Just experimenting with different setups. I'm going to have the car dyno'd again soon to compare the typhoons vs. the stock air boxes.

Installed the Z1 Post MAF tubes today. At first I tried to install them without removing the strut bar but that was turning out to be a pain. Removing the strut bar made it way easier. Next up is the Z Speed Undershroud which I'm hoping to get to this weekend.

Nice...btw your z looks badass. Do you ever make it out to the Cerritos meet? Next one is on 8/1. Hope to see you there.

Thanks! I have been out to the Cerritos meet before. I've been meaning to get out there again but they always seem to fall on a weekend when I already have other commitments. Hopefully this next one I will be able to make it.

So would it be safe to assume that you are Cuban, Mr. Cuban Z? lol. I am half Cuban myself.

Installed the ZSpeed Under Shroud today while doing an oil change. This thing is nice. Obviously a little heavier than the stock plastic one but not by much. It will be nice to not have to remove the cover when doing an oil change now.

Been a long time since I've posted in this thread. I installed the Takeda Cold Air Intake today and took the Z out for a drive. I'm really happy with this intake. I like the fact that you don't have to cut up the stock intake holes like you do with the Stillen intake. The car definitely feels a little more responsive now as well.
