Message	with supporting mods (intake, exhaust, ic's, injectors, boost controller, etc) and call it a day for power mods. Then focus on braking & handling, which alone can set you back several thousand dollars. After that, you make your Z look better inside & out. And presto, you're driving a nicer and faster car that most of what's available today, and you didn't ruin yourself in the process. Also, setting HP goals is stupid as hell. Your goals should be in terms of a purpose for the car, not an arbitrary number. _________________________________________________________________________________ Im n0t Sarcastic (Kenny): not to over do it, but you're certainly the source of high-class Z mods ZEngineer24: what do you mean by that? Im n0t Sarcastic: I just mean, your Z is one I really admire "The Z is the cause and the solution to all my problems" -- Me "If your car was my car, I'd think it's broken"
