Thanks for the pics. That orange Z is an art object if I have ever seen one.

The vegan thing threw me, tho. If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?

hahah, this is turned into a bodybuilding/vegan discussion... I am vegan for several reasons... I don't want to take away from this thread, but in 100 words or less: uneccessary killing in unjust, factory farming has taken over the agribusiness, animal cruelty is normal practice in today's farming methods... it is a much healthier choice; several studies proving increased incidence of heart disease and cancer with an animal based diet (significantly reduced in a vegetarian/vegan diet-studies seventh day adventists-primarily vegan and other non meat eating cultures)...and environmental ipmacts...I figure I have to do something if I'm gonna only get 2 miles to the gallon

There is a pic of it on our new dyno in the "Other" Forged Performance Annoucement thread.

Todd, how did my car feel at 7.5psi with the Mareli controlling the engine?

Looks fun.

We actually need to start organizing regional meets that can get all of us together. Maybe 2 a year and have a blast.

Unfortuantely the clutch wouldnt hold. Mike had some previous installation issues with his ATS clutch, and we spent a lot of time sorted some boost issues.

Unfortuantely, the big numbers will have to wait.

[QUOTE=Gman2004]Yeah when god was handing out genetics for calves I got out of line. No matter what I do they won't grow. I use to ride 30 miles a day every day on my bike and work them out and still Noting.....Except for a few veins running through them. I just hired a professional body builder as my trainer and nutritionists. Things are gonna change!

Calves are genetic so no matter who you hire, unfortunately they will never match your upper body.Can you say IMPLANTS.With all that Miami Money implants is a drop in the bucket.Very Nice Car by the way.

Little did I know I'd be up until 4:30am each morning, working on cars

Great seeing you guys!, kinda wished I lived closer, but its not going to happen. Jorge, your car is insane! (GMan came up from Florida, his car was tuned to an amazing zero correction factor dyno dynamics number of 510rwhp--feels like 600whp!!! ) at 15psi Funny how the first few minutes into our cruise around town (at 140+ on the fwy mind you) an unsuspecting mustang thought he could hang...verdict= he couldn't

Sam: I hope you actually get some sleep tonight, I'm sure you are exhausted, you traveled to tune some fcons and ended up getting even less sleep than when you pull 7 day a week all nighters back in Cali. "It's not really an isshue"

Ok, anyway, here's some pics of the shop...should have taken more pics, maybe next time...

Super protein... Jorge, get back in the gym, think about it this way, if anyone beat you street racing, you can always eat them


Sharif and Sandilicious (Thanks for picking me up from the airport Sandy and taking me to find vegan food )


If you live anywhere east of the mississippi, you need to go here:

Forged Performance


Dyno Dynamics load dyno...this is the newest version, does some cool stuff that makes tuning that much more precise






Forged Performance comes with their own import models:






Thanks again Sharif for having me out, it was tiring, lots of work, but I had a great time... we'll do it again really soon!

-TODD
