D*mn right I would be, after witnessing the swagger and ladies success you had with your hat, I would be a fool not to follow in your footsteps :)

That would be no fun! Hahaha j/k probably the smart thing to do bro unless of course you plan to go deer hunting with your Z :tup:

I think it's taken enough abuse for now. Actually from getting rides in your guys car, I think it's my tires that are the issue. I remember you guys talking about how your VDC light only comes on over bumps, but mine comes on if I take a curve going fast. I definitely can't push it anywhere near what you guys can do with yours. VDC kicks in really early and kills some of the fun, which is why I turned it off to increase the tolerance level. I need to get me some new rubber, but it will have to be all season. Don't know if replacing my worn front summers with new (slightly wider) all seasons will make any improvement in grip.

Had a MAF sensor issue when the bolt head broke off and the sensor was loose and throwing a system too rich code. Had to get a new Throttle Body Intake Tube which also had a design flaw and would have led to the same problem, fixed that with a couple of extra washers. Good as gold since then.

Now that I have my AFR sensor bung welded in and the sensor installed I just have to hook up the electronics that run the sensor and the Boost gauge. I will be able to send sam some logs with real AFR/Boost readings to get a finalized tune from GTM.

Then we will put it on the dyno and get the last of it nailed down.

Other than that it runs damn strong even in the heat...

Damn, sounds like you've been busy! Can't imagine what the dyno numbers are going to look like once you've got every bit dialed in. That thing should run as smooth as silk once the final tune is done. Congrats :tup:

Easy for you to say, you already experienced the S/C boost in his car :icon17:. About your tires, I would suggest you no longer take curves going fast :p

My sh*tty Eagle RS-A's were groaning the entire time on the Dragon. That didn't stop me from taking curves fast...

Although hearing that pitiful sound of understeer all the time got old after a few days... :facepalm:

There is a limit to how fast I can take a curve and that limit is when VDC will kick in :bowrofl:

Well got the gauges installed so now I know I am making 8.5PSI at redline...

Sam has told me that my AFR looks good, a bit rich but as I am going to beat on the car at AutoX events it is just a bit conservative on purpose...

Now I just need to find a dynojet...

:bowrofl:

I think a 4K clutch drop should do the trick. I'm sure those RE-11's will hook up just fine with all that power :inoutroflpuke:
