Haha.. yeah I know what you mean. It was a pretty involved install however (aside from the small amount of filing involved) there really isn't any drilling or other fabrication so it's more of a patience thing.

what are your butt dyno impressions after the hfcs, catback and tune? I'm new to the forum but from what I understand your baseline was 261 and you're now somewhere around 315. It should be interesting if and when semtex will get a tune and see if the headers and intake will benefit from it. If so this car might just match a stock E92 m3's 350 whp and easily match 260 wtq. With the tuned Z making its peak hp all the way up to 8000 rpm and majority of torque from 2500 to 7000 rpm this car will have unbelievably similar power curves to the m3 hailed as having the best engine bmw ever produced let alone the fact that it will be 300 pounds lighter. I hope I get the price I want on a Z soon because I don't know about you guys, but I'm young, looking to mod and wanting to surprise the hell out of some expensive vehicles in the area.

Well, I have to say that I definitely feel an improvement over stock. One thing that I am still in awe of is it's power through the entire band. It's smooth. Coming from a turbo charged car (which was lightweight and had a lot of power running 24 lbs. of boost), I am still getting used to that fact. Instead of the mind blowing surge, it's a gradual one but it's there nontheless.

I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised with the gains and you can definitely feel it in the seat of your pants.
