3.9 and Cams with install are up there with a Turbonetics ST...
3.9 w/ an aftermarket LSD!

I'm waiting for reviews on the quaife (and more than 1 person w/ them installed) before i decide on which LSD to go after... but im thinking about getting the 3.9FD along w/ the LSD to save money.

If you dont mind, how much was your header install? Im interested in getting headers (espafter that video) but if its anywhere near as much as the LSD/3.9FD, i'd rather get that first.

Header installation was $300, but $400 is more like it. I got a little hook-up.

Because he was there

If you're gonna go ST, then put in a ECU with it. Ever wonder about a built in radar/laser jammer. I belive they're legal in Texas. You might need it for the next run.

Some of the best "mods" that you can ever do isn't necessary on the vehicle. These will not only allow you to enjoy your Z but other vehicles as well. You want quick acclerations? Want your car to handle like a ferrari? Want to look good in your Z? Wants chicks to dig you? Your car can already do that bone stock, but can you?

Try taking lessons at race tracks if you haven't already done so.

No dynomat, but when you're inside it sounds great... outside, I haven't heard yet.
