Beginning of March I started to address the heat issues. Z’s run hot as it is, plus I live in south TX, so that doesn’t help. I began to wrap my intake tubes in EDI gold tape. My friend has his wrapped in his LS swapped s13 drift car, and saw intake temps drop usually around 14 to 19 degrees. Since last time I talked with my tuner Seb@specialty Z the car was pulling timing and sensing a little knock off and on and we couldn’t figure out why. So I added an oil catch can, to make sure no oil was getting into the fuel and lowering the octane, and now I’m heat wrapping the intakes, and planning in getting an oil cooler (My 2011 doesn’t have one.)

So we’ll see if we can’t turn up the power, add flat footed shifting, launch control, and turn the traction control down a bit soon.

Also, the whole time I’m doing this, my brat of a GF is sending pictures of her drinking MY lemonade!
