The short explanation is hard work; I've basically held a full-time job since my sophomore year of high school. The other part is disciplined spending and having a goal and sticking to it regardless of any outside factors. The trade off is that I have missed some experiences at college, nothing crazy, just a few parties and football games here and there, but that is a trade that I thought was acceptable for getting something that I really wanted. A little good luck has indirectly played into the equation too.

I have engaged high boost, and I was surprised at how MUCH harder it pulled as opposed to just running on the wastegate. Basically, on high boost this car goes like hell. Another cool story is that I had my friend drive past me while I stood on the side of the road at about 80mph the other day (with the wastegates wide open as he drove past). The sound was ungodly (in a good way
). The only thing I can compare it too was the Pontiac GTO.R I saw racing at the 24 Hours of Daytona a few years ago. Which reminds me, earlier today, I was getting into boost and I checked my peak boost on the EVC, and it said that I had gotten as high as like 7.4ish or something. I was a little shocked, because I thought the wastegates were sprung for about 5.5-6psi, and I hadnt used the high-boost setting at all. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Btw, how was your trip to Miami Sharif?

Also, just brace yourself, because the car you get back from Forged is not even gonna be close to the car that you dropped of there a week ago. You are gonna love your Z more than ever when you get it back.

Btw Sharif, if you get a chance, you should try to post some pics of the Competition Clutch setup. If you don't have them anymore, then no problem.

From what Sharif told me, I think the EVC reads a tad bit high. Thats why your showing 7.4. My PH (peak hold) is like 9.7 but i am actually only running 8.7 lbs. Nothing to worry about.
