Perhaps you should take some responsibility here for what you are asking and how people are responding.
Granted, people lash out all too easily on the net but if you asked that question in the pub, we'd all just laugh at you and keep taking the **** for months on end.
Don't worry, live and learn

If you take 30 sec to google this, you wouldnt have had the need to ask. We like to help those who helps themselves. No free meal here.

I was originally asking NOT because I NEED it but because with Traction control off, if I stomp to the floor it I don't even spin tires like other stock Z's I have seen i'm wondering if they are doing something I don't know about or I have a seriously beat Z with issues all I have done is k&n drop in,Castrol gtx 5w30,Castrol (Jmatic safe) trans fluid top off,Vp racing fuel additive then a tank later berryman B-12 Chemitool fuel treatment. I did add these to 87 E gas what could it be??? i'm thinking of changing the plugs out any advice? (124k miles 2005 5at)

yea... looking back... I should have just asked the main question I had instead of beating around the bush because It makes me look like I constantly abuse my car which I don't but after noticing a slight loss of power I started to dabble in the throttle more and more realizing there's not much to dabble with bringing me to the question (Is it me? or is it the Z?.)
