If so I will go pick up the 2.87" Vortech pully, and be at Mac @ about 3:15 or so, to change it out, Then by 4:00 the map sensor should be to the shop.
As long as the overnight comes in on time from TurboXS It will work well!??

Yep, I am on the forums a lot, since I actually own a Z.

If you are running a forced induction vehicle is it always wise to use a map sensor so you can tune the vehicle in Speed Density Mode. I recommend this because a well running naturally aspirated Z will over run the Mass Air Flow Signal. On my mildly modified Z without cams I am hitting about 4.8 volts. (This is a 0-5 Volt sensor.)

If you are staying naturally aspirated the UTEC is all you will need that is until you are making over about 310whp I probably would recommend using the map sensor and tuning the vehicle in speed density mode.

Additional Accessories like the Tuner Wideband are really only need if you are going to tuning yourself or you are curious about information. I always recommend having it tuned by a reputable UTEC Tuner.

Thanks,

Robert, I'm down for going up to MAC together, but I won't know if I can make it until the last minute, plus the possibility of snow just sucks. If I go, I'll post around 2:30 or 3:00 to let you know if you haven't left already, and maybe we can cruise together. But Becckie and I have a lot of stuff to do this afternoon, and unfortunately no baby yet. The waiting SUCKS. On the flipside, my mom just bought us the most wicked cool car seat on the planet. My little kid's gonna be like Speed Racer in that thing, LOL!

Thanks for the invite, but I got class tonight. Have a good time, and hopefully Becckie and I can catch up with you two after the baby is born.
