Default Got lots done to my car and getting results today!

As I stated in my introduction thread in the main area I am new to this forum. I have owned my Z since 04' when I bought it new. I recently retired from the U.S Army after 20 years of service.

As of 2 weeks ago my car was 100% bone stock. As a retirement gift my wife took my car to a body shop to get fixed. Had a spider crack in the front bumper from someone bumping it. Was there for 1 1/2 weeks, but little did I know she got that fixed and her friend at the shop went ahead and made some mods for me. I was so shocked saturday when I got it back I couldn't believe what she had done. She is great, I mean to stick with a soldier for 20 years proves she is a great woman, but this totally shocked me.

Not only did she have my car done for me she made ma a appt at a local shop to have it put on the dyno, I have to go there today in a couple hours.

I now have the following mods:
-Nismo catback exhaust
-test pipes
-pop charged with z tube
-plenum spacer
-nitrous express wet kit
-19' wheels
-tien springs
-stillen sway bars

Sorry for the long post, I can't remember when I was so excited.

That dyno is corrected to simulate Djynojet numbers-and it seems like its oversimulating fyi(you will dyno way lower on a Dynojet)-not downplaying your nice story and awesome wife. Congrats on everything, have fun with the nitrous!

You got a good wife there, mine wouldn't know a catback from a dogback. Congrads on the retirement, I retired with 20 in 2003, I'm from Illiinois also. Waited till I got out to get my Z. Keep up the good work!
