Kinn, Berthia.
I am a firm believer of not skimping out on helmets, racing suits, etc.
I always buy my stuff off theis group in Montreal personally, but I have heard good things about that shop as well.

Kinn-what Model Bell did you get???

I got a Bell M-3. Probably over-kill, but I really liked how it fit... and.. like you said - no sense in skimping on safety.

My car will be paid off soon, so I may be able to step-up my track fun next year.

Mike,

The car is running pretty strong.

It seems alot torqueier (is that a word?) down low, very noticeable in first gear, on the freeway it seems to have a little bit of gain but not as drastic as the lower gears.

Im going to have to give the UTEC and H8bumps tune two thumbs up.

My butt dyno reads a little lower than other butt dynos so I would assume that the gains are pretty substantial.

Good deal. It should feel pretty strong. You have +2 degrees of timing, and you're at 13:1 AFR across the board. The only thing I want to do is log more data at like 70 degrees and see where AFR is, to make sure temp difference doesn't make a big AFR difference.

jusmack -- what year, model and color did you pick up? Some of us meet at Oakland University on Wednesdays... haven't had a big Z turnout there in about 4 or 5 weeks though.
