Default Thanks G-Force

I took my Z to the guys today and had them install Kooks Headers and a Kooks catted Y-Pipe. they put a 408 in in December and I was happy the car had LT'S on it with an ORY pipe already. mike adjusted the tune and with the car running thru the muffler because I forgot to pull the plate out of the Borla it still picked up 26 RWHP and more tourqe & the curves are flatter. I'm a believer in the difference a good header makes now. Next is a 90/90 combo. The combination of the motor built by Eric and installed and tuned by G-Force is on the right track. Thanks Guys...

The car made 454.9 RWHP & 474.XX TQ and that was thru the stock intake & TB. and a very small cam for drivability. I'm happy overall after the 90/90 goes on and I have the convertor tightened up I will see if I want to change the cam. Mike and the guys have done a great job with the car...

Saw the car up there, those gains are awesome! I'd expect some more gains going to the better intake setup as well.

Thomas, I heard Mikey has a set with your name on them..

I'll buy (for a limited number of ppl) just name the location.

Yeah yeah yeah I know I'm getting the Kooks they are at The Force right now. I'm also following suit with the GAS. I just have to call Nitro Dave to get the fuel cell with the high pressure pump in it. I'm going to do the normal 116 in the fuel cell, and 93 in the tank. I also need to get the new mount for my TQ arm so it does not attach to the back of the tranny. Beard post up the numbers on gas that should be something to see. Your exaust flow is KRAZZZYYY, I can't wait to see the numbers.
