hahah and now the insanity begins! That's a whole lotta flow! I think 1000cc injectors & FCON VPRO is in your future!

 

As if it wasen't a beast to start with..... I may have to take some leave to see this thing when its done.

 

YOU BETTER!

 

Dude! You're nuts! I want a ride!

 

Congrats Kevin! That should make for some fun for sure. PM me and let me know when it gets in and you are planning to get going on it, I would love to come take a look before it goes in.

 

Don't do it man.

Why not try N/A? Sucky altitude the main reason?

I've always been a n/a man, so maybe I'm goofy for thinking F/I is the easy (expensive) way out.

 

slap me some skin my turbo brother!!!!
J-man

 

God i cant wait to see your car when that thing is done. I bow down to that kit. Im sitting here thinking id get some real power out of a JWT. Damn man Damn... Want someone to hold your beer while your working on that kit (and help polish off the cooler full of them?) Im good for that!

 

Altitude sucks! Drive a boosted Z and I think you may change your tune Even a highly modded LS6 can't give Kevin the kind of power he's looking for N/A, he's a crazy man!

 

Yea N/A is ruthless up here in Colorado, FI is the only way to go. As far as FI being the easy way out, not a chance. Designing and installing an efficient and effective turbo system is not easy by any means. Combined with the heat it produces and the strain on mechanical components it is tough, expensive, and one of the most rewarding things you can do. Now as for nitrous........

 

Here is a perfect example of "Gilmania"! I wouldn't mind having a touch of that disease

 

True true...

I guess I shouldn't say 'easy' way out... I guess I mean, more like the 'unnatural half-brother you really don't want'. Aka, sure you can do it, but it's so not what the Z engine is designed for and that is a large part of the cost... why not just buy an Evo9 and be done with it? Sure they aren't purdy like a z, but ***** to the wall performance, can't touch them for the cash...

 

I should have added... I've been in a couple boosted Z's, including Juztins. No offense man, just didn't really think it was all that fast. I think it's a n/a thing - my friends EVO9 doesn't seem fast either (well, untill he blows by me... hehe). I guess I like to stomp it and feel it immediately... I'm not use to boosted cars... maybe if I owned and drove one... still, I'm betting my n/a setup, in most daily driver conditions (aka, wiping around town or in light traffic), is going to give boosted cars some fits. Well, that's my hope at least...

I'll probably be installing a TT next year once I get this done and I get crushed by kevin!

 

whats a evo nine?!

 

My car feels slow for me too (and I'm not joking )! I need to build the motor already :-/ Need to go shake my money tree

 

Seriously?

Not my style visually, but you can't argue with the stats for the cash. 3.9 0-60 is not a joke (and that is stock). The new evo10 looks a ton better, but they are only making it auto with paddle shifters... the 9 is a great track car for the cash.

 

Take a ride in my car if you want to remember what "slow" really feels like.

That's the thing about TT's they are deceptively fast, without the boost lag of ST's they don't have that sudden kick in the pants, that power is just always there.

 

Kevin, I'm impressed by your relentless pursuit of power despite the forces of natural selection chasing you. And sure, your car's going to be fast and all... but it will still get spanked by my ride once it's done. That's right, I'm modding my Z and it will crush all.

It's powered by Chuck Norris, fools!!! Muahhahhahaa!!!!!!!
(Oh, man.. I'm bored.)

 

WHo YA, I like the way you talk'in.. the forces of natural selection are stronger some days than others!!
