I also cant buy into ATI's bs that the system is for a stock Z and any modifications can cause problems with running lean..So what they are telling me is that if I put on a free flowing exhaust to vent the gases better that I will blow my engine ...That seems that the system is running on the absolute edge of safety as it is..?This concearns me..I am one who agrees that there should have been more R&D before releasing this kit and maybee they rushed it to the market and squeezed every ounce of HP out of the Z just to get an advantage on the other companies..But I really cant complain for the price I paid for my kit Thanks DEL...

I am sorry to hear that someone in the group for the CT dyno day, had a blown motor. It is unfortunate and depressing news. And, I agree with you that it would be most beneficial if the community, this community is matured enough to sit down in an open dialogue on how one can improve the odds and make the industry, not just ATI, the entire aftermarket industry take serious notice of their bread and butter, their market.
