A 1/4 mile @ a time
iTrader: (4)
The rest of my trip consisted of me stopping every 2 hours to clean the bugs off of my window. Otherwise it was much less fun than before we split off. It was a long trip home, I think it ended up being about 11 hours. It was worth it though.
Thanks

Haha. Yeah. I really liked the sound of the FI. Chris said you two had pretty much the exact same set up even though his seemed a little bit louder. He thought it may be because his has been on longer and may have burnt through a little more. Plus I didn't feel like trying to do a tip swap with Ark.

We were cruising for a good while - crotch rockets are always fun to ride with. I let him get up ahead in case there were cops. I'm surprised we only saw one patrolman that had stopped someone. Other than that, zero bacons out there.
I'm cutting my GoPro footage together tonight so it'll show the point where I finally caught up to you on 81 after some minor speeding

I did notice his being a bit louder than mine.... I'm wondering if there is an issue with my FI RHFCs or perhaps it really is a matter of his exhaust being broken in for a few more weeks than me.

OR, maybe I have an exhaust leak?
We do this thing called Christmas in July... Just saying

BTW, I spoke to my local tuner who does UpRev and EcuTek and I am wait listed for getting a tune. That's fine with me because I need to make a decision on what to do with my intake manifold. The decision between the M370 and the Z1, or this other solution you may have mentioned... do you recall what it was? More of a home-brew approach with a stock manifold, a bottle of whiskey and a cigar, if I recall correctly?

Chris was of a mind that he could port his intake manifold with sandpaper and a sixpack. I was thinking there are likely intake spacers available, if you troll the Z forum.

It sucks that I couldn't have made it to the meet with my car but the new trans, new power steering pump including synthetic oil change (the only thing I paid for) fixing windshield cowl noise and new exhaust gaskets are all making up(especially the first one) for not having it on saturday. Now it is fun and games while enjoying smoothly shifting (or down-shifting) gears ahhh feels good to have her back after nearly a week!!!
Next meet up I am even willing to drive down as far as the tail of the dragon

I'm leaning towards an M370 but am also on the fence as to whether it's needed or just preferred.

My cats went on Christmas Eve, however they were used. I've put about 5,000 miles on them, plus the 5,000 they already had. I may just buy new ones and sell the ones I have, just because. I'd be too paranoid that maybe they're clogged or something when I'm getting a tune.

Yep, this. In "speaking" with some folks that seems to be largely what the Z1 consists of and at least one feels that he has modded his and gotten equal gains to the M370. Would likely be a long process I imagine though. I'm leaning towards an M370 but am also on the fence as to whether it's needed or just preferred.
If I do replace, it'll be after a tune because I may get an unresonated X-pipe for my system, depending on how much louder a tune makes the exhaust sound.

I did consider it but when I spoke to the tuner (he only does Z's and G's) who installed my entire FI setup he said it wasn't really worth it and that the gains were mostly at the high-end just like others who have posted on the forums.
This is the link I was referring to from our meet about someone looking to do both the upper and lower manifolds. I'm interested to see the results of having both the upper and the lower done.

At this point, I am happy with where my car sits. The only other mod I would consider is changing my SRIs to CAIs and then a quick re-tune and swapping out the drive shaft. Then again $600 for a drive shaft is quite a bit.
Hope that helps.
