I applaud you for trying to be different,nothing wrong with that!!

Since I'm from Cali were stuck with having to pass smog inspections and every thing usually needs a CARB number to stay out of trouble. I always wanted to go FI so the only real options were Vortech, Stillen, and HKS. Stillen doesn’t seem to have as much potential as the others and HKS has always been hard to come by. That only left Vortech and with so much info on the forum regarding them, it was my best option.

Installed and tuned by Speed Force Racing
V3 Vortech
440cc injectors
3.12 pulley
255 walbro
SS box
plenum spacer

Very nice progression op! I bet that Vortech makes mashing the gas pedal enjoyable!

Thanks!
I still havent really got on it. Its only driven on the street so I dont want to be know as "that guy," you know...an idiot driver

Hopefully when I get some time off work/school I'll try a local track where they have drag races. Should be fun

Have you thought about CF brake and battery covers? I would recommend blue silicone hoses, radiator and oil caps, and polished tanks if possible.

Fontana or Irwindale should be opening up soon for drag racing! But those few times where an on-ramp romp is needed! There are some guys here like Terrasmak that know about all the track events in CA, especially at Willow Springs! Have fun with the new power!

Yup, on-ramps have been fun so far

I have but I dont like the current options out there. I want a full replacement similar to these on the 370, where its the removable cover and the trim in one piece. I think this looks cleaner


I might have someone lined up to make them for me but I just havent really looked into it. Hmmm...maybe now with tax season coming around

Default Lights and bolts

little update since I had some free time

OEM LED tails I picked up a little while back from NoQuestionZ. I was taking my time trying to get my original lights off, after ten minutes and not budging I just yanked them out and broke some of the tabs. They were a b*tch to remove...or maybe Im just a girly man?






Then my little ricer mod. A DECAL!
The good thing is this decal is hidden from most people


Had these Password JDM bolts laying around for a while and finally put them to use
License plate bolts


Diffuser bolts

I hear ya! Cali smog is the only reason why I didn't go turbo. Only other option is to get an old Z/Datsun to be smog exempt but I don't have the patience to take on a project like that any time soon.

Yeah these Recaro's are real comfy yet snug. Id say these are a good seat that someone could use on a daily basis and still be held in place on a track.
