    My zx14 vs c6 z06

    After a Friday night at Pacific Raceways, I was heading home and ended up next to a c6 z06 that had also been running. I have always had a school girl crush on these cars and thought I would toy with it a bit. I blipped the throttle once or twice while next to him, as well as shifted into 3rd...

    Location for nitrous

    Did you nitrous guys (and gals) inject the nitrous into the intercooler piping, or the manifold. I know piping would be a lot easier. But I was wondering if you could put it in place of the cold start injector (since mine doesn't work anyways). Plus, you wouldn't have to pull the nitrous off...

    new ceramic coated parts, take a look (pics inside!!)

    Just got my stuff back from getting ceramic coated. Paid $140 for it all, and I think i got a real good deal. I'm a moron and accidentally already scratched the dp, and manifold a little bit, oh well. The reason it can't be scratched is because the place that did it only has a 550 degree...
