What the hell! you got your car back before I did? my car only needed a new tune and meth installation...almost 4 weeks out
hope to hit 400whp at 9psi with the new tune. Congrats!. Take some pics of the new set up and post your dyno graph bro.

?? Fail what ??
You yourself should know that your bike is faster, and was more cheaper than your TT setup. Just helped make my point. Some people don't want to drop the amount of money it takes to make the Z a 500HP car, cheaper to buy a Vette.
Too bad you can't drive either one of your toys year around.

Results look great and I'm sure you'll love it.
As for everyone else, why do you feel the need to **** on anyone who doesn't go twin turbo? Believe it or not some people are truly happy with a certain power level. Quit going off topic and give the guy a break.

Not at all, the OP said what he was going with and everyone jumped on his case about what he should do with his money. I think before anyone jumps into FI, they should have a set amount to be prepared to spend. Many people don't realize the size of the price tag that comes with building up a Z motor to hold huge power.
If the OP is content with a HP range in the high 300s then thats great. Nothing wrong with that.
Other people like you may want more power, whether by choice or blown motor as in your case, and dont mind spending the money it takes to make a 500+HP Z.

Because many of people go with a SC with intent of being happy with the result and sometime down the road upgrade to twin turbo. Me being one, just hate to see it happen again and again

^I hate to agree (TN owner) but your statement is right, Boost is addicting. I decided to go with TN since I can easily install it and I thought 400whp is too much If I had to do it again today I'll go twins or PL kit.

why not have a 600 whp car and 170 whp motorcycle bike if you can afford it?
the joy of having a 600 whp car is that when i get off my bike.. i can still kill 98% of the cars on the road.. and i never have to think when i pull up to a fast car .. damn.. i wish i was on my bike

Have you stopped to consider that maybe he chose to go with a Vortech after the Stillen because Stillen and Vortech are the only CARB legal options that we have in Cali?? I know that I would be TT if it wasn't for CARB. But the fines/penalties and having to remove the T/TT if you get caught is not worth it IMO. With the Vortech, at least you get the CARB Exempt plaque on the charger. There is NO T/TT kit that is legal in Cali and that affects many people's decisions when it comes to FI. Nice way to OT the guys thread too btw.

To the OP, hope you enjoy your new set up.
now we have cleared up the fail comments..
you took the topic off its course when you mentioned a bike and TT setup.. please pay attention to what you are doing.. it will clear any future confusion..
if it were a numbers game to me.. my car would be 700whp or 800whp.. nice try though.. my car is considered mild Build numbers.. lots of cars here with way more power.. the power numbers i have desired are based on cars i expect to run into on the street and how i wish the outcome will be determined.. its never about numbers.. its about performance..
if you paid enough attention.. you will notice i dont go off on rants.. i argue opinions and in the rare occasion i am wrong.. i will admit i am.
Thank you for playing

Any FI thread w/o going OT is boring
BTW: People in cali worried about CARB? aren't most of us running no cats anyways?? 99% of the time if you get pulled over by POPO they will not stop giving you a ticket just because you have a "CARB legal" mod. They can still give you a ticket for "modified engine" citation...
