Just got back from the tuner with the Z :driving: I'm very impressed with the results. The throttle is notably more responsive, especially in the lower and mid-ranges :tup: I'm gonna eat some dinner and then write up a review later tonight.

Joe @ Dynotronics did a few major adjustments like adjusting the fuel map, recalibrating the MAF sensors, and cam timing (no VVEL yet). There are a few things he says he's not quite satisfied with, so this is still a tune in progress :tup:

Hahah, me and my buddy used to take his Chevette through the woods during lunch. I remember bottoming it out over a particularly steep drop. I just got out and pushed it over the crest. Great times!

ZMan8 05-21-2013 08:56 PM

Good news, struts are fixed and the top part is aligned fine now. The owner of the shop even admitted they were definitely off.

I put everything back together and tightened by hand for now. Torquing down tomorrow. I think I read that the Sway bars need to be torqued with all 4 wheels on the ground, can anybody confirm?

sounds good, mr.zman! :tup:

you can do the swaybars in pairs, and not a requirement for the swaybars to have the vehicle load, but it is said to be better to tighten down with your car's weight so that everything is in working position when you torque to spec.

same goes your suspension, but you can do that a corner at a time. just put a hydraulic under your knuckle or spring carrier, raise it up a little to load it, and torque everything down to spec.

GL! :tup:
