theres only like 3 within 50 miles of me or something last i checked. worth it for the power and ease of tunage though

figured id get some cans as well for that

oh yeah so i just got an email back from Matt M and he recommends that i go with the zzp 82# springs. soo i may snag those from young nicholas

 

Of course he did. They are zzp springs, .

 

yeah i know buuut he said 'blablabla people run them with the cams no issues so i recommend them' sooo YOLO nicks got em for a cxnthair cheaper than zzp sells em for

 

Exactly what I though hahaha. I'm going back and forth on if I want to sell them or not. I won't be getting cams, but If my turbo doesn't spool till 4500 then I'd like to ride that power to 8k instead of 7. As for E85... Damn I have always been lucky I guess. Back home it was a mile down the road and here in indy its maybe 5. Its good stuff but I don't know about driving that far

 

3 within 50 miles? Do it to it lol

And I have no complaints about my zzp 82# springs. Ran them for 2 years with hundreds of trips to 7600 and some to 8k+

 

Not saying anything bad about the springs, just pointing out zzp recommended them cuz they will get the dough for them.

 

i know, they dont even sell the 75# supertechs so i ind of expected that answer, but on the other hand zzp knows their **** and i doubt they would recommend **** that wouldn't work for my described application

 

Both supertechs and their springs would work. First thing I thought, even if they sell both, they would rather sell the ones they make for higher profit.. Not saying they aren't good springs. They are, I'm just thinking out loud

 

valid thoughts, my friend. ps sorry you didn't win fcotm man

 

Yes they do.

I purchased them from them last year. I ordered the 78# supertechs off their site, but they sent me 75# supertechs. I made a note of this in the reviews.

Yep, that's what I was getting at.

I'm sure the zzp springs are just fine.

Once u add ti retainers though, they are almost as expensive as the supertechs.

That's why I went with supertechs over zzps. Also, because they are a dual spring.

 

Oh I know, but I would expect the to recommend their product, as you all said lol.

However, when I was asking about fuel pumps recently, they actually recommended I get the AEM 320 E85 model over using the ZZP 450 that I have in the other car. That was good news because I have a new AEM sitting at home lol.

 

It ain't no thang. He's got a nice car, I like the way it looks but when it comes down to it I bet I have more hours on mine in the shop than he does miles

 

i should be fine for now with my current fueling too right? sure one day i'll have to upgrade the pump maybe do the brfrs but prob not till i go tvs

 

exactly. and i mean hell he bought that car with that paintjob. i love it but you got so much work into yours plus you are the one on the forum holding **** down

 

Yes your pump will be good. I just mentioned the pump bit because it was a case where they recommended something over their own product for my specific application.

 

i know just figured while we were halfway on the subject of fueling


hmm i wonder if my car has had the fuel system recall done yet i should do that now if not

 

What is this fuel system recall you speak of? lol

 

yes and make sure you have a fresh fuel filter too. With all said, e85, cams, ported head, and a 2.7 you should be 300whp, not the 280 or something you mention

 

I agree. This is pretty much the setup on my now winter ride. The engine from my red 05 is in it and has a ported head, S2 cams, ZZP springs, 80's, 2.7, E85, just with a stock catback at least for now. I anticipate 300.

 

hard to believe i'm probly making 270ish as of now and after ALL this work i'll be making only 300 tho

 

Well here is I guess a little comparison. Nothing real concrete, but its relevant to this. Back when I was on meth and a 2.8 at the track on a fairly conservative tune I was running 13.8's and trapping 105-106 with a best of 106.7mph. I switched to E85 and a 2.7 and to a 3" exhaust instead of 2.5 and was running 13.6's at 108-109 with a best trap of 109.7mph. That was also what I would consider a fairly conservative tune by today's standards. Stock head and stock cams for both events.

 

how much power were you making (if you knew)?

if i could drive worth a **** i bet my car would pull close times to that. i'm also on a conservative tune

 

I don't know what power levels. If I had to guess I'd say 260-265whp on meth and 280-285whp on E85, but that is just speculation. I am contemplating throwing a 3" downpipe and fixing the 3" exhaust I have laying here on the gray car in the spring and saying screw the stock exhaust lol then pushing it a little. On the stock blower 310+whp shouldn't be much trouble with the ported head and cams on an exhaust that can breathe.

 

what if i beat two different gmstg1 lnfs so far lol

 

What relevance is that?
