Looks like the extra 200rwhp you found from the last time we met up ate your breaks!!! Still the tubonetics single setup???

That sucks!

Does the boost for the engine and vacuum of the breaks tie in together on 350Zs? Maybe something stuck and you lost your vaccuum causing failure? It's hard to think that they would just quit without giving you vibration/etc. before failure.

The only boosted 350 I've been in is his. It felt strong with the TN kit. I guess the Greddy is even better with his set up.

Hey man! Hows the vette running?? Yeah I swtiched from the turbonetics and went with a built shortblock and greddy twins. haven't looked back since haha. We haven't really looked in to the brake issue as we were at Road Atlanta from Thursday to Saturday. First thing monday morning we'll be looking in to it. The actual brakes were not a factor, But I'll be getting rid of them for some bigger ones.
