Groovytang...shouldn't you be rotating the tires on your 350Z? Oh wait. That's right. The ones up front are smaller than the ones in back. You'll need to buy new ones. Maybe you can get in on a group buy over on the 350Z forums. Oh wait. You got banned their too. Welp...good luck little buddy.

There are many factors that go into the crappy time listed in the mag that I won't go into but I will say that with a grand total of 1k invested in mods to include:
MBC @ 20psi
3" turboback
intake
ECU flash (propper A/Fs, bump rev limiter -> 8.5k, timing modified, speed governor removed)

I have an insane powerband with 20psi coming in at 3k and runs to redline. The problem with a stock evo is the boost taper (19psi @ 3.5k -> 15psi @ 6k to redline).

The quick spool-up makes for interesting throttle modulation at the track.

Quick little story:

My instrutor at the track: Whoa, there is no need for WOT in that corner
Me: That wasn't WOT
My instrutor: Are you serious!?
Me: Yep! Pretty fun car, huh?
My instrutor: Sure!

When I had the KA in my 240sx the 7k redline was useless because there was no power above 6k after I put the SR in I could rev to 8k allday and power came in at 2500rpm.

Powerband is very important, especially for how I use my cars....to chase down Supercharged ITRs on the track
Stock and staged (1, 2 and 3) srt's have wonderful powerbands!

Attached is a dyno of a bone stock 04:

You are truly the definition of a troll groovyang...

You follow me everywhere i go posting stupid bullshiat comments about the srt. You just did it in the viper thread. I didn't respond in that thread out of respect not to hijack. So I address you here cuz this thread is already phucked up.

And you even change your sig to tell us all how much you love us. How cute...

Its no wonder you get banned on every car forum....

The other college kids are working right now so they can have some beer money, but groovytang's folks pay for everythng, including the 350Z. God forbid he should operate an expresso machine, a fryer or deliver some pizzas in order to help out with the bills a little and maybe even learn the value of a dollar. I may drive a Neon but he's the one living in la-la land.

Groovytang...turn off the computer...walk down to the bookstore...talk to some girls...you might get your finger sticky for X-mas.

Nothing is wrong with the srt-4. The only thing I don't like about that car is the look. It is a pretty good deal for the money. Stop all the hate guys. This threat is turning out to "my car better than your car." Drive what you like and stick with it, no need to bash on other people's whip.
