Turbo Time
As most of you know, I'm getting the APS single turbo put on my Z. Well, I'm driving down to Phoenix on Monday to a shop called DynoComp for the week to do the install. Here's the complete list of what's going in:

* APS S/T
* JWT Clutch
* APS Tall Boy Plenum
* Zeitronix all-in-one gauge/LCD display mounted inside the center nav compartment (I don't have the nav).

I hope to be putting about 380 to the wheels with this setup. I can't freakin' wait, I'll be driving back on Friday if they finish on schedule (which I doubt since this is the first S/T install they've done).

I'll be anxious to show it to you guys so I'll try to make it to the Wed night meet on the 17th. Wish me luck, I don't think I'll be able to sleep next week.

I see Yogi's 2 beers & a lap dance and raise a session at the local asian massage parlor with a happy ending (given by the girls, of course).

I think I'll just watch. Even though I'm a good driver I wouldn't want something to break and it be my fault . It's like walking into a pottery store; you know you're not going to break anything but yet you still have the feeling like everything is going to fall off the shelves and break with it being your fault .

Hell, I'll get a nice sized duffle bag and sneak you into Europe! It'll take a few weeks since it's most likely going via TMO. I'll get you enough Chef Boyardee and Gatorade.

Yeah, I told him to give me an aggressive tune. Considering I'll have no cats and a plenum, it might be close!

delayed thanks to the crappy job Sin City did on the borla header install - some bolts were missing, some were stripped, so it looks like pick up will be the 18th. I hate those guys.
