Default How hard do you drive your Z with FI on a stock block?

just wanted to get some input from people about they're driving habbits as far as how often you are really beating on the car compared to how often you drive it normally. Are you "***** to the wall" most of the time when you're driving it around sop light to stop light? Or do you just occasionally get into it? Also is this your daily driver? or do you just have it as a toy?

On days that I just want to cruise (very rare) I usually stay below 1-2psi (25%) meaning I shift early as long as I can here the blower whine, but my average I shift at around 3-5psi (35%) but I do hit 6-8PSI around (20%) of the time and (20%) of the time I'm not boosting.

After reading this, I just remembered I'm on stock Block so I better cut down on boost By the way I only drive my car on the Weekend

Like somebody said above why spend the money on FI if your not going to enjoy the experience.

as you can tell from the forum name-i cant stay out of boost-everytime i fire that car up i just want to open it up-when i drive the car she sees full boost at least 10 to fifteen times a day-and when my boys come out with me they bring heavy iron so you know i have to open up the vq and represent
