looking for this LNF Sedan that was sitting out front. I parked beside it and took a couple pictures. Not sure who the owner is, but it was a clean car. This is the only one I've ever saw other than Brian's (GoodLuckBro) yellow one.



By now you're probably wondering what I drove to ZZP for, right? Well, it wasn't for a build (not yet at least) or anything crazy. I made the trip to get my car dyno tuned. It probably sounds crazy driving almost 500 miles to just get a tune, but I didn't want to do remote tuning. I also needed some time off work and to get away from home for a couple days so it worked out perfect. Not to mention ZZP is one of the only places I'd let touch my car.

I woke up early the next morning since I couldn't sleep and headed over to ZZP around 9 in the morning. I talked to Tim and then went to the gas station. I filled half my tank up with E85 since I was getting tuned on E47. It was time to get on the dyno and turn the boost up. Matt did just that with my car and the stock clutch slipped which I was expecting to happen. So right now it's tuned on low boost until I upgrade the clutch. Here's a pic on the dyno.



The car made 306whp/330whp on their Mustang dyno. I couldn't be any happier with the tune. It feels like a whole new car after being on the stock tune for two years. I've never had any problems with any of the ZZP parts on my car or their customer service prior to the trip. I'm glad I made the drive instead of staying local and can see why guys like Dave (dcrep06) and Ryan (ScytheTheSnake) have no complaints with their ZZP tunes either. Thanks to Tim, Matt, and everybody else at ZZP. Here's the dyno run, hopefully I'll be back soon!

 

I'm thinking about doing the same thing when I decide to get my car tuned, it's about a 5 he drive for me. But from everything I've heard it's worth it.

 

very nice... wish i was closer to zzp

 

I wish I did live a little closer, but it's well worth the drive.

 

Very nice. I would love to do the same seems like a blast. Especially on the ride back.

 

get a clutch in that girl and crank up the boost! Love your car btw.

 

It was, deff fun taking some on ramps going home.

That's the plan! I'd like to get a Southbend Stage 4, some other goodies, and see how close I can get to 400whp on the stock turbo before going bigger. Thanks man.

 

Looks like a good trip, and I've driven further do so similar stuff... so doesn't seem weird at all to me!

 

Nice thread! Neat experience. Now go make some big boy numbers

 

It was deff a nice trip!

What are these big boy numbers you speak of? Lol I wanna see what it makes on a DynoJet!

 

How much boost? HP seems way low on E-47 even with a low boost tune. It is possible to not have any clutch slip on the stock clutch but make close to 360 whp on E-47 just have to have the wg ramp perfect. You can see what it makes on the dynojet up there but I dont think it will make more than ~320 whp 345 wrtq on a dynojet.

 

It holds 19 to 20 PSI and spikes at 22. Yeah, I figure that's about what it'll make on a DynoJet.

 

I went there once it was a good time

 

Hahaha Your experience and mine sound very similar. I passed that place like 3 times haha. by the looks of the dyno it looks like your still in there old shop? Or is that their new shop? How did it look? I live 2 hours from zzp(lucky me) and always leave smiling lol. (Again being similar) They are also one of the few I would EVER let touch my car. Matt and Tim are always my buds when I go there. Tim always has all the answers and Matt is simply the best. He tunes for your cars safety.

 

Yea my tuner is over 450miles away too haha

 

your running low boost on a k04? so your at stock boost then? lol

 

I went to the new shop, but found out they were actually still at the old shop lol

The struggle lol

No, I'm not at stock boost lol

 

Did you go there to get tuned?

 

rahter than running lower boost just make the boost come on slower.

 

This is the trick right here. On e-47 if you get the wg ramp, MALT, etc right you can make close to 360whp and similar torque with no clutch slip.

 

nice...I have a 2015 after taxes appointment with ZZP for some goodies...

 

yup busted a hole on the dyno I knew it was going to happen I just wanted to make it through the summer gapless rings got to love them lol it was not their fault but still a good time

 

What are you getting done?

Lol I bet that was interesting.

 

it was and it was kinda funny watching them go over the tune making sure it was not their fault even after I told them not to worry about it

 

Going LDK........maaaaaaaybe 7163, havent decided yet
