I only have the UTEC downloadable map so I don't think it's a good idea to boost with GTM Turbo cams and 9.0-1 compression..

Hawaii's roads are so bad that every time my Z goes out it gets rocks chips and in one case a huge rock shown below that hit the radiator (lucky for me the inter-cooler was off). It needs a paint job, body parts and new rims but that will be after the engine work gets done. Anyway because of all that it stays garaged a lot now to prevent anymore damage. Even so tho it took 1 full day and 5 days of maybe 2 hours at a time of work to get it all done and that included getting parts overnight to Hawaii from TN

I couldn't have done this without help from Ed, Reggie, Mia and some board members.

So what exactly did you have done to the motor? What engine management are you going to use?

I'm asking because I want to know if your going for the same setup I have and I would like to know who of the two of us is going to hit higher whp numbers.

There is one issue w/ NO2 on this kit. If you use a wet kit the nozzle should be installed 12" before the throttle body. Problem is, that puts the nozzle in front of the MAF.

Performance Factory should come up with a way of welding a MAF sensor bung of some sort further down the Turbonetics MAF pipe(similar to APS TT) and eliminate the short plastic MAF housing all together.

They don't know it yet but they'll be working out this issue in the next week or so when I take my car there for a tune and clutch.
