And I thought rev ups were a little stronger too. I hate seeing pictures like that!

Hard to say if it were a bad tune. It took about 6 months after i had it tuned. I don't drive it everyday tho. Now i did have a oil consumption prob. and at one point it started to get major crank case pressure. So I sure that played a major roll. Finally at my last stages of my build should be driving it in the next week or so for the break in period. I really wasn't impressed with the charger anyway. I did a tt set up this time. Hopefully I'll have a smile on my face with this set up.

my car before this was a mk3 supra turbo, not much power but for me it was awesome. When I got my G I said I wouldn't do anything to it, but I couldn't stay away from the boost. there's something about turbos...it's amazing. good luck.

I had a 300ZX TT back in the day, very different feeling than a blower. I personally prefer it over turbos because I'm more interested in response than max power, but everyone has different needs and wants.

What year is this 350Z?? I also owned a 350Z that was previously owned by Dallas Raines, also with a Vortech Supercharger and Nismo Exhaust. Was it black? Mine was a 2004, and I sold it in 2009 to a pilot in Arizona.
