Default Big Props To Z Car Garage

Just picked up my car this afternoon. All I can say is... WOW.
Rob installed my Vortech, JWT CAMS, DC Headers, Nismo Cat Back, and all the peripherals.

My car baselined at 242 hp. Not bad for a stock Z. I wound up with 428whp and 340 lb ft. of torque. So much fun to drive.

They did a meticulous job, Top notch service and quality work.

Rob and the boys at Z Car are the best. Vince at Z Car knows his Vortechs!!!

Thanks Fellas!!!

Saw your car at the shop today (Silver with TE37's right?). Another Z Car Garage boosted Z hits the streets. Congrats.

BTW- love the gauges.

Wow...those are so crazy numbers if you're only running 7psi, with the supporting mods you have done.

I'm still amzed by your numbers at 7psi lol. With a SSV intake manifold, no cats, and your boost turned up to 9-10psi, lightweight flywheel and clutch, I'd imagine you'd be knocking at the door of 500whp.

Congrats! How long did the entire process take? Were you without a car for a while?

Halitosis,

Thanks Bro...

It took close to two weeks. My Z is my weekend car. So I was okay.
But I am very impatient. But it was definitly worth the wait.

Attaboy! Sounds like you'll be giving Lou a run for his money pretty soon. Now I know who's to blame for MY car not being finished.....
