Well like it was said, it's all N/A. I've got:

Injen CAI, Kinetix plenum, UR pullies, JWT flywheel, Topspeed Headers, Kinetix High flow cats, Stillen Dual exhaust. I thought about the cams, but I'm already concerned about eventually smogging the thing.

That was able to get me 257.5 at the wheels at the last Stillen G/Z day dyno. And I think if I calculated correctly, that puts me somewhere around 320-330 hp at the motor. I keep flip flopping on whether to get the chip re-flashed over at Technosquare. It's not a lot and I know there are a lot of people with more (wife said no to the turbos ) but it keeps me going.

Later,

Ray

a reflash won't do jack unless you're too lean.

Wrong Matt, it may very well do him something.

Leaning out his fuel in some possibly overly rich areas or advancing timing elsewhere could easily find some hidden HP.

The problem with TS is the inconsistency ... many have seen gains and others have lost a good amount ...

That's why I've been hesitant to do it. I remember some guy at the dyno day had just had the reflash and he was getting detonation when they were doing the dyno. A lot of times it smells lke my car may be running a little rich. You never know though. So Jim, what's up with the AVIC?

Later,

Ray

that's true, but how many people with all his breathing mods are running overly rich?

So ... what do you guys think is the better option.

Option #1: Land Rover LR3 HSE (so far the only car that has actually continually "tempted" me) - no spare car
Option #2: Keep my Z - Turbo kit and Coilovers - '99 Corolla beater car
Option #3: '99 Corolla daily driver ... chill for a while for another car .... who knows what

I slowly fall back in love with my Z every time I actually get to drive it ... or get some compliments on it....what to do ... what to do...

i would say #2, only because you will have more problems with a brand new land rover than a turbo'ed Z

True .. but this LR3 is a little different. It has its "it's a Land Rover" issues ... but no more than I have seen with the Z

The thought NEVER even crossed my mind., as I hate Chrysler after I nearly died when my old Jeep tranny locked up causing my to slide off of a mountian road almost falling into the carribean ocean.

However, I am gonna have to disagree with you on the slow thing. There are a few different owners running mid-12s stock in that car. It could have been a poser in a 300C Hemi ... with badges....

It could have been but whatever it was it had an exhaust and was decently quick. It would have beat my stock Z.....just no now. With the turbo kit it wasn't really worth the gas..
