Honestly man it's such an easy install I say just go for it. If you do happen to need service on the ZL1, it's an easy part to disconnect and throw the stock PCV line on (at least for the 5.0 it is). I know for the coyote motor the passenger side one is the biggie.

Still surprised they don't put one on force-fed motors from the factory like yours. Especially cranking out that kind of power stock!

On top of that if it was something major you often have the regional rep come in and look at it. I picked up the extended warranty so definitely want to be careful. The catch can would more than likely be my only mod. Plenty of HP, no suspension upgrades and I love the dual mode exhaust. Definitely have some thinking to do. Will definitely have a talk with the service manager at Radley Chevrolet. Thanks Shahid.

not too caught up in the convo, but we use Criswell of Gaithersburg or Germantown as our main Nissan dealership

dmhenderson 07-02-2013 09:29 AM

Criswell Germantown has been very good to me. When I bought the 2012, their service manager was a guy named Bob who put up with endless electrical troubleshooting on my car. I bought their entire service department pizza on a Friday once because they really went out of their way to help me (when they didn't have to).

Bob was fired after about 6 months. No idea why.

The new Service manager used to be their parts guy (Andy Deusa). Took my car in to have a tire mounted and they absolutely destroyed the powder on one of the wheels on the balancing machine - don't ask me how.

Anyway, they paid for the wheel without question and even let me use my original powder shop to have it done.

Good folks at Criswell.

Pretty much. When the government turns on its people this is what it takes.

Steve, I hope you know me well enough to trust what I say. That said, you shouldn't listen to everything to see on the media (since when are they out to tell the truth, anyway?).

Snowden is a giant sack of douche with a value less than that of a bag of smashed a$$holes, and he deserves to hang. That's all I've got to say about that.

Yes, I will marry you.

GM_Traitor3.5 07-03-2013 08:50 AM

Khoi, I need some baseline dyno runs with the new 5.0

When would be a good weekend to drop by for some dyno pulls? :happydance:

Weekend will probably not be so good, are there any weekdays that would work for you?

The media isn't really siding with him.

m4a1mustang 07-03-2013 08:55 AM

The MSM works for the state.

I haven't been following the media too much either. Regardless, the media is still going to report what they think they know and the blitherings he spouts out (true, or false), with no vetting done at all (because they can't, of course). That is modern media: report first, vet later.

So my point remains the same.

He fact-checks out pretty well so far IMO. To be honest he's been pulling his punches.

Red__Zed 07-03-2013 08:58 AM

It's not like he's sharing anything we didn't already know. This stuff has been going on since at least '95

I'd say giving up a $200k a year job, his citizenship, a beautiful girlfriend that he'll likely never see again and his general sense of safety to speak up against something he thought was wrong is pretty brave.

So what are the facts, then? Understand, if you truly knew the facts, you wouldn't be allowed to post them here anyway...right?

dmhenderson 07-03-2013 09:04 AM

And yeah, this is Fri for me.

dmhenderson 07-03-2013 09:05 AM

My new hobby is posting strings of NSA "watch" words onto random forums.

You haven't been paying attention, then. I don't mean to be blunt, but the "$200k a year job" (LAUGHABLY high for a BAH contractor that is only a network admin, btw - he really only made about $120K which is shit-money for a BAH contractor in Hawaii. Here, that'd be something like 80-90K in this area...which is beans for them) has been disproven already.

Not even going to touch the beautiful girlfriend part lol.

Again, you are assuming everything he says is even true. How do you know? Maybe I'll go to the media tomorrow and say I'm truly a robot made by the government powered by a cold-fusion heart. You should see my robot grip! You'll believe me too, right? :-/

I don't have to post anything, but if you look at the list of places I've lived in the last 2 years, it's pretty evident it's not being done to keep me in the dark.

"Network Admin" can mean a lot of things. It's a very adaptable position title. Ive seen guys with that title that setup network equipment all day and ive seen guys with that title who do intrusive monitoring and network penetration stuff. Just saying...
200k is very likely for the latter example.

MightyBobo 07-03-2013 09:15 AM

Actually, I am War Machine.

I mean, I'm in the Air Force, so I've got that down. Totally credible.

Here is my super suit.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...OMcover33F.jpg

It's only an artist's concept because I can engage my cloaking device, and a picture of me has never been taken - I'm too fast. But I'm going to say I do something nasty to the 'murican people - I fly around pretending to be a drone, and I'm actually watching all of you make sexy time in your bedrooms. I log your habits into my little electronic black book, and report directly to Obama. The only thing that can thwart my video taping escapades are tin foil hats - those guys are way too smart for me...so I pop flares and I set their house on fire instead, and blame it on a lightning strike.

True story.
