Z-tech traction control module + brake boost + burnout

Yeah, it's all subjective. You have to tune the car to the way you drive, and you can only know what to tune when you know the car through time.

I've had mine for 8 years now, and I made some big changes this year to it. First outing at the track, I went off (full 360'd it, it was sweet) because I just wasn't expecting some of the results of those changes. It's always best to learn, and make incremental changes.

Good to keep other experiences in the back of your head so you know what to do if your own experience matches up, but ultimately you won't know what to look for if you don't baseline it. And keep in mind your baseline that you establish can change even day to day - temperatures, track conditions, what you ate that day, your mood, etc. An installed part can't fix that.

Baseline is going with a 100% bone stock Z and only being able to get in a handful of laps before the brakes go away or oil temps go sky high and shuts the car down.

Seethru. What you should do. Do a trackday or 2 with a bone stock car. With the VDC on. On used up tires. Push the hard as you can. Try to get the rear to step out. Feel what it's like to drive an unrulily car. It's call experience. Then slowly make your changes as you get faster with more track time. If you throw everything at the car all at once. You will have a big hole in your learning. If you make all the changes at once. There is a good chance that you will not get any faster. I've seen guys do one trackday. The next time I see them. They went out a bought a set of JRZ 4 way coil-overs. Have no idea on how to set them up. And spend the rest of the season trying to figure out why they never got out of the beginner group.

I think all of us here understand that the basic longevity/safety mods don't really affect how the car drives. Oil cooler, brake fluid, brake pads.

It's different than taking a stock car, before you've driven it, and removing the electronic aids, adding a bunch of camber, making it stiffer, and throwing power at it hoping it makes you a faster driver.

Ok
