Cool. My car recently put down 655.9 rwhp and 552 rwtq on a Dyna Pack Dyno on 93 pump gas at 17 psi. Sleeved block, head work, cams, etc. I've been having a pretty rough go of it since getting the car back (middle of July)though and the car seems to always be broken. First, heads were cracked so I needed to pull the engine to check everything out and pull/install new heads. Then, the radiator hose blew off the car right when I was starting to race a built 05 SC mustang GT. Pulled the car over right away, fixed the hose and refilled fluid, then the car wouldn't start. Then, the release bearing on my brand new ATS triple carbon went bad and needed replaced within 2 weeks of taking boost. Then, the first boost leak hit and I was forced to drive around for a week or so with like 9 psi. Got that fixed, then 4 days later the car again would only make 9-10 psi, while once in a while being able to hit close to 14 psi. I had it at the shop all day on Saturday to get this fixed and my stage II driveshaft shop half axle on the passenger side broke during a second gear pull on the road (crazy considering my car was only making around 10 psi at the time it broke). The shop thinks it might not have been hitting boost due to the axle slipping inside the rear end and loosing load (the axle broke where it connects inside the pumpkin I guess). I was going to put some C16 in it to see what kind of power I could make with a race gas tune, but after all my issues I may just leave it alone with the pump gas tune.

I'll be at the show for sure. I haven't missed it in 7 years, although I doubt I'll be able to take a trophy home this year.

yeah the show was alot of fun. Had to work there at the Army Rock climbing wall on Sunday, the whole recruiter thing lol, but still spent most of the day looking at all the attractions, aka the scantily clad women and nice rides. We need to get some pics up for everyone, may try to do that today.

I took a lot of pics of the Z's at the show, and I also tried to get as many booty shots of the woman as I could :P

I would post the pics but I'm at my parents house in Virginia... I'll post them once I get back to Idaho next weekend

edit:

Here's a teaser
