Louisiana Z/Import cookout April 29th *Lakefront*
God, I wish I could still be sleeping. Sucks getting up for work at 6AM.
Have any plans for today? I'm probably going to be in and around Metairie. Hopefully going with my friend and his dad to go buy this Z I found for him.

Lol. I'm curious, do you happen to know what size bradley's works are on his car? I was wondering if they were 18's or 19's.
Plus, I can't decide, maybe your opinion will help. I'm looking at either black Works Meister S1's or gold Work VS-XX. I want a staggered fitment, and a pretty wide offset. Which would you pick if you had to?
I have the lighter silver Z, and I'm picturing this with the complete Nismo kit (old one)

bradley has 18's on his car...personally i dont like the miester's at all but thats just a personal preference however the vs-xx is fuking hot...i was thinkin about getting the gold for my car but got a really good deal on the volks so i couldnt pass it up
Cool shiet. Quiet frankly I like the Meister's, but only on certain cars. I'm kind of partial to them on the Z. On some Z's they look really nice, then others not so nice. I think for the look I want I'm going to go with the gold VS-XX. Just have to wait for my money to fuking get here so I can order turbo/rims/exhaust/engine upgrades/ect.
Do you think the Greddy TT kit would be a better kit in the long run over the Turbonetics ST kit? I really like the ST kit and want that, but I see a lot more people have the TT kit, so I was curious. Eventually I'd go for a bigger turbo, but I don't know if the TT would be a good choice for that. Plus I've heard the ST kit makes more power, but I've never seen dyno results to prove it.

regarding FI..i'm in unfamiliar territory in that area..at first i was thinkin about going twins myself but i think i'm gonna go with the vortech superharger now..i've been reading too many stories on blown motors with ST and TT not to many on vortech..
Lol my bad. My boss was over here talking to me and another co-worker about file sharing and such. I'm back now.
I would go SC but I want more power than just that. I'd be happy in the 400-500 range for right now.

Yeah, I know. I wouldn't turbo the car without building it up first. I used to have a red turbo MR2 that I slowly but surely started building up. Never really had a problem with it, and those things always have problems.
I just don't see any upgrade ability in the SC's past a certain point.

as far as FI goes guys, You would be safe to go with single or twin turbo on a stock motor if you want 350-400whp like soleil said. You can successfully run up to 430-450whp if you get a custom tune by someone that really know what they are doing. After that tune, don't fuq with it. Now that's not meaning you can constantly go running around boosting up on your tune and staying at the 450whp range. Normal driving, you can stay on low boost and run around the 350-380 range. You will be fine. If you stay in the higher range, you will be pushing the envelope and of course the life of the motor will be shortened. I know a little about FI but I really am no guru when it comes to FI so don't quote me for 100% truth. The things I am writing are information I pick up reading through the FI section. Lee can give you more specifics on our FI setups.
Scott, Bradley's wheels are Work Emotion CR Kai 18 x 9.5 +12 all around. He has spacers in the back. I think they are 20mm or 25mm.
Edit: Correction. He has 15 mm spacers in the back.
