My wife was a B cup, and went to a full C after our first kid. I think it was worth it.

+111 I think it has something to do with the UTEC though... never had the prob until going FI.

I dont trust my car for a 2.5hr drive do you seriously think Id drive 10hrs to ZdayZ only to prolly break and be stuck with a towing bill from hell?

B!tch slapping around cars at the airtsrip isnt worth the trouble, I have enough to pick on in the Mid-A

I was going to drive my car down from Canada...but I have the same fear as you I would get stuck in south dakota or some where sh1tty like that

I would catch a flight home and report the car stolen, it would be the only viable option.

Alberto... at what horsepower did you really start breaking things? I'm really starting to think 500whp is what I'm aiming for considering the advice I'm getting from you guys. Lastly what's you out take on the Forged block? I see in alot of guys sigs that they run them, but aside from Cosworth they are the only ones that really offer a good option.

525whp, 494ft/lbs

Standard Forged block seems to be legit

You sound like Jason

When we went two years ago, it was an NA Z and G and two TT'd Zs

One Z got blown turbos on the way up to ZdayZ and Jason's AC line blew. He didn't have any issues last year though.
