Hey they are both helpful now you know that the Z is not a car where you can monitor knock by checking the line voltage, and I posted up a way to keep your wastegates closed beyond what screwing in the actuator rod can get you and it costs like $5.

Edit: It is also failsafe because if the spring falls off or breaks you go back to low boost. Also you should be concerned because if they tuned you car off knock voltage they really weren't checking for knock at all while doing your high boost tune.

Has UpRev added any knock monitoring / logging yet? I havent connected to my car in a very long time to see what the latest updates have brought.

They have added a non-functional knock counter lol

The eagle has landed, my car is home. Bobby made it in around 8:00 a.m. and I had breakfast and coffee ready. The car drives great and very smooth. That other youtube video should be up sometime today, will post a link..

Missing my steering brace plate under the car and skid plate.. Found oil sending unit unplugged and few other small things but no biggie. Going to need to plate that connect to the steering ram to the sub frame though..

Minor details!

So tell us how does the ride feel? Ear to ear grin? Breaking loose on 3rd n 4th gear pulls? Seemed like a pretty quiet engine, more so than stock!

I just came back from a short test drive and the car easily hit 14.5 psi in 5th gear around 5200rpm's. Based on that I believe the car would have hit 600whp but I'm not looking for a dyno queen. The torque is Insane in any gear but the aftermarket engine mounts make the interior a bit louder but it sounds great. At idle the car sounds really deep with zero rasp. It's very stealth and I couldn't be happier.!!!
