I forgot how fast that thing is at 15 psi, with the dohc swap, performance camshafts and boost at 20-22 psi, tis going to be godly.
It was already faster at 15 psi, then my HHR SS was on the stock K04 at 26 psi.
The 600 bucks I spent for the spec 3+ cltuch and spec fly wheel was suppose to be money to finish up the dohc head swap on the van. But hell I couldn't pass up that deal.

Think I'm pretty much done with helping people on this site.
Everything becomes a pissing contest.
If people want to know how a BNR K04-GT2871 runs with a Trifecta tune or how to hook the BOV right so they don't need a MAF relocate, etc, etc., they can learn themselves.
They can spend there own money, take the time and learn it, instead of relying on other people to do all the ground work for them.

I wasn't talking about the Bama fellows.
I would help you guys any way I could.
Just like some of you have helped me out when I didn't know something or offered to help.
Speaking of help, I forgot to mention I do own a transmission jack also.
I bought it for the van when I had to drop the transmission to put a new clutch fork in.
I have the tools and everything to do the transmission barring there are no special GM tools required.
I just don't like tearing into a brand new car. I'm always afraid I'll break something that cost and arm & leg,

The other upside of having a trans shop do the work, is there is usually some sort of warranty included with the install.

Well if a shop won't warranty there work, I would never take a car there ever anyways.
No one expects them to warranty the clutch itself but the actual work/install should be.
I'll call around up here. Thanks for looking around down there.

Hey 08inbama I have been seeing you alot lately on *** creek. I drive the blue Z with Konig's you rev'd up at the other night lol. I saw you friday night too. It's random that you're in the IBEW my dad taught 5th year in Muscle Shoals for the past year and a half or so, he just recently stopped teaching. You will probably see my pontiac running around a bunch as some high school kid in florence bought it

yeah I saw you last night and the other night, lol... I met up with a guy in a silver WS6 TA(greg, don't know his last name, lol, his is the one with the black C6 Corvette wheels), he just bought the car and wanted to show it to me, though someone in town owned it before him so you may have already seen it running around... it was too wet for us to have any fun last night though, his car is cammed, etc. and i'm sure we'll tie them up in the oh so near future
i'm sure you'll see a lot of out at the Autozone this summer(right now the ricers have taken over but this summer, we'll move in with some of the more predominant cars of the Shoals, lol)... stop by sometime... and I like the 350Z a lot, who did you buy the car from? a guy named Josh Mitchell? if so, I know him as well and i'm pretty sure you bought his old car
if so, i've already smoked your car several times, just without you driving it, lol... he is the guy I know who has the GT500 that i've mentioned on here before... But I always loved the way that car looked and Josh honestly wasn't a guy who raced it a lot, ****, he doesn't even run the GT500 much
and I will say if you bought his car you didn't buy an abused car, because he takes care of his cars very much... his dad died in a motorcycle wreck a couple of months ago and I knew he was looking to sell the 350z... if its the same guy
oh yeah Josh, I think 15 people should be the cut off for our dyno day, that would be less than $70/each... I think we'll easily fill those spots, but if you get too many people, no doubt the price gets cheaper......but time becomes an issue, it takes a little while to strap a car down, you got 25 folks waiting for pulls, there is a good chance someone is going to get f*cked...
if finances are a problem for anyone that regularly post in THIS topic, i'd be willing to help out... but i'd rather have a smaller group of 15 that will actually have sufficient time than people getting screwed over and pissed off because we run out of time, which i've seen happen with these things before...
I'd rather be sitting there saying "anyone else want a pull?" then "damn, the shop guys are wanting to go home"
