Talking Sign me up!

This all sounds good. Sign me up. I feel I am having some performance issues and maybe the Dyno will give me an idea if anything is wrong. I only have a stock Z though.

You think headers will give you that much more tq than me? And why would I have higher hp than you?

BTW, I'm going to Texas Motorplex this Friday if you wanna come.

Nah man, I'm definitely not wasting that much gas and money. I might goto Kennedale soon though.

But about the torque, because you lost some with the bottom plenum, and I have a HUGE kick in the pants around 4krpm compared to before. With your plenum, the upper HP will be greater. We'll see. It's all speculation.

Personally, I think my exhaust with its 3 inch piping took away all my tq down low. MREV2 felt as if it added a little, if any, but didn't take away any power. MREV2 isn't supposed to lower tq or hp anywhere, anyway.

I'll still be going to this to hang out, but I don't plan on running my car.

And ZOS guys, I'll put this in a very nice and friendly way. Quit invading these forums to promote your club & your site. In other words, please stop high jacking every non-ZOS related thread in the Texas forums to do recruiting. Just send some PM's to perspective members if you want them in your club.

Threads get off topic all the time (nearly every one of them), but the ZOS guys are always mentioning ZOS and referring people back to "their" forum and away from this one.

I like ZOS, but invading every thread to mention the club, the next show or the number of trophies on your shelf gets redundant for some of us. And I might just be speaking for myself?

So I officially got off topic just now. And I officially promoted ZOS for you guys by mentioning "ZOS" nine times. I've got nothing against the ZOS guys, just what they have been doing in Texas forums lately. Every ZOS guy I've met so far has been totally cool in person. I just want to let you guys know how this looks from my perspective nearly every time I open up a thread in the Texas forum.

^^2nd, IMO ZOS guys are just as cool as the my350 guys, and i have nothing against them either, most of us are registered over there anyway, but if there is something to mention to ONE person only then that is what PM is for... any more than that and that's should be grounds for a new thread...

First of all ACREE is already a ZOS member and you should know that
350Track since you are too. So there was no recruiting going on here.

We/I have NOT been invading every thread to recruit for ZOS. I started
a thread for Z-Fest 2006, but that show is for everyone including you, regardless of who is behind it.

You all sound like a bunch of whinning women. Don't you have something better to do than B*tch about every little post. I guess its ok to bounce back and forth joking about who has more hp, but try to hook a brother up with a little info and all the B*tchy women start complaining.

Seriously guys, get a grip. Let's try to act mature if possible.
I'm not a ZOS member, but my name is on the site. When it first started (when I had my first 350z I was down with it....but I never had the time to do anything or go to any meets at all).

This thread is just one instance. I do have things better to do than whine, but I also have better things to do than scroll through ZOS posts all day long in a my350z.com forum. It's just getting old and I expressed my opinion like a mature adult w/o having to post little faces like this >>>

I appreciate the reply Mike, but I wasn't hoping for one. And obviously I'm not the only one who feels this way because others see it as well.

"ain't no body gonna breaka my stride.....ain't no body gonna hold me down."

i think i'm pretty happy-go-lucky... i could care less but i do think that there should be a little courtesy given to the person who started the thread by not posting other topics on it...

then again i'm not a mod either... but w/e

AWW HELL NO! No more hi-jacking my thread!! Don't make me delete it!

But back on topic.. It was brought to my attention by a few members that they will not dyno their cars due to the toasty weather we're having. From the looks of it (as of right now), it seems like the high for that day will be right around 100°, which will be from about 1:00PM to 4:00PM. I think if you guys arrive early, you might not have to worry dynoing your cars in such hot weather. I'll probably be the first one there, so you won't be alone if you do arrive early.

Oh, I'm taking my thumbdrive to store my dyno information. I can also put your dyno info and send them to you online, if you'd like.

350Track - You do have a good point. I personally have not made any comments about ZOS as a group on any thread on my350z.com that I can recall. If I have, it was just to reference for another ZOS member. Your point is well taken and justified.

MICZ - That was a little harsh bro. True, it could have been sent in a pm, but personally I don't see any harm in posting it in this thread, except is causes a thread hijack. Yeah I will be at the meet.

Any further discussion of the meet can we please in another thread. If anyone else on this board feels the same way 350Track does, I officially apologize for ZOS. We are just a bunch of good ole boys who love the Z as much as anyone else on this forums. We also enjoy getting together and holding meets with other people with 350Z's. We never mean to step on people's toes, or come off as the "Jehovah's Witness" of 350Z clubs. We simply wish to share our passion with other drivers and members of this board.
