I already got an alignment after they installed it. So with yours did you just adjust the height?

yes all I did was change the ride height. Be advised they settle around 1/4 inch and that is a lot. Lowered like I am I already scrape the crossmember on big speedbumps, don't lower your car too much because you'll kill the fi.

B jellus hehe. it's not that great. I just got a gf too so that might be the end of my modding spree. Im actually sitting at a trade show in Lima, Peru right now. Free wifi and 2 hours to kill though so I'm on here. As far as taking out stock, yeah soon as I have my ipo I'll let you know. I actually just posted a 370z intake roundup on 370zreport. You guys should check it out and give me some feedback. I am also looking for collaborators who want to send me some content. I'm about to add a "commentary" section to post 370z related opinions and such, less factual, just thoughts.

You guys can always comment on there too, I'd appreciate some love on there to help it grow.

If you need some help on the website, report back on products, etc. let me know.
Waiting on everyone to get the superchargers on, I like testing products but forced induction I am not 100% ready to be a tester on that.

RCZ · 04-27-2010, 04:02 PM

Oh yeah, I mean I would like to get some exclusive feedback from you guys about products and stuff. I would like the report to be by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. Meaning that we can all the the a b and c from company marketing piece, but I think there is more value from the personal experiences that folks have. So yeah I want to post news and objective stuff about new products, but I think it's much more interesting to read some commentary. So yes, I would like some support from you all. Product reviews, thoughts on certain issues, problem fixes, product reviews, company reviews, etc etc

Hey Raul you saw I posted the dyno sheets for my LTHs, right? Feel free to use 'em for your blog. Hit me up if you want me to help with an article or whatever. Also, I now have the F.I. CBE on order, so I'll be doing an F.I. CBE vs. Stillen CBE comparo (and from the perspective of someone who already has the LTHs to boot!).

RCZ · 04-27-2010, 06:12 PM

Very cool, yes I will want that for sure! We'll talk when I get back from my business trip. I did not see them yet, but I will check them out asap.

theDreamer · 04-27-2010, 09:12 PM

Long tubes plus your supercharger might the winning combination right now (pick your exhaust).

Must be nice to be jet setting around the world. Gotta share the wealth with the g/f (they like shiny things) and you be spreeing again in a short time.

I am heading over to 370zreport now to check it out.

For the 370zreport, maybe some reviews on CBE, HFC & CAI combos.

Hmm possibly, but that would require a custom tune. I like the idea of more torque, but I have conflicting ideas about headers.

I have thought about it, but there is such a huge number of possible combinations that its a little overwhelming. I am working on an exhaust roundup and that alone is a ridiculous amount of work. There is so much information and its hard to make sense of all the different data points available without doing some really involved research.

Have the enthusiasts do the dirty work for you. It will be tough with the different numbers produced by different dynos and other variables, but it could be done and then average the numbers from all the data.

maybe highlight 370z racecars! some exclusive photos perhaps!

Absolutely Travis, I would really like to do a feature on your car. Let's work on it next week?

NewYorkJon34 · 04-28-2010, 08:18 PM

Hey RCZ, how's the KWs with aftermarket sway bars?, I know the KWs feel close to stock, but sometimes I feel like I didn't change anything & it needs to be alil stiffer, where the sways would help. As you said not to touch the stiffness settings on the kws as they are good the way they came.

RCZ · 04-28-2010, 08:56 PM

Jon, you should talk to Carey before asking me for any more help.

NewYorkJon34 · 04-28-2010, 09:54 PM

I don't want to name them, but If you were contacted Im sorry. We never ment to put you in a situation. I'd like to put this behind us & go back to contributing to this forum.
