Just wanted to let you guys know that Zcargarage is a great place. They just finished installing my Vortech kit and everything ran smooth with no problems. Plus Rob at Zcargarage is a great guy and he knows his stuff. And the staff there are a bunch of cool guys. Pricing is also competitive. Will post up some pictures later on today.

 

Congrats! I was close to buying Lou's kit myself.

 

Thanks. Only thing I hate is I am only running 5.2 psi due to the fact that, it is my daily driver.

 

how much whp and torque are you making at that much boost?

 

I am making 320 whp at 5.2 Boost and 271 torque. My stock dyno was 247 whp and 233 torque.

 

cool, thanks for posting ur #'s

 

5 lbs of boost ... ehhh I wouldn't be satisfied with that. Can't you run higher boost and still have it be your daily driver?

 

I can easliy run higher boost but, I am just feeling out the kit for now. Maybe later down the road I will raise the boost up. And add more mods. Don't want to go Boom so soon.

 

if you go over 5lbs of boost on stock internals on a daily driver you won't last long

 

Glad you like the kit.

 

im on 9lbs of boost WITH MY VORTECH and drive everyday with no problems...NONE!!!

 

I'd be satified with those #'s. Now the big ??, how much $$$ for the kit/install/tune? Thanx.

 

Z car is bad ****!!!

 

We are on 91 octane here, not the 94 in NJ. Each octane point is good for approximately 1psi of boost, as a rule of thumb.

 

 

How did they do that? Sounds like the belt is slipping...

 

still thinking if I should get a vortech, hows the noise level and what did you dyno?

 

Does Z car garage offer any type of workmanship warranty?? The prices are okay. I wouldn't say it's the greatest. I have rec'd a quote from z car garage and Rob was actually 300.00 dollars more than other places. ( with warranty)

In addition, Rob is too busy to spend time answering questions. He's always in a rush.

Show me a place that offers a warranty on that kind of work and I'll show you a place that's never actually honored one.

There's always a disclaimer or exemption that will get them out of it.

How can they tell you didn't miss a shift and over rev the engine causing the damage? Or, how can you prove you didn't?

I've never seen a warranty honored on a mod like that without mitigating circumstances. ie. family member.

Didn't someone with a 'warranty' have their engine let loose as it was being pulled out of the garage of the shop that just finished the work? There must have been some 'clause' in the warranty to get out of that one.

Rob is too busy for a reason. He's got a freakin' parking lot full of cars in line to get worked on.

I've never seen him less than a month back logged. He must be doing something right if that many people want him to work on their cars and keep coming back even with the wait.

What was the work he quoted you for? Was it $300 more on a $600 job? or was it $300 more on a $3000 job?

If you want someone to chit chat with, I suggest a forum like this!

 

I don't get it? As in, it's not making enough power for 5.2psi?
