alignment specs are actually stock due to me being a stock ride height. Temp is 60 degrees plus on average.

You have an 04' Z, and it's on stock alignment? My camber moves .1-.3 negative per year on average. If you havent had an alignment anytime in the past year I guarantee its -2 or worse!

I may not know "jack $hit about [your] set-up now" (nor do I even care about your or other people's set up), but I know enough to know you don't have nitrous.
You dont know what I have or dont have on my car right now. Do you really think I post about everything? Who are you to tell me and others online what I do not have? LOL

Of course you don't post about everything - who does?

Why are you so butthurt? If you have nitrous, well, congrats. If you don't, well, nobody will reprimand you.

You gave out numbers as if you had nitrous at that time (it read like so), so I was telling the OP that you had a single turbo and not nitrous (to avoid any confusion). There's nothing wrong with me telling him that.

I don't know who pissed in your cereal these past few days, but calm down. Nobody's out to get you - you got serious anger management issues. I'm still @ you getting so worked up, though.

needless to say alberto is right. negative camber is a bad idea when running nitrous. its a real bad idea to throw gobs of instant tourque at your tires when you are only using half the contact patch due to camber. i made this mistake myself running a 100 shot on a dropped 350. couldnt launch with it, couldnt spray in first after i got traction, couldnt have the nitrous activated at the start of second gear. i actually had to wait to about half way threw second to engage and not blow the tires up. even lost my grip in 3rd a number of times.

.8 inch drop on 19.9.5 +20 275/35 tires traction was allways a problem.

the best solution i found was to use somehung like the maximizer so u could slowly ramp the nitrous in to keep traction. if you go that way be sure to keep a close eye on your solenoids they will wear a lot faster when they are ramped.

No I mean stock specs...I've been aligned in the last 6 months. Sorry about the confusion.
