What was your best mod?

DrEvil · 09-09-2011, 09:41 PM

All of us or most of us here have modded the bejesus out of our Z's, but of all you have done to the car, what do you think improved it the best.
I've done the intake and exhuast,got the uptune and even some changes to the suspension and the car runs great! But about two months ago I had an lsd installed ( I have a base/touring that had an open diff.)and that put the car over the top. What good is all that hp when you can't put it to the street, not mention th overall improvement in handling and controll of the car.
So what was yiur best mod?

Going to Spring Mountain and improving how I drive is the best "mod" I ever did for any performance car I have owned.

SO far the F.I. CBE....

Dyno-tune with Uprev really cleaned the AFR up and pulled some untapped torque in the low to mid-range.

I really cant say to be honest. The mod that made the biggest difference in the but dyno would have to be the motordyne intake manifold, but as far as overall performance I would have to say the F.Int. headers. Although the NST pulleys did help the car rev a little quicker too.

single best mod was F.I exhaust because it made my car sound like a beast and i felt the increase in hp.

not really a "mod" but corner balanced and aligned.

Armonster · 09-10-2011, 12:19 AM

Stainless steel clutch line + helper spring.

In a close second would be the permanent sealant (Opti-coat, do a search).

Best mod I've done to my z is installing myself in it.
