car looks pretty damn clean there, congrats!
I see the knock sensor tied off on the passenger side there, were you having trouble with the knock sensor retarding timing?
Also, is that plenum modified? I dont recognize the welding on the passenger side near the brake booster vacuum line?
I cant believe how clean the car is... my poor Z would never clean up that good, I drive it and beat on it too much.
BTW, who owns the car? Is FI a partnership or Inc? Just curious cause you refer to it as "our car".

Thanks everyone. 
Charles, good eye: The knock sensor is tied off for testing. I had a bad knock sensor, and replaced with a new one....just havent had time to pull the manifolds to properly mount it. I actually like tuning with the knock sensor detached as it is....the timing tends to be more stable, and as long as its conservatively and thoroughly tuned, there is little danger of knock.
The crud on the passenger side plenum is some glue from a sticker...I asked Andy to photoshop it out...but he forgot..hehe.
The paint is not OEM. It's the OEM color, but the entire car was custom repainted. It has depth and shine that factory paint does not. And no swirls or orange peel.
The car is owned by me, and the company is also owned by me. The "we" is a couple of guys that work part-time, and remotely, and my partnership with the guys at CP Racing. As the only cliche goes, there is no "I" in team, and I have a great group of people that support my business, and help me out immensely.
