I've just recently got re-involved with the intake to help get things caught up. I'm having a bunch sent to me right now. By this time next week we should be caught up to 4 weeks ago and then I'll start whittling that down.

Think i am going with the svede intake. Spencer said it was about a 2-3 week timeframe to receive the intake which is not bad at all. I know there was a real bad backlog as stated above but seems like that will be fixed. Thx for the input everyone. Nittos will probably be my next mod after the svede

awesome



I actually just looked at my tires, I know the owner before me said something about nitto and looked and they ended up being the 555s. They are a pretty decent tire

You want a great tire, give the Dunlop Direzza Star Spec a try

I would completely skip the NT555 and if you need tires go for the NT05. They're a much better tire. I think you need to ask yourself if it's time to buy tires, or if you have more money to go fast.

I havent tried the nt05's. Def be open to those. Have to look at the treadlife on them though. Car is still my daily and i dont want to buy tires every year. Going to do the intake first then tires hopefully in a month or two

I've had NT05's on my Z for almost 10k miles now and they still have another 4-5k left in them I think. The NT555's don't last much longer than the NT05's either. I had the NT555's on my GTO.

That is good news. I can wait to see what the intake does on my 421 stroker. I have tried the homemade 4" intake and really want to see how this does.
