congrats to you mark! i love it when a new owner is so excited about the car. i still get that feeling when i am walking up to my car or i get a complement from a stranger. you are going to get a lot of people telling you that you should save your money and go with a built engine and twin turbos. even though my wife paid cash for my car (god bless her) i can't imagine dropping $15,000 or more on the motor. don't get me wrong, if i had that kind of cash sitting around i would do it . but i don't
i did a few mods this week, and the car is a different animal. i don't care what a dyno would say, cause the car feels awesome. i installed the motordyne copper iso-thermal spacer myself. it took a few hours, but i did it. you can too. it is easy. in addition to that i had JE Import Performance install a Jim Wolf clutch and flywheel along with a SS clutch line. the car is so much better in every way. i love it. a supercharger or turbo may happen in the future, but i love this car every time i drive it. have fun, be safe and enjoy.

Thanks for the info this has been the most helpful post so far how long have you had your z? how light is your flywheel? and what stage clutch?

Save up and get a built enigne with a turbo on it. I have about every bolt-on NA Mod on the car and yes it sounds cool and is a little faster but it's mostly style points.

All they are are an extension of our personalities.........

i have owned the z for about 18 months. i just love it. i got the JWT clutch-flywheel combo from intense power. check them out. they are a great vendor and supporter of this forum. you can easily check out the specs on the JWT combo. the car is a different animal with the plenum spacer and the JWT combo. here is a shot of my car.
