Don't worry too much about dyno numbers. There are so many variables and the small differences can be chalked up as margin of error. Keep in mind that dynos are tuning tools first and foremost. What you should be more focused on is your AFR. That's what you really pay for, imo, not some estimated power. It is fun to brag about higher whp, though.

The plan is to leave before Fort Worth traffic Friday morning (I plan to leave my house by 5am and pick up Brandon on the way south). We have rooms on hold at the Hyatt North Austin, but if we come across anything better we can cancel that.

Motul 90PA ordered for the swap.. So Im hoping I can get the parts soon to do the swap before the next drift event on March 10th
Those parts come in yet?

I have some work I need to do on my car and I was hoping I could come up and get some help.

Just got the tracking number for the tickets, should see them in a day or two.

So were do we want to meet up at. If I head down 35E we could me somewhere around Hillsboro. Travis are you leaving town from 35W?

We going to meet that far down? Would it be too far out of the way for you to come down 121 to 35W? I figured it would be best if we just met up at the start, but I'm not sure which route is fastest for you guys.

Brandon lives in Crowley so maybe we could meet down around that area (or Burleson) right off 35W after I pick him up.

Who has some wheel spacers that I could test fit sometime in the next day or two? I want to try sizes between 5mm and 10mm. I guess I might try 15mm, but I doubt I would need that size.

I have 15 on the car but you can try it.


Opinion Time: I am thinking about these. Any body see these on a Z? http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/int...7921&rc=TDTINT If you click the color blue, it will open with the Konig Kilogram rims.

I found out I have a bent front rim on my daily set. And I needed new front tires so.. I dont mind the G35 rims but i have always liked that style of rim so decided to go ahead upgrade. These will be daily rims and tires but I am getting 18/ 9.5 front and rears so I could put some track tires on in the future. They use Enkie's rim manufacturing process so they way in at 19.5 lbs.

Going with the Conti Extreme contact DW for the Daily tires 255/40 Front 265/40 rears.

Come to Cota with us Chris, I have a seat in my car open.

One of my 5Ziegen FN01R-C Hot Version (my black track wheels) has been bent from day 1. Those wheels have seen a lot of track time and daily driving, all with no problems so far.
