I dont know if you have to go to forged to do that. a local tranny shop should be able do it for you as well.
Thats true.....There is a shop in north Houston called Jtrans....

Mark was known for not connecting the knock amp to the fcon which completely defeats the purpose of having it. Rememer Gman guys? This was over 3 years ago when SGP was supposedly legit.

Definately suggest the checkout. Email me a parts list to Sharif@Forgedperformance.com

Wow....I wonder how he sleeps at night. That is about as bad as you can get if you really think about the deception and implications

take it to sharif. You will not be dissapointed! I am in baton rouge and i have made that drive 3 times and it has been worth it everytime. Just make sure that you leave the car with him for a few weeks because unexpected stuff always seems to come up when you do a rushed trip

Back to the dyno real quick, that doesn't look like one from SGP. I know SGP has been using the Dynapack since 2005, so I'm pretty sure that tune wasn't from SGP. Great to hear that you're gonna vist FP and another great choice if you have issues is JTran.

You might go to www.gatewayzclub.com. There is a thread about this car. It apparently belonged to a guy by the name of Tim Smith from Northern Arkansas. The thread was started by Lt.Dan and he might be able to give you more information or give you contact info for Tim Smith. This Z has apparently been shown several times around Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas.

either way, he is not out of harms way just yet guys. I am glad he is finally taking the steps to properly having the car inspected by a VQ expert. For some reason, I doubt you did a leakdown/compression test on this year. Also, please follow everyones advice by having your transmission inspected thoroughly.
