I do have a higher boost setting and of course power level above the 17psi and 67Xwhp,and that was not done on race gas, it was done on pump.

I cant share everything;

Took the car out today it was too nice not to. A few hard stops seemed to scrub whatever was making most of the braking noise go away.

Did some backroad driving, but the sun glare killed most of the video. Here is a vid of a little backroad driving, and then a coworker I took for a ride today. He did good, he didnt say much during the WOT, but after his leg couldnt stop shaking. He had done the Richard Petty driving experience and insisted the Z was faster, but I dont think so. Either way, not a crazy funny reaction but here it is. From now on I'll start recording reactions when I give people rides...

It's fun, I fudged the 4-5 shift - I'm a little rusty, other than getting gas a few minutes last week its been over 1 month since driving it.

BOV = TXS RFL

You are hearing many things, but when WOT the dumps take over.

No time soon

Im enjoying the car prolonging the next inevitable issue that will sideline it. I'm done for a while spending money on it.

Eventually, seats, roll cage, and fresh paint so the body is flawless and it's ALMOST done.
