Default Another Highly Satisfied Forged Customer

Well I finally took the FI plunge and I have to say that it was well worth it. I had been looking around and debating back and forth between kits until I decided on the Greddy. I am going to build in December so i think Greddy twins were the obvious choice. Then Sharif came out with the stage 3 package so I jumped on it. Plus I was going to Forged Performance anyway so it worked out great!

I can't say enough about the whole Forged team. Ever single one of them were great and it's no suprise why they keep getting new customers as well as old ones coming back. They took me and my girlfriend to and from the hotel since we were carless! I also had the oportunity to eat dinner with Sharif. He is a real stand up guy to say the least. And I dont think i have ever gotten more food for the money than I did at Marrieta Dinner? It was great.

Now for the car! The final number swere like 382.7/375 I think. I have the charts at home and can post them later. Very satisfied with the numbers, especially on his dyno! Power is very smooth and the car runs really strong. I am 100% happy!

Sorry for the crappy camera phone pics! I was in a hurry. I can post some better pics later.

you need to stay longer, after you spend 2 days on the waiting room couch, he will offer some mc donalds, you have to hold out though.

IMO going FI is totally worth it. Just keep the boost low and it will last you a long time. Just make sure a shop has experience on the Z.
