Yah, I don't know why I couldn't know his name. The people I know told me to call him "stupid fuck". Now I know his name.
I never got to race him...![Sad](images/smilies/frown.gif)

He had it tuned by DTP at first but they totally fucked it up and the car ran like shit. I raced him once on the highway coming back from Newport News and just walked away. Now that its running right I'd like to see the outcome.

Does the red z-28 have FMIC and meth? Just curious what kit he got was it the 60 or 67. If your bud is interested. Ive moved up to a 76 and my GT67 turbo is for sale cheap. Tell your bud to send me a PM if he wants the bigger turbo for his Z.

That sounds like a pretty sick motor you've got there and I can't even imagine what its going to do with some boost. The red z does have FMIC and meth and just recently got a retune. I'll try and get ahold of him and let him know about that turbo you're selling. BTW, do you know of any good tranny shops in the area? My t56 needs a rebuild and I figure with a turbo 408 you probably know a good tranny guy.

Your bud sounds like he might already have a 67 if he has the intercooler and Methanol. Is he using the boost controller that came with the kit? I am using the E-boost controller. Like the ability to change boost in different shift points. Its nice to come out of the hole in low boost and setting the rest of the shift points for high. Also is he running a 12 bolt? Curious has he had problems with his turbo leaking oil? I am currently tracking this problem. Thought it was the check valve, but alas it was not. Has he found any problems as I am just curious. Initially on bone stock car it ran perfect. Just with a whole new build. Ive been sorting out the little problems here and there.

He ran a 14.0@110 with the bad tune so that kind of tells you something. I never heard him mention anything about the turbo leaking oil. I'm pretty sure he's still got the 10 bolt under there but he's also auto so he should be good unless he gets a stall and some sticky tires. Do you have any times for your car? Let me know when you're in town, maybe my friends and I could come check out a real car.

They are over nighting me a new high volume one for free. Should be here today. I am going to try and get some more miles on it before dynoing with the boost. She idles great and sounds good. I am using a acceleronics injector driver with 75lbs. It also has a LSX intake with a 90mm TB. Ill be in hampton from the 19th thru the 21st. More than welcome to check it out. Send a PM if you want number
