yh, supercharged and 12 psi. I can go to about 14 psi with out modifying the stock blower snout. Want to see how much power I can get out of this blower and stock casing. I think I am almost at the point. Either bigger cam or better blower is next. I rather not go turbo, my car they don't sell a twin turbo kit. They do have 1 big turbo, but I rather not have the lag

I mod so I can catch a little of the feeling I used to get when flying the jets (Uncle Sam says if you get too old he won't let you play with his toys any more). That beast in my avatar was by far the best.

As to the wife, (yes, she is the Lady Jax) she actually pushes me to do more modding for the 'giggle factor' (and she told me to stop lurking with her i.d. and get my own since she has gotten too busy lately to post).

Here is a little sample of our holiday labors and new bits installed

Enjoy, guys!

I went FI because I wanted to prove something to the Corvette (new ZO6 guys) crowd at my road race club that in their hands a ZO6 aint ****....

Point proven....But payback is a Bit@h though....they have now prevented me from ever entering another Road Race/ Time Attack event at that track unless I enter in the Open Class arena with all the race built cars...

The "G" will be retired to auto shows only after GdayZ... I mean ZdayZ

BTW.....GIVE JULIAN PROBATION

The only reason I have ever done anything to my cars is because it is th only thing I have ever felt like doing. It just feels right. dont know how else to explain it.

Did you say snout I think at 14psi it will be pretty hard for you to loose to somone on the street unless the person that pulls up next to you knows that your not stock as your car dipicts

Can you ever have too many tools/toys?

Hers (Lady Jax) is a silver G35 Coupe. So far she has resisted getting SC'ed because 'I'd lose my license in the first day'.

You will not hear a difference while I am driving. If you pull up next to me and you think I am stock, you have no business next to me. Yes there is always a dumbass that cuts me off enough or rides my *** enough to **** me off enough to unleash the beast

Fixed, hehe, i actually got a good set of runs in with a stock yellow C6 Z06 when i was on 15 pounds on the street. i could run a little more as long as i wasnt going through first gear. we did a third through 5th gear roll and i put a car a gear on him. i could not believe how fast that car was too, just stock.

can you imagine buying a nice stock car that was as fast as yours there bert. its just crazy for 70,000 dollars.
