However, that sticker does me no good right now as I cannot keep the check engine lights away long enough for the I/M Monitors to become ready. Not sure what I will do when May rolls around and is time for the Z's first smog check. Stillen completely mis-represents their kits so anyone who does not need to worry about smog inspections don't go with the Stillen kit.

I am currently working with a tuner to see what we can find and clean up the cold idle to not pop anymore P0300s.

To tchertel, send your car to Seb at Specialty Z. He will get you squared away.

Take it from me who's been through hell and back. Mickey Mouse Racing hack job install + sh!t tune = my Z sat abandoned on the street for three years untouched because I didn't want to deal with the headaches. I finally sucked it up and towed my Z 90 miles one way to Seb. After tuning my custom supercharger setup, I've been dailying it for the past year and a half at ~400hp/380ftlb with absolutely no issues. I'm going twins soon so that'll be fun.

To the OP, go with the Fast Intentions kit. But the most important part is finding a solid tuner. This is make or break.
Rusty, Hotrodz and redondoaveb like this.
