Well i ended up getting a plenum spacer from Z1 and wow talk about huge difference. With the combo of the spacer and new plugs the car is eager to just get up and go! Definatly noticed gains from 2.5k to red line

Just an update! I ended up picking up a set of Megan resonated test pipes, I got a really good deal I couldn't refuse so I picked up a set and modified my list a little decided to scrap the twin turbo and the motor build and go for a vortech tuner kit. I also scrapped the springs and shocks and decided to go BC Racing coilovers, also scrapped the carbon fiber doors and trunk as well. Just decided to simplify it a bit let me know what you guys think so far.

LOL yea i know whats its like to have a loud exhaust before i got my cat back i ran open Y-pipe, then for like a day or 2 i ran open cats so it would be easier to install my cat back when i was going to. Now you want to talk about loud the Y-pipe you could hear me for 2 miles down the road. Open cat was even worse lol. I will admit both of which sounds AWESOME! Open Y-pipe at 7k sounds like a friggen F1 car and open cat sounds like a all motor cammed Z. But now it sounds smooth but very aggressive and its not to bad at highway speeds or under normal driving. Ive noticed that you can really hear your exhaust note with your seats folded down but when there up those things insolate some sound! I took some pics of the exhaust yesterday while i had the car on the lift i havent taken video yet.

Also one question i did have about supercharging the G when your pushing 400WHP do you need to upgrade any of the drivetrain things minus the tranny like drive shaft lsd or anything like that?

Id say if your going to spend 170 a wheel for powdercoating, pick up a set of oem 19s instead. As for coilovers stance or bc racing.

I saw that Lenox (EvilWayz) has some coilovers. You should talk to him. Send him a PM

BTW sorry about the lack of punctuation in my above post, that was done on the way to work on my phone. But yea il link you to the coil overs http://www.enjukuracing.com/racing-t...0z-p-8575.html

Plus they have adjustable camber up front so it solves that issue. When i get home il add another link for the rear coilover they have an extension piece you get to run the adjustment for dampening into the cabin for the rear shock.

But hell adjustable dampening, rebuildable shock, adjustable camber up front, AND i can slam my car?! I say EPIC WIN all the way around!

Also i forgot to cross off pop charger and ztube off my list all thats left is tune for my bolt on list.
