Cool ZZTOP@ Dynocomp APSTT

6:30 p.m. Friday night Im hanging out at DynoComp is Scottsdale, AZ and there is this beautiful (except the bearskin seats ) PPW 350Z that is just being finished after days of work.

It had an APSTT.....and was done CLEAN.
This morning I went there to baseline dyno before my SC install and I met the owner. It was ZZTOP from here! Cool guy and he even let me take a ride in it.....
He didnt even "get on it" and the power was amazing.
I must say the quality of the APS kit looked first class and I even bought the oil pan to use for my Vortech install after seeing it in person.

ZZ...CONGRATS! Beautifly done and thanks for letting me take a ride in the beast!!!!

No problem......and by the way, those aren't bearskin seat covers. They're made from the pube shavings of Las Vegas strippers.

Great meeting you.....let me know when you're coming to Vegas.

Is it retarded fast? I guess the measure would be if you're cruising in second gear (not shifting) and punch it, will it lose some traction on slicker concrete when the boost builds?

Traction???? What's that?????

Actually, my Toyos put the power to the pavement pretty well, but I think I can break it free in almost any gear. I really haven't driven it enough (300 miles of freeway doesn't tell you much) to say anything with authority, but it's as fast as you would want it to be....believe me.

My N/A bolt-on Z loses traction when I nail it in second on anything but perfect pavement...not a very good measure of power.
