Default MY CAR IS RIGHT...finally------------->

so guys (and girls):
i got my car back, finally...many of you knew of my drama and helped me along the way in ironing out all the kinks.
i did have a boost leak...
now i'm running 6lbs...was dynoed at 416.6hp 405 tq (sae)...guessing thats actually 340hp w/ my altitude (5000ft)

still.. very very fast... i can't imagine you guys with 600hp built z's... i lose traction all the way through 2nd gear w/ ease... i still have stock tires (i really NEED new wheels now-->more grip)

i will build my engine early next year... hope to have a 550 hp bulletproof motor!

thanks for all the support...

Dr T! Let me know when your gunna build up that engine. I want to do the same thing & maybe we can get a better price. Good to see your Z is finally all yours. Pick mine up today. Hopefully it will be complete. Getting the R4 program with Denso Iridium plugs and Stillen Headers. (crossing fingers)

bldrz:

i was told the boost leak was a result of one of the sleaves not being properly fitted on all of the way... they said it was on one of the harder bends in the kit?? sorry i dont have more info

also...my A/F is a solid 12.0-12.1 across the board
