So I am interested in doing a similar exhaust set up - intake set-up - and you've shown how important a tune is ... So hopefully that route as well.
Questions:
- First how well does your Z hold up on the track? Oil temps, brakes, ect.
- The steering complications you ran into post LTH install. What caused it? How could myself/others prevent or avoid it? Are there any F.I. LTH D.I.Y.s?
- The tune. From what I gathered, this is what really brought a lot of your parts together - making a big difference in the car. When I reach that point, what should I look for when trying to find a tuner (I live in South Florida)? What is a reasonable cost of a tune?
Again, that you for this awesome thread. Sweet Car.

Thanks!
My driving skills are not up to the level the Z is at. So as my skills improve, and I run into things. That's when I make improvement to the Z or I feel the need to make changes before I run into problems.
I did the oil cooler first as anybody else has run into that problem. So the oil temp has never been a problem.
Skills increased. So next problem was fuel starvation. Fixed that with "phunks" kit.
I'm working on the brakes now. Ducts, 2 piece rotors, stainless lines, and pads.
The install for the LTH's. There is a sensor on the rack and pinion that had to be reset by the dealer. The hardest part of the install is getting the heat shield out of the driving side. PITA! That's what takes so long. The install is pretty straight forward if you know your way around a car somewhat. If you are doing the LTH's. Drop the stock manifold and cats together as one piece. this way you don't have to fool with the demon bolts.
For a tuner in Fla. Can't answer that. As for the tune itself, it brought the mods together. It feels more refined.
