Last I heard was a Stage I. No big deal, it's the daily driver for Alex. It drives to and from work which is about 20 minutes each way. After the tune we probably will barely be at about 410 rwhp? I'll have to get back with the real amount later.

Well it would be nice if we could cruise soon since I just got word that Ryan (TXZ28LS1) is getting deployed again to the sands. Or we can get together for a few drinks before he's gone.

Update: The Z is getting a Stage 2 upgrade! Can't wait for the new numbers.
