So my effing phone broke and along with some pictures Hopefully I can find some hidden in my computer at home.So as per usual, I haz updates...

I ordered Z1 headers after years of eye raping them, then going back and forth with going balls out on PPE's again. Black Friday sale helped. What's funny though is I was "window shopping" and had the item in my cart as I was looking at total costs and options, still debating on whether to pull the trigger. The guys at Z1 must have been like, "This effing guy has done this 15 times in the last 3 days, and by looking at his track record, he buys $hit every black friday, call him". Well, I'm still deployed. They called my Wife's phone and busted me out! I told her i wasn't going to buy anything. And I have Rod @ Z1 calling Wife telling her about an order I placed lol. She messaged me and told me "Z1 Mosorsports just called" "What are you buying?" I responded "I'm errrm.... Window shopping" Her: "HA Yah right". "They're sending you an email". So under that notion, I ordered under the cover that they were already bought and she was still okay lol. I intend to swap the flange on the header to a VHR flange. I think it will help it's value if I sell them for a turbo setup (unless I go BP) since now you don't have to buy DE pipes.

But that's not all... I went and ordered RJM Bilet oil pump gears for all the RPM's... well until valve float and crank flex stops the fun (I'm JK.. I just want 8k reliable and a couple hundred rpm for over-rev).

I also purchased an ATI Super damper to help with those high rpm vibrations.

Lastly, I ordered Avant Garde F542's. I'm still sending sacrifices to them for payment. They're 19x10 +30 and 19X11 +13. No crazy offsets since I want to run them with proper alignment and an appropriately sized tire. I plan on running 275/35 19's up front and 305/30/19 in the back. I'm keeping my Nismo wheels. I love them too much, I just wanted another pair of shoes in the closet for shows and when I wanna look extra fly.

So my goals are to see if I can take a crack at 350whp with the ported throttle bodies, ported upper, ported lower, and headers. The car was tuned with 327whp 270wtq without the ported stuff. another 23whp is a tall order, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. And if I do make it, it would be a pretty good parts list to replicate what's needed.

Really the only think I didn't order are the big @ss Z1 filters and I didn't grab the EPS TB's, obviously opting to just run ported stocks. I really think those two mods could benefit larger intake pipes (2.75"+). But with boost in the next couple years, I didn't want to go to crazy on parts that are going to get swapped anyways. Sorry for the no pictures.
