I decided to do something a little different and had the intake pipes powder coated black... ohh yeah there is also a Vortech connected to those pipes.

It is still not a 100%. I have not had it tuned because my new exhaust has not come in yet. Out of the box I have 351RWHP and 289TQ. With tuning I should get at least another 20rwhp because it is running very rich right now.

As is, the car is ridiculously fast and I couldn't be happier.

Rob at Z car garage has been great. I highly recommend them for any and all Z needs.

 

Nice! Chops on G35frenzy.com just sent his out for a similar treatment.

 

I wonder if his is the G at Z Car garage right now. That thing is getting cams as well. Not even a week and people already copying me...

 

sweet... sat in one of Rob's vortech Z... man... it's fast!!!

 

looks nice lou!!
remember, you promised a ride around the block!!

 

You got it Michelle!

 

Congrats man... Are you sure you don't want to continue on the bolt on route

I told you its worth it, try not to get too many speeding tickets now. Time to invest in a radar detector

 

out of curiosity, what does a place like Z Car Garage charge for a vortech install and tuning?

 

Nice! I hope one day I can see it do some battles on the freeway.

 

I also had headers installed and it is not tuned yet so I couldn't give you the exact amount. I think the Vortech was a thirteen hour install. Rob said mine was the fastest he has done so it can take longer.

After it is tuned I will definitely go hunting for Z06's, Viper's and 911 TT's. My power to weight ratio should be closest to the Porsche. (then again I am not putting down anywhere near the torque numbers of the above listed cars...) I can't complain, the car is awesome and the sound of the blow off valve when shifting is sick! Just got to be extra careful with the cops until it is CARB approved.

 

Dang Lou... another rare BA Z in the FI club You gotta bring her out to the next Z meet.... rides for all

 

I may go to the car wash meet at Michele's... I don't know about rides for ALL!

 

How about Rides for ALL that reply here......??

 

We will just have to see at the next meet. I love driving the car even more now, so I may be willing to give rides for most...

 

congrats man

 

Lou, just have a gas donation can at the meet, and people can chip in for a ride

Hey Bruce, actually it is a Z33SC. And neur0sis, that is not a bad idea. If I am going to hammer down on the throttle several times, my gas gauge is going to go faster than my car.

 

Okay, I got $2.50 for a gallon of gas for ya... I expect a gallon's worth of a ride!

J/K, I'll settle for a few minutes or so

 

You got it Brian!
