Congrats and welcome to the club. Enjoy the feeling of being able to throwdown with just about anything else on the street and being able to really hurt their feelings. Definately DO NOT ride in anyone's Z that is faster than yours, it will just lead to more mods and no money.

P.S. - If you see Acree, tell him I said hello.

Bryan, if you didnt buy my Vortech, this wouldnt have been possible, thanks bro. Ride? How about a drive?

Grats right back at ya. I'm surprised you havent posted any vids lately. I always enjoy your spirited driving. Getting the alignment done is priority but I do need to get something wider than the 275's I have now.

See...thats how it starts. First you ask the question...then someone gives you a ride...then you hear the suction sound coming from your wallet

600+whp is a wild feeling....a feeling you will want to have all the time.

Hows your progress?

Yeah I couldnt imagine 600+. I dont know where Im at because I havent tuned for high boost yet. I keep running into random issues. Today my HKS SSQ bov blew of the intake pipe. Now I need to find another oring for it. Plus Im having issues with my Competition clutch. The engagement is always different. Tonight it drove like I had a brand new tranny. The last few days I couldnt get it in gear. ?????????

Did you build the top end; cams, heads? What was your torque #? Just trying to guess where I may be at 12psi.

Seriously just about any kind of tires hook very good with some heavy audio equipment in the back.. I got a buddy with built engine/APS STed G35C with 450whp and has about 140 LBS of audio system in the back.. He uses shiety tires all the time, but hooks so good from the dig...
