Stav I couldnt ask for better service. Thanks so much for pulling that APS kit from the shipping docks in Australia that would have taken weeks to get here, getting it on a plane then personally going to the airport yesterday to pick up everything not to mention walk me through everything I need including hooking me uop with an installer that has done a lot of these APS kits and I have seen some of the Dynos.

Can't wait to get my car my Cavalier sucks so bad now.

Thanks for ths pics Steve and yes this car is faster than I ever imagined. I need to get out to a track to really start appreciating all this.

Joe and Bobby at next level Automotive did a great job on this and are super guys. Car will be getting camber kit soon just ordered the parts today.

Some other bits but you will have to come out to this Saturdays Event at JRP to see.

not building the motor while you're at it? You'll get tired of 400-ish rwhp really quickly...even at 500+rwhp, I got tired of it in a week... I agree with whoever said just get a Z06 if you are playing in that ballpark. More traction = more usable power.

But at 600+ to 700+rwhp...now that's fun . Although still no traction, when you squeeze the throttle, it just pushes your neck back like no tomorrow.

Anyways, props to ya. Way to rep the Canadian scene. And good luck with the build.

Now...just need to go BIGGER...

^^ i agree with nitrouz, it's all fun and games for about a week/month (depending on the individual obviously) but you'll soon get used to the power and want MORE

modding the z is like this never-ending sickness that you feed (both emotionally and FINANCIALLY), which is why i'm probably going to just stay where i am for a while ... then again, 700+ potential hp from the aps extreme kit does sound nice as well

You guys are right we always want more if there is more to have dont we.

The Eng only has 8k on it so it was hard to go straight up for the built eng when its so new already. Plus thats going to add another big bag of cashola.

It started a meet with a fellow Z owners and some wheels. Then it just didnt stop and every time I talk to Steve I get more stuff. LOL.

Anyway cash box is below empty now so its time to take a breath and enjoy a great new car for the rest of the summer.
