i am sure you are right about there not being a break in period. maybe i mis understood or was told something that is incorrect. however i was told that the springs benefit from several "heat cycles" and a few hundred miles and that after driving the car for awhile it would run or perform a little better. maybe this was just better than them saying we messed up your dyno pull the first time around.

the "stage 1" is just something i have always referred to as a car with basic bolt ons. meaning the 1st stage most go thru when making improvements is a CAI, set of LT's and a tune. also MTI Racing refers to this as their stage 1 kit so i am in the habbit of saying that.


basically what i mean is i hope to be able to hang with a Z and think i can as long as he does not have a CAI, a set of LT's and a tune cos then i am in trouble.

Well get to the track. If you can run mid 11s and trap ~125 mph you should be able to hang with a Z06...power doesn't mean anything unless you can use it

Good numbers.
