Good luck, Jeff
soo Zland did you decide on FI or are you staying NA?

For me. the Z seemed more responsive to throttle input after about 4000 miles of use. It also seems a little more responsive with the VDC turned off.

I am the type of person that likes to research everything before deciding, especially on something like this. I have ridden in or driven in the ATI, Stillen, and Vortech SC'ers and the Greddy TT as well as top NA 350Z's but I am still waiting for the release of the DreamWorkes SC before deciding.

Of course the NA route seems to be the safer choice but it is hard to not to want to extra power the FI kits offer. As time goes by, it seems like everyone is learning more on what not to do with these FI kits as well so the risk level is getting lower. For those that have not been following the on going FI threads, it would be wise to have a device that controls timing if you chooose to push the rpms's beyond the 6800 limit set by Nissan.

Hopefully DW will have their kit out within 2 months and then I will make my final decision.

Dude, I totally hope you took the Z deal. The Cobra may be sweet, but the Z is sweeter....just wait until you accelerate into that curve on the mountain and you feel the Z stick to the road like glue and push you into the seat...you will wonder why the Cobra ever thrilled you.

Hey man I to owned a Cobra at one point, that was untill I rolled it over two highways because it handled, well like a muscle car. Since then I was always afraid of rear wheel drive cars. Untill ZZZZ. This car handles better than any front wheel drive car I've owned and has similar "muscle performance" Cant go wrong with the Z!
