Updated Pic's Since The Last Round Of Mods.
Oh yeah bye the way the exhaust is a custom 2.5" setup with a cross over intermediate pipe, strup cans, 2.5" APS test pipes and stillen headers. exhaust fabricated by GTM. it is loud as F'uck!!!!!!!!! maybe to loud for my taste.....but it performs well.

where in vegass are you? im staying in henderson with my buddy all weekend.. driving out there tomorrow night... i would LOOVE to see that beast in person!
i live out near summerlin. if you want to check it out just shoot me a pm and maybe we can meet up somewhere. there is actually a pretty cool place over in Henderson called the hotrod grill that could be a meeting place. my scheduel is pretty clear for friday. i will probably do some drinking later on at my buddys place.

here is a before pic if anybody cares. i set the car up this way two weeks after i bought her brand new back in 2005. the car was still NA at this point but the SC was on order.

black cooler is a stillen unit ( main oil cooler ). silver cooler is a unit i put together myself ,it is a supercharger oil cooler. it cools the supply oil just before it enters the supercharger. as far as i know i am the only one who has ever done this on a z and it works pretty damn good. the intake tube i fabbed myself using some 3.5 dia aluminum tubing with aircraft scat tubing and at the end i installed a velocity stack.
You sir have a SICK looking Z. Cwest has the some amazing body
