Well I definately would like to add more Hp and Tq to the Z but that is going to take some doing as my wife is a very conservative driver. I think my goal would be about 425-450rwhp because it must be streetable for my wife. The question is how best to get to that goal. I have been reading the forum threads on performance and need to find a good builder here in Houston TX.

BTW, here is my Challenger at West Houston Muscle M&G.http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/...2_613656_n.jpg

FI & UpRev with exhaust, intake, pulley mods.....etc., etc.....

Good luck & deep pockets!

A muscle car, hot rod sedan, and a Z.

Now THAT's one happy family!:tup:

See, now that's what I'm talking about. That stance alone make a world of difference. Very nice!

As for the Z, a GTM Stage 2 kit with a nice electronic boost controller is just what the doctor ordered. You can dial down the boost. I run stock boost most the time on my TT but run about 16.5 psi with the push of my index finger (with my hand on the shifter in 1st). :happydance:

I've driven one before. I was amazed by the feeling. I'm definitely getting this car soon.

Boy is that ever true. When I got my GMC Sierra a few years ago after years of other GM trucks, I was impressed with how well it steered, cornered and the lack of sway on turns (for a truck). A little time behind the wheel of the Z reminded me of that the GMC is indeed, a pickup truck.

Well I am fortunate to be able to mod my rides and I like them show and go!! I have not seen any lowered Z's around but have seen several with TC. My goal is to TC or SC if available. What I don't know is whether these rides are difficult to tune. The Dodge rides are a PIA to tune and there are a hand full of folks that can do it. Does the same hold true for the Z's?

I got challenged by a Mercedes AMG today at a light and was impressed that I kept up with him and then in 3rd gear started to reel him in. He shut down soon thereafter. I would have thought the AMG would have walked away from me easily.

^^^ On a closed course. Professional drivers. Do not attempt this yourself... :rolleyes:

You should not have any trouble finding a tuner in Texas. :tup: Sam at GTM has tunes for his kits and will be happy to work with you/your tuner should there be any issues.

Those dodges are nice, but they aren't sports cars. Totally different kind of ride. Awesome that you can/do appreciate and own both!

Isn't Baker Tuning in Houston?

E

I agree. The car seems quite refined to me. At first I thought it was the 7AT but honestly I think it's just the platform.

Yes found it. See Baker Tuning

They have in business since April 2010 and that worries me a bit. Would rather have a company with a longer business record though.

IF there is any hesitation talk to TheDreamer and JB-370z. Dreamer has a GTM sc installed by Baker and JB has a GTM TT installed by Baker and both of their Z's are not garage queens they get run hard.

O and they have been in business long before April 2010 so dont go by that date, not sure how long the tuning division has been around but i know they were there in 09

Nice Rides OP!!! Yes, the Z can't hold a candle to your Dodges in the hp department, but in terms of overall "feel" (cockpit, handling, etc) and looks, imo, the Z owns.

They are associated with Baker Nissan, so they have that going for them. They have done some impressive work and they had Smoky Nagata in doing some work last year.
