MRC, your smoke under vacuum, could that be because of the type of breather you have on valve covers. Im not even sure what your setup is, but on my 240sx, when I had a vaccuum hose hooked up to the intake, it was just like that. I put a filter on it instead and it stopped doing that. Not really sure how its setup on the Z though honestly.

I would think that if it were oil smoke, its definitely Antifreeze smoke...Very weird...

i go out of town expecting to return and hear of a murder and this is the outcome?! VERY GOOD to see that all animosity was settled on the track and that the human side emerged! KUDOS to both of you... now, julian, when are you going to come down to ATL for a meet?

oh, and sorry...i had to!

If the smoke is that white, then I suppose so. Just trying to think of something that would cause that. Its definitely weird.

Phil,

As your lawyer, I get use of the PBA card 1/3 of the time.

Come on man, tell the truth: you stayed around at the track and the best time slip you could find that someone threw on the ground showed 12.3 at 119.8.........

Does this help people get out of tickets? My friend has a special badge that he received for making a large contribution to the local police association. It's looked pretty neat, and he said it saved him a few times.

Sharif...since this thread is pretty much dead I have a question for you.Does the bottleneck on the Greddy EvoTT really restrict that much flow coming out of a APS 3.5 test pipe? I bought a set off a member and was thinking about "stretching" the bottle neck to 2.75-3" inside diameter.You can PM me the answer if you don't want to post it.

Thanks

In NJ it is considered a courtesy card, It helps out when you are not acting like an azz, like doing 75 mph in a school zone. If you show the card when you get stopped they will ask how you know the person who issued the card ,and if you are only over the speed limit by a liitle bit they usally show the courtesy and let you go without a ticket, or they can take the card and then they are suppossed to send them back to the Officer who issued it but that never happens.Just because you have the card doesnt mean you can break every motor vehicle law.

Thanks
At the low to mid 500whp range on our dyno, I havent noticed any restrictions. I can only speculate, but it might be more of a restriction at the 600whp+ level.
