Ok, after tune I ended up w 314 whp & 260 ft lbs torque. Was hopin to be around 320 but oh well. Baseline was 299 before tune so the UpRev gave me 15hp, not bad. It revs amazingly smooth now and feels much quicker. Props to the guys at R/T Tuning in PA. Very cool dudes, great experience. Oh and I ALMOST got my stock suspension settings back after installin Swifts. I have just a tad more camber than stock, im ok w that

Where is this R/T Tuning? I'm looking for somewhere near me to get a tune and I need a post-Swift alignment as well.

Lansdale PA. They even gave me a gratious discount for being a forum member. Real nice guys over there.

Drove the Z to work. Drove the Z to lunch. Could not get back into my work site because my tags were expired. Doh! Drove to DMV. In and out in 5 minutes. That's right, 5 minutes. DMV express at the Commissioner of Revenue's office ROCKS! Drove back to work.

***Please note: No reference to other posts, other threads, photography, or mowing lawns (that is what all the kids are calling it these days). That is all...

Then in that case, your post is void because you are OFF TOPIC.

kidding... wow, 5 minutes in and out? You should have taken an HDR pic (reference to photography). Did you park on the grass (reference to mowing lawns) to get in and out that fast? You should see this other thread called "DMV Horror Stories" (reference to other threads) to get you in and out faster.

hehehe.

I am starting a lawn care and mowing thread soon. Look for it in the lounge. It will be chock full of mowing tips, "my fertilizer is better than yours" threads, mower mods, gas or electric discussions, high performance weed whacking strings, JDM accessories for your fertilizer spreader and, of course, photos.

It is amazing how much smoother the car runs after a tune, I was amazed too even though my hp gains were not as high as yours. Good job on the camber! I had no trouble getting it close to stock camber which is why I find it a bit strange that some people's camber is so far off after installing the Swifts and getting an alignment.

guys... question for you guys... why all this special needs for an alignment post Swift springs? Can't you guys just take it to any local wheel/tire/alignment place? Does it have to be special? Heck dealer (I shudder when I say that) even. I am just curious... maybe you guys know something I need to know.

it really depends on the tech doing the alignment and how well the machine is caliberated. often times i only go to alignment shops by word of mouth of other car guys getting similar cars aligned.

luckily more and more speedshops in my area have alignment equipment since they install coilovers, etc. so they know how to handle my modded cars better than just some guy at some local mechanics shop.

your dealer can do it, but sometimes they will scratch or even wash your car even if you tell them not to.
