That's nothing.
Chuck Norris blew his engine at the starting line. He then pushed his car to a 5 sec 1/4 mile, after which he proceeded to round-house Alberto.

And then Mr. T pitied Chuck Norris until he couldn't take anymore, thus resulting in a huge loss of torque in his Z for some reason. And then Bruce Lee jumped in and owned everyone, including Mike Tyson.

Dude. A RSX with the ATC Motorsport Chip would smoke 99% of the cars out there. A RSX with ATC Chip and I/E/H would smoke 150% of the cars out there.

i'm a big fan of sts style kits, they do indeed work great, and turbo lag is a myth . can't wait, i'm definitely considering purchasing just because these kits are easy to install compared to others.i have made a custom one for my mazda, so i know its efficient and easy.

think of how long and complicated that ic piping would b. throw off the response quite a bit. i kno the corvette setups ic is in the rear, would the z's b? or would it b up front w/ sum long as piping going down 2 the exahsut (assuming the turbos mounted right after the cat? or maybe near the exhaust tip)

Why wouldnt it be in the rear? Everybody gets down on these kits because they dont know any better. Many successful minimal lag STS kits on the market, what makes anybody think it wont work well on a Z when its released? Im waiting for results...

I could just mount my intercooler under the car and have even less piping! I have actually already thought about this......

As I said before, the Z is rather short and the the motor sits pretty far back, so there may not the THAT much longer of piping...

The problem is that a lot of people feel that paying someone to install a generic FI kit makes them an FI expert, profficicent enough to argue and judge professional tuner and turbo system desgners... Which leads to some rather funny conversations...
