| Well i got the Z fired up saturday after a little more then 2 months of straight down time. She started right up saturday afternoon and sounded great. Put the exhaust back on and went out and cruised the night. Put about 100 miles on her saturday night. Followed that up with a 120 mile drive to see Z324U's laggy POS :) hehe j/k (his car pulls like crazy once its in boost, fyi he did the 427rwhp on 19psi the other day). I get down there and she was running pretty good considering i just had every bolt off the engine lol. We went out and took it up to lowest boost it will go (10.5psi) w/ the motor having more then 250+miles on it now. She showed no signs of smoke or blow by. It felt REALLY nice considering it was only 10.5psi. The turbos (AMZ Stage 2s) seemed a big laggy but then i remembered i'm running JWT 500 cams so i think my powerband has moved further up and i give up some midrange torque/hp and also still on single intake. No big deal, it pulled pretty hard all the way to 6500rpms when i shut it down. It didn't seem to want to stop pulling unlike the stock setup that seems to fall on its face after 6k. Some small issues i'm still dealing with but thats to be expected. It now has about 380 miles on it and i'm enjoying every mile. I will await another 150 miles on it and until the timing problem is fixed before the boost comes up to 15psi and all hell breaks loose =). Then wait until the 1000 mile mark before she sees a bit of c16 and 24psi :). Issue 1: Sometimes when trying to crank it, its loading up with fuel and have to hold the gas at 3k to clean it out and then after that it runs great. Issue 2: The CAS is retarded all the way and still showing 20deg timing. The cams are +4 degrees advance so i dont know if 20 degrees is normal considering the cam advancement or if my CAS is bad. SGP dont work on sunday nights so i can't bug them lol. Special thanks to almost all the vendors hehe SGP for more then half the performance parts, all my oem parts, for the wrong parts at times :), for the great customer service and fast shipping, for the AOL tech help, for the telephone tech help, and for whatever else Kyle did for me for the past 2 months.
