Just messing with you.
Don't be mad, I would reset the comp though.
When I race, I don't like racing autos. I would rather race another manual. Let autos race autos, lol. To me it takes more skill with a manual. With an auto you stomp on the gas and hope for the best.

Ill run my auto z against any manual z. If you know how to use the sport shift perfectly it would be close.
So did you reset the ecu?

"We were on the Highway from a 30 punch, i had it in auto-manual. I kinda hit the rev. limiter both times going into sec. but i had him by half a car the 1st race, and the sec. we were side by side, at the most i had a bumper on him."

Injen CAI
UR Crank Pulley
Crawford Plenum (Just Installed)
Is there a way that my plenum hasnt read into the comp. yet? Or is that even true?
And are there "freak" Z's out there?
This really pisses me off and makes me wanna sell my $hit...
BTW mine is an auto and he was a stick...

2. You have an automatic
People have unrealistic expectations from NA mods. you need to get a 25-30hp gain before you will be able to see any meaningful difference in performance. The "heart" of a good NA set-up is really in the cams. Everything else is just icing on the cake. When doing NA mods, ANY weak link will degrade the entire system, and since you are talking about modest gains at best to begin with, any deficient copmponent will drastically hurt performance. This will happen with FI also, but there is so much more overall power, that performance isn't affected nearly as much. If you change ALL the plumbing alone, expect 15hp or so. Reflash the ECU and you will get another 10hp. Add cams/flywheel and you will be good for about a 40hp total gain. That's the best you can do with the stock block and stock compression ratio.
