LOL poking the bear?

I like the way his engine looks, but I have no clue as to the performance gains of that plenum.

The car does sound nice and seems to handle well. My butt dyno tells me it's faster than my car, but then again anything is faster than my Z.

your car is up... mine is down.... for every action there is an equal opposite reaction?

hoping just a boost leak, but don't have time to look at it. I have my guy coming down this week to look it over.

car falls on its face about 8 psi and won't make full boost. It might spike to 10.5-11, but a far cry from 15+ it should be making.... most signs point to a boost leak, but when you are running boost through a N/A motor, anything is possible.

Figure out the problem yet Aaron? Break in is still going good. I really need my idle rpm raised if I forget to turn the ac on when I'm going to be making a few stop and go's in a row it will kill.

On another note as I was going out for lunch there was a black 350z with a cf hatch I saw he waved I waved back took the z to work today.

It's weird that Brandon isn't too thrilled about driving and doesn't want to do it or practice as much as I want. I thought kids were always excited to drive.

holy *****, thanks to getting called back into work on monday, I realized that I need new tires and an alignment BADLY. my front passenger tire on the inside half looks like it could have gone at any moment.

On the side note, you guys see the article about how Nissan might make the next "Z" car a crossover? I still can't tell if it was a legitimate article or not.

Haven't heard about the Nissan thing. I have a hard time trying to keep up with the latest updates from the car manufacturers, so I quit doing it. lol

Hmm... I might have to consider putting a front plate on. I know the cops have been pretty strict lately on motor vehicle laws lately and today was one of them. I got pulled over by the Burnsville police today for no front plate but he let me go with a warning.
