    Idiots of Cardomain

    sounds like the guy got beat by a mustang and then made a cardomain page to rag on people for no reason. most people who would sink the $$$ for a 9 second car would at the very least have a dyno / timeslip / vidclip or a run, and he has none of that. don't sweat him he probably has a stock Z...

    If I sold it...How much?

    park it by a high school with a 19k asking price, and when some kids dad calls let him talk you down to 18k. that's your best bet. you'll have the power of some kid nagging the crap out of his dad to your advantage!

    TB/Plenum combo require tune?

    throw the cai on at the same time while your at it and you still wont need a tune. i did the 3 parts at once and other than the car running rough for a couple days while it relearned there was no need to mess with anything.

    Cleaning up the headlights?

    i used a mothers powerball with plastic polish. it didn't really 'fix' them, as much as hide its fading under shinyness. there's a 2-3 step kit around to restore fading lights but i'll be damned if i can remember where i saw the link from.

    $75 for 1 barrel of crude oil...

    it means my exxon stock went up this week :) but still the 3.40/gallon at the freakin pump is insane! i was pretty low the other day and it was 40 bux to fill er up.

    Best intake plenum/TB combo?

    mines matched up to the outlet of a 75mm tb. if you looks at just the inside of all the plenums out today they are really all the same thing. depending on how much material you take out you can probably land anywhere between stock and tops with a p&p plenum. for me the 1-2hp/tq gain with some...

    i'm using a 75mm accufab with a p&p plenum. works great and you can buy a stock plenum on ebay for like 20 bucks to work on. looks pretty good too:

    Got boned by the dealer today

    200 for labor? you do realize it's 2 screws and 1 snap on electrical connector right? it's not even under anything! i swapped mine out in under 10 minutes in a parking lot. you should demand your 200$ back and tell them the difference in the outragous part price can be their labor!

    Diablo V. SCT xc 2

    i've got a predator and it works well. from what i've read it seems the xcal 2 has one or two additional auto tranny functions. you can definately change pressure with a predator though, just make sure you put in a tranny cooler first. the one thing diablosport sucks with is updates. i can't...

    LC-1 Wideband Air/Fuel Ratio system for Autometer A/F Ratio Gauge

    i've already made the mistake of buying the light show a/f autometer gauge.. seems to me like this setup will give me a 'pull over now' legit warning with the gauge now instead of the bouncing lights.. and then for exact #'s i can hook up my laptop in the pass seat for tuning / datalogging. if...

    Some Toys (need some input) *PICS*

    some say use a spacer some say its not needed.. but the aftermarket plenums all have the built in rise so i'm going to use one with mine. the low outlet part you asked if you should port it more.. i smoothed it out on mine and widened it just a drop.. i didn't take any of the depth out of it...

    Some Toys (need some input) *PICS*

    grind all that coating off the inside , grind off the ridge from the inside too.. you might need to get the flex wand attachment that really made it easier for me at least. don't use the sanding disks yet, use one of the stone grinders.. it will clear away all the bumpy coating off the inside...
