Yeah seriously I wonder who will be next....

12.5 isnt bad at all Joe. With a set of slicks you shouldnt have issues hitting 11's with that healthy trap...

I thought there was issues with APS 3" Dual exhaust mating to the AAM 3" TB test pipes, good to know it'll bolt right up Great #'s

Yup, they bolt right up. You might have to oval your downpipe flange mounting holes, if AAM didnt do it already.

Now getting the dumps to "bolt right up" is another story...

Now that we finally got these freaking wastegates off, we can take a look at the stock clutch, willing to bet there is not much left of it!

I ran my stock block at 10 PSI myself... I am sure you will be very pleased with what you can get out of it with Sharif's tune.

Good luck and enjoy...

Ha! When I installed my PE kit the turbos were moded with 10ish PSI springs (I did not know that), so my boost controller is off right now. I am going to 11PSI. I dont drive my car everyday only on Weekends and drag strip here and then. Plus I think Sharif can round up my lost ponnies that went to the 11psi ranch.

Default some more pictures from today...

We will just have to see what happens at 10psi first... We are hoping for a decent gain by just switching out the engine management. I should also gain a few horsepower with the 25lb lighter ATS clutch setup over stock..

Here are a few more (camera phone) pics from today... Making progress!

I was just telling Joe the same thing. He is the first yellow Z we have had in the shop, and it matches, oddly, in a strange kind of way.

Default Bigger Picture Time!!!

OK guys, Sharif busted out the Nikon for your viewing pleasure... But I am having trouble figuring out how to use this thing and get the file size under the 185kb limit for uploading... I ended up compressing the images, but they aren't much bigger than before! If you click on the image it gets bigger, but not that much bigger, sorry! I promise before I leave here we will have some good BIG pictures of the car and shop, Sharif may have to post them for me.

We are just about finish getting all the parts on, so we sould be dyno tuning the car very soon... I am excited to see how much Sharif can improve on my base line! Should be interesting!
