Default Here's how you know you're addicted...

Took the Z out tonight to the gym.

Got on the on-ramp for a little spirited run up to highway speed , and immediatly blew the tires off:o . Worked out, and of course haddd to get back on the highway for the ride home. Said i'd be a little more conservative with the right foot....and at 40 mph dropped it into 2nd and blewwww the tires off again:o :o . The best part was when i was almost done for the night, i bumped into a WRX at a stoplight (i know we cant post street racing on here....and there was no race )......what a day.

Anyway, to the point of the title. I've been thinking of taking the Z back to a certain shop around Fort Worth (not sure if they're still a supporting member, so i wont say) to get a 90MM TB/ intake.....or are the LS2's better????

I dont know how any of you hook with power adders. I've only got 440 rwhp, and it blows the RII's off........but i know how you all get there, cause i want more too.
