if you compare the upper pix (without spring mod) and the new pix.. you feel that the whole car lowered not only the rear

It could be that the springs settled a little more since those first pics.

And thanks Taryon I agree

Today got my ACT street clutch and act streetlite 16.9lb flywheel installed, along with the ZSpeed csc and the Wilwood master cylinder.

So all engine/powertrain mods are:
-Stillen Gen2 Intakes
-Berk Test Pipes
-Stillen Y Pipe
-Agency Power Single
-ACT Street Clutch
-ACT Streetlite Flywheel
-Uprev Osiris tune

Had everything installed at CIN Motorsports in Charlotte and then let Bobby work his magic..

Ending #s were 303whp & 272 ft-lbs tq

Still breaking in the clutch but man so far it feels awesome! Pedal pressure definitely increased but it's not too bad.

Lol who knows man. If I can afford some rpf1s down the road after I get everything else done to my car then I may do that. But I like these a lot.

Nice setup man. I've always liked the black rims on your car (I even said it if you go back a few pages in the thread). Nice numbers too. I can't even imagine what kind of numbers you'd put down with a TT kit.

Congrats on the HP/TQ numbers...bet that car feels pretty quick. I gotta get a set of test pipes and see what this rev-up motor can do.

Thanks guys ^

I'm ready to get some 4.08s again. I bet it will feel awesome with the new clutch. I was also looking into the Nonstop Tuning lightweight pulleys tonight..

BMurray, wow you are really doing some nice work on that cool Z! You mentioned the 4.08's, but let me throw in the thought of 3.9's! Most of what I've read the 4.08 guys are very happy, plus they are less expensive/easy to get. I have the central 20 3.9's and they are "plenty" rowdy + impressive! *Please keep up the posts about your new clutch setup; I'm looking into possible ZSpeed clutch, flywheel, csc, master combo. I'd like to know how you like the ACT setup that you have because I'm also interested in the ACT flywheel.

Yeah the 3.9s are nice im sure. But I like how the 4.08s kept me right at the top of 4th gear going through the trap in the 1/4. and so far everything is great. clutch pressure almost feels oem since its broken in a lot more. but the pedal doesnt stick at all anymore. it springs back out lol. acceleration definitely increased with the lighter flywheel.

Still have a little more breaking in to do. But maybe 15-20% stiffer?
