Well nice to see your excited and thank you for your service ...do you not have a z yet? If not once you get it it will become clear twin turbo isn't cheap also decide what you HP goals are before starting on your project

Yes if you want more I'd just get a stage 1 short block from any of the shops that offer them after that I'd not want to DD it in my opinion

He's saying that a lot of people come to this forum and start saying they want to twin turbo this and supercharge that, when they dont have the car yet. Flamed=saying something totally open ended and getting insulted to the point you get mad at your computer for showing you such hateful words.

I know exactly what you are looking for, as I am in the Navy, and Ive never been to Iraq, but a crappy deployment to the North Arabian Gulf will weaken even the strongest mind. You need something to look forward to and remember what you are defending. I did the same exact thing as you--minus put myself out on the forum.

What you need to do: Read through this site, everything has been done to a Z, and in most cases, what you want to do has a do it yourself on it and how you can do it for hundreds less than what you were planning on spending. Use the search function, think before you post and enjoy this forum. It can be childish at times, but if you silently observe, then speak-you will be ok.


Oh yea, and if you can afford it (i know deployments=bank)go with a 07-08s as they have a more powerful engine from the factory.


Thank you for your service and look forward to seeing your Z around here when you get back!!!
