Lookin good. I'm interested in seeing how your approach to EMS works out (the one you were talking about at Z Fest). Maybe you will have her running in time for The Run.

How much was the pathfinder cooling mod? Do you think it would help on a stock block car?

Yeah hope to have that going we will see, for the others I am going to give Cobb a try, after seeing the guys tune WRX's I am interested, in the meantime I will do it the ancient way with the emanage and J&S, I have looked at a few different ones but the ECU route really intrigues me.

Hey, I missed you a ZFEST. Someone said you were walking around, but we never got a chance to say hello to each other. Your display car looked great.
Don't remind me mine was suppossed to be there but to no avail.

Sorry I missed you, I meant to come over and say hi but between club stuff, event stuff and vendor stuff it was just too much STUFF, hardly had a chance to sit down plus I was like a zombie after a week of hardly any sleep and working on the Z, maybe SEMA are you going?

It is not much, I think it is a total of about 200.00 and you have to do a couple of mods/reaarangements to make it work.

The ACT Street clutch was fine, I just didn't think it would hold up to the added power, I was trying to stay with a single disk and prferred driveability and after much thought and going back and forth with Clutchmasters I went with the FX400, now that it is in there is so soft that it has me wandering how much it will take, it is softer than stock we shall see.

Still no pics, but I shoud this weekend as I finish up the inside with the gauges since I had to make changes and regroup.

But so far only about 250 miles, it is so hard not to get on her. Still very smooth, no noises and the idle is nice, just a little loapy from the cams and it sounds great, can't wait.

That red plenum looks like my old stock one that I had painted along with other engine parts a couple of years ago. I did a core exchange with Crawford and I wonder if they sold it to you.Interesting....

Not sure where we got the blue vaccum hoses, I just grabbed them from the shelf I will have to find out.
