Here's my story:

I've considered literally EVERY FI kit for the 350Z and therefore couldn't make up my mind on any.
I've spent too much time seriously reading into horror stories and got freaked out about boosting (any kind of boosting) stock VQ.
I've considered setups to be able to keep up with the Joneses and got turned off b/c of potential 30-35K engine build bills.
I spent so much time reding about others' project I was convinced that the real fun starts at 600whp.

There are a few more things that I am overlooking.

I'm feeling better now though.... If I ever get back in the mood for FI I will just show up at the tuner's with the money in hand let him put the setup together on a defined budget.

My wife complains about the same thing and I always ask her if she would perfer for me to be at the strip clubs getting drunk. That always shuts her the *** up. At least she knows I am home and not trying to stick my pecker in other women.

She calls all you guys (my350z members) my little girlfriends. She gets so jealous of my car and this forum because of how my time I devote to both.

Better yet, we'll send them off somewhere gay, and we'll just go to Vegas, rent fast cars, go to strip clubs, and get drunk, not necessarily in that order.

APS TT kit is perfect. I've had ZERO issues driving the car daily when I still didn't crash lol . . . . or GReddy kit . . . or SFR . . . or PE . . . . everything except JWT IMO. Screw ST kits . . . . lol.
