8 hours of hard storms, 16ft truck filled with stuff, car trailered behind it, gusty winds, hard rain, cat pooping in its kennel, a buncha pee stops, wife following in her car with no cruise control, i had no cruise control, not being able to go over 70mph, $500 in gas, and a total of 18 hours on the road, my car is finally here as of a couple days ago.

Worth it? We will see. hahaha

Welcome back, ez.

Nice stuff, Alex. You're working on the car everyday?

BTW, I saw a hit and run yesterday involving a minivan and a G37. Chased down the minivan and confronted him, he lied. Sadly, no one was in the G. I left info with the building security.

uncorrected, probably less. probably in the 525-540 range. Give it time, he will probably run it at DB.

My evo makes 457 uncorrected and 535 shootout at DB..

DB's corrected numbers are VERY accurate to map's dynojet. the same guy within the car above made within 2 hp on maps dyno as DB's corrected "shootout mode" with his previous setup.

From what I see with these evo builds is that they improve their power band A LOT vs just making more power up top. They benefit a lot from the increased displacement

That's cool. I was planning on doing some work on the 350 this weekend, weather permitting. Thinking of putting her up on jack stands, taking the wheels off to clean them, then detailing the Z, then taking off the exhaust system. After that, I'll just leave it until the new exhaust comes in.

Nope. More excited for May when the weather is much nicer.
