Please stop over my house so I can officail smack you upside the head for asking that question.

I thought you were selling your Z? Now you asking questions about sinking money into it? What's the for real deal dude?

If you aren't throwing a supercharger or turbo on your car why bother with messing with the ECU?

Remember my NA days when I got all NA parts and a tune? Guess what my car was still slow as ****, just louder. If we were to total all the money I spent towards the NA parts I could have just bought a SC and kept all the factory stuff and BAM insta Power and worth it. But, I spent all the money on all those expensive *** parts for nothing. Then I went Turbo a few weeks later and to this day Life is Better with Boost.

My .02, I am sure a lot of NA dudes will be alll pissed off but seriously, truth hurts mang.

I totally understand. My wife and I decided on keeping the Z. We are going to get rid of the Tiburon. She has a Prius already. But at the same time, my wife does want me to get a turbo for the car. She got the tuning bug but doesn't really look into it. Good thing is, that she will allow me to get the stuff. I just don't want to run to lean or rich. K buddy all i need is your addy for you to smack me lol!

kitty litter, oatmeal, aka sand to slow your car before it goes into a wall of feathered 350 tires...

I believe he meant Twin Turbos are an accident waiting to happen without suspension/braking/tires to control it.

Correct me if im wrong Steeeeeeeeeeeeez

You now have your audience and 50/50 left

OOhhh. I see.. Thank you for your translation. I'm lie kitty litter and stock Z = me lost

I say don't blame the hp. Blame the lack of driving skill needed to be behind the wheel. Poor misguided innocents. They must be protected at all costs.

If NA is your thing Steele than run with it. But, do us all a favor and not try and race an SRT-4 in your automatic stock Z... Enough of those videos on youtube..

+1 on what was said, screw the bolt-on's and go straight to FI: if you can't control your car with twin turbos, then you suck at driving.
