After many hrs of thinking and deliberating I've decided to keep my Z. And turbo it. I bought steve's (some of you know him as theusualsuspect) turbonetics turbo kit and plan on embarking into the world of forced induction soon.

My plan is to sit and let the parts call my name until I can't take it anymore then take it to Dent Sport Garage.

Watch out HR's and 370's. If you hear spoiling around MA it might be me.

Good luck with it Keith.
Get it up and running, and bring her out in the spring.

We got a few more months till we can hit the roads again.
It will be good to get everyone together.

I only needed to replace 1 tire so I am sticking with my Nitto Nt-555's.
I've used them for a long time(since they came out i think), and they have always treated me well.
I think they are a good bang for the buck.

just sayin...keep your eyes open for other used kits too. that TN is not the greatest option. It works, yes, but the output is limited and the AIT's can climb pretty high. I'm already bored with my power, you will get bored too!! You will look into an upgrade if you ever decide to build past a stock block setup

UMW- I'm already looking at bigger (cosworth) blocks. A turbonetics turbo is only the beginning.

Mike G - I am using his utec but I'm going to have it retuned PROPERLY and have the right RWHP. Steve was only making 330 at the wheels on a junk tune. I will not rest until I have 380whp.

Good deal. Im glad your going to get a retune. I know his 1st tune was pig rich. Then he was going use someone's existing program. That individual had some damage shortly after.
Im still guilty of using the old tune. Hopefully I will make down to MD to get it done.
