Cool, let us know if you do find out which kit it is! They are universal so in all honesty he could use a number of the ones that are in the market.

Some are better than others though, but that mostly comes down to the programming controlling the water injection and the hardware controller quality. Aquamist is pretty good in my experience, I always liked the real time display of how much water/methanol was being injected at a given time.

Will do. Hopefully he will start next week. When he does, we will probably go over everything and I can get specifics.

The headlights look sick.

dixon cider 12-06-2010 09:23 PM

Thanks!! More pics to come. Sam said they are starting on the water/meth system on Wednesday. Dammit, sorry RCZ, I forgot to ask what system they were using because he caught me at work and I couldn't really talk. So I just called him back and left a message. Hopefully he calls me back tonight and I will let ya'll know. :tup:

crash1369 12-08-2010 05:43 AM

You stay Classy THE370Z.com :tiphat:

And who's this *** clown randomly posing about shoes everywhere, reported

dixon cider 12-08-2010 03:43 PM

I just talked to Sam. He is going to use the Snow Performance Stage 2 Boost Cooler for water/meth injection. He also said he has received the headlights, so they will be reinstalled soon. That's all for now.

BeachZTT 12-08-2010 10:46 PM

Lookin great! You Z is going to look as good as it runs.

Also a good kit, can't go wrong with it! Thanks for letting me know. :tup:

Any idea how the SC is coming?

Btw, you went ALL out on those headlights! Green Demon eyes, haha you're nuts. In a good way though. Keep up the good work.

Thanks RCZ. They just really started getting into it yesterday. My youngest boy (11) told me I should get them green. It is the color that puts out the most light. They are for looks only so I figured "what the hell". Not that I will ever drive with them on. I think he wanted them so he could show all of his friends when they come over. He can take them out to the garage and say LOOK!! Hahaha. I'm a sucker when it comes to my kids. Oh well. Thanks for all of the positive remarks from everyone. I appreciate it. More to follow.
