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.

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?

Custom 3" test pipes
Added a second wideband o2 sensor
JWT Oil Pan spacer
Oil and water temp gauges
In cabin Fuel pressure gauge
Wasgtegate relocation kit
Wastegate 11 psi springs

And still to install Snow Performance methanol injection kit and Greddy catch can.

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....
