Todd..... huge congrats.

And no doubt, Sam is INSANE (in a good way). He's like an encyclopedia Efayicca.

Not making fun of you Sam...laughing with you!!! Love you like a brother
Yep, got me laughing... that sounds exactly like Sam..

What up Todd?

Looking good...

Wanted to thank you for trying to help us last week in New Mexico after burning my power steering pump after drifting..

FYI: Was replaced, adding an LSD, and was at Irwindale today with DriftDay.com

It was awesome.

Congrats, lets see what you can do with that motor.

Willow Springs this weekend with Speedventures.com

ANYONE?

Talking some videos we took today..in 100degree weather mind you

the videos don't do it the justice...the power just gradually throws you back more and more as the rpm's climb...very stable, powerful setup

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/6...c51c1b3158.htm

more for the sound of the car, difficult to gauge speed by a flyby

Thanks Todd and MrTomcat,

To Have Fun Will Travel...

We were also just at Irwindale thjis past Sunday for

www.DriftDay.com

If you have never Drifted, really Drifted your Z and G, it is amazing.

Close to the Rush of passing a Ferrari or new Z06 on a roadrace track.

Awesome... Takes alot of practice and skill yet once you do it, like shooting a hole in one on the golf green.

Interested in where you mounted the meth injection and what size is the bottle? If i missed it in any previous post, my apologies. I come from the Evo world where a meth kit is as common as an intake, but don't see much about it here on these boards. What's your thoughts on a meth kit for a nearly stock Greddy set up? IMO, you can never have too many safety nets, but is there a point where it's just a waste of money if I plan to run stock boost on my stock block? Keep in mind that i only have access to 92 oct (sometimes 91 is the best i can find) here in North Dakota.
