Fast Intentions "Twin Turbo Kit" is here

TerribleOne, it depends on city vs highway miles. When I drove back to San Jose from Specialty Z, I got 300 miles on a full tank. Since then I have been driving mainly city and occasional freeway, and it burns realllllly quick. Last time I checked I probably got like 185 maybe 200 miles from a full tank from just mainly city driving. I'll definitely start keeping track to get a better gauge.

Also, I'm still breaking in my engine that Sebastian built for me. I think I was the first Z with the F.I. TT kit to bend two rods on the dyno lol. So far the kit is great, just waiting to get to that 1500 mile break in mark so I can really romp on it.

It didn't break, it bent! I'm not sure what the power it was at but let's face it the quality control on mass produced parts can be highly variable, I can't believe it has not happened more. The reality is I see and hear about more issues NA car than FI Zs!!!

Yea I wasn't questioning the kit or tune. Plenty of people pushing over 600 without problems. I know thats where I will want to go when it's my turn

Just curious if he was one of the people who asked to turn it up beyond that to find the stock rod limits

Where did you get your 1500 mile mark from? Just curious as to the data or theory behind this. Im planning on turning mine up and I only have 250 miles on my built shortblock.
