yeah, i thought about that... but, i can handle repainting a front bumper... 300$ for a repaint is much better than ending up like sharif and ripping pretty much all of your body kit off on the track... *haha*

LOL...I am now on 100% stock body parts, so I should be good to go at the track. OEM is much more forgiving.

Just put Ron's steering wheel in your car and it will be perfect! That is the finishing touch that it greatly needs........and a paint job.........and a few more things but we can talk about that in person.

Yes, the process of modding can indeed be very satisying.

But the same will happen with a Viper too if you just drive it around town.

I say take it out on the road course. Its a 1/2 hour rush per session that will amp you out with a big time adreanaline high.

Its awesome.

never heard of it... who makes it? what diameter?

the only way you're going to see 700whp is to add a Blow Off Value and twin turbonators... hopefully you have the time and money to get this done before the dyno day...

I really hate to see you want to go that route. I sometimes almost feel that way, but I quickly bounce back. I guess I also like all the attention it gets. Great looking car though. You two made a great couple, LOL.

Luckily I just went to autozone and they had 2 turbonators for the z in stock!! I asked if they had a blow off value and they said they never heard of that part.. I laughed at them and said.. huh.. wtf u guys are dumb!! stormcrow knows his **** u SOB! Then I stormed out the store.. and what did i know but a crow flew right bye me(ironic)..

BTW Xo2 is made by HKS.. diameter is 5"
