sk tunes his 370z

[mr_sk]

TITLE: should be, "sk mods and tunes his 370z" heh.
RENAMED: Project: sk

Note: This is my first attempt a journal ever, so please lower your expectations now. heh.

Yassss ... welcome to my moding (& tuning) journal. I have plans for this car, over time and I'm going to document the companies I work with, the products I purchase and the overall experience and joy I get from moding my car.

I'm also going to provide details as to why I decided one mod or company over another and the experience I have w/the local tuning shops and my dealer.

If you are interested in the background of how I got to be the owner of a 2011 Black MT Z Sport, you should probably start by reading this thread.

New guy, moving from an S4 to 370z?

That thread is cool, because on page 1 I'm the owner of a B6 S4 and by page 4 I'm the owner of a new 370z! heh.

Stay tuned, more to come ...

Goals: My goal for the car is
1) Retain warranty (as best I can, heh)
2) Get more power
-- Let me elaborate a bit. I'd prefer more low end power, I don't need peak gains, I don't 0-60 redline every stop light. So power in the lower rpms would be nice. And gaining tq is more important than gaining hp, though I don't want to loose any hp, heh.
-- I'd also like to improve the exhaust note. I like a nice rumble, more on the exotic side.
3) Look 100% stock on the outside (same rims, possibly lower but I live in NYC so...)

Update:
Oh, heh, ok, since Triple's:

Here's the Z, from above (right corner image), I've got two motion lights and the camera is in the back, heh.


Now, for some pics of the Z (which I literally just walked outside and took since Triples called me out, heh):
