Default Upgraded the Z.

Cleaned the winter dust off the Z and contacted Fran @ Race Proven Motorsports (Claymont, DE) for a cam package. He provided his RPM-3 cam, Patriot Performance hardened pushrods, Patriot Performance Xtreme dual springs, Mellings oil pump, and a LS2 timing chain. Dyno tuned......
It's really pi$$ed off now!

430 RWHP / 389 foot-lbs torque



This is the 236/242 113LSA on a warm start up:


I also grabbed some TSW Nurburgring wheels (18/19) wrapped in Hankook Ventus V12 Evos (265/305) from Discount Tire Direct. Fran then lowered the car on Zip bolts:










Fran has one hell of a shop. Always quality work.

If the wheels were black, it'd look a lot better.
