I don't believe I said anything negetive about Rob and Zcargarage. Please excuse me everyone. I should have realized more that that comment would have made some of you upset, especially Rob. I can tell you that I do know Rob and I like him & Dan & Rico. I know they have some FI out there and that is very good. But what I was thinking when I wrote that is I know Ted's background and I know that marluci just spent an unGoddly amount of money with Ted. If you were to give both Rob and Ted an equal amount of money to build a turbo motor for the same application they would not make the same choices, it just would not happen. I know Ted as an engine builder in every sense of the word. As I stated before he did learn from the best, and that is true.
I sincerely appologize, Rob. I did not mean to take anything away from you and I should have been more tactfull in that statement and I really should not have said that at all. I wish I could take that back. But to everyone I do know the guys at Zcargarage and they are all are quite capable with your Z, whether it be a 240 or a 300zxTT or a 350Z. I wouldn't worry if I took my Z to them and neither should you.
And also, for those of us who live in the Bay Area region of Ca., it is great for us to have two fine Zcar specialty shops to choose from. And isn't it just great that one of them will now have their own Constant Load, Non Variable, Magnetic Resistance Dynomometer and a trained technician who actually knows how to use it? We are truly blessed! Major high 5's for ZCARGARAGE and SCOTT PERFORMANCE!!

+1 for that comment...

Marin - I hope you bring your Z to the track: the one with turns! There are a bunch of events over the next 6 months, hopefully you can represent the Z-crowd with your new digs.

Later,
SS

Car is back at the shop for bigger injectors, new better cams, 23 pounds of boost, and methanol injection.... dont have any numbers yet but it should be good... If you want information on how this boost was reached you need to call ted at scott performance @ (408)988-2233....

Yes I am using the UniChip still. I am sorry but that information is for Ted and his customers only. If he is willing to describe to people how he did this then that is his choice. So feel free to give him a call and I am sure he would love to hear from you.

I saw your car at Ted's shop when I dropped mine off for APS TT install, SP Cams, and SP 3'' Exhaust, Defi Boost / Oil Temp. guages and JWT Clutch. I looked inside your car to get an idea of where my gauges will actually be positioned. I got a laugh over your licence plate
I plan on the methanol injection before next summer when my wallet can recover some. I'm sure my car will keep me thrilled until then. My first Turbo car....can't wait. I can't believe I'm saying this already ...but..I MISS MY Z. Been a whole two days since we parted.
