Man working all weekend sux LOL. I didn't do my plasti dip due to the wet Friday. I do have everything I need to do it and will get it done Tues. and remove overspray Fri. Thurs. I went to a great cruise, over 500 cars and got to watch the new Planet Of Apes at the drive-in. Although I didn't win a trophy I got alot of looks from people going by. Which is worth more to me. I was in a group of Corvettes and next to a great looking Chevelle Convert. and they didn't even get second looks. :tup: The fact that my side blades touched the grass helped. Even had a lady tell her daughter that my car raised up when driving it was soo low LOL No I don't have air ride.:hello:

Nick -- why is there a risk with the R2C? I am curous.

I finished waxing my hood/roof/bumper, after Sears Point. I had more tar ball, rubber, black sh1t all over the place. A couple of paint chips but my acrylic wax helped reduce clean up time. At least an extra hour to take off junk.

Totally worth it. When you get a paint chip at the track it hurts so much less. I do not care actually. It reminds me of how much fun I had.

The only reason I say risk is because as far as the 370z goes there isn't a lot of info on gains(there are some dyno's out there) and the obvious heat soak situation of a short ram on the Z seems to be unconfirmed. So to me it's sort of a shot in the dark that they will show gains like a LT intake or drop ins.

If I knew for sure they showed gains and didn't heat soak I'd be all over them.

there is heat soak if there is leak in the heatsheilds. the R2C's were much better IAT wise vs others ive tried, nearly stock unless stopped for a long time. im not here to bash other manuf's short rams so i will leave it at that. :icon17:

but you buy those short ram kits for the response, not power gain imho. the time it takes for the throttle to respond is much shorter and a lot freer mid-band. stock box bogs worse when outside rev range. i use to be able to easily chirp 3rd but with stock box HPS+K&N = harder... actually havent been able to yet.

dammit, this is making want to get the R2Cs now. (must be patient and wait for Motordyne to release their intake...).

That is almost unavoidable at the track unfortunately, I think I would swallow my pride and use some blue painters tape to cover the front bumper and side skirts if I ever get to do a track day.
