Defintily thinking about it, I talked to Kyle already and the head package with the Jim wolf cams is $2100. I need to find a place to swap the heads, I might do this in the late spring, depending on funds .

I absoultly love the throttle, reminds me of my old Monte Carlo( 87 SS).

BTW does you car felt like a completely different animal with the headers, I FINALLY got some clear space on the HWY last night going home and did a 3rd WOT pull off the on ramp and WHOLY CRAP

So IPP has JWT Cam's and they can fit them into their ported heads so it's bolt-on ready for $2100.00? Holy crap. That's the ticket!!

Ok so got to test the throttle hi jack yesterday in the way the dealership, needs an oil change and there is a horrid knocking front the fron end when turning the wheel back and forth :/.
As we all know I have a AWD and of course the 7 Spd auto and us auto guys cannot do I burn out because the stupid ECU pulls power at or before 3k . WELL with Seb's throttle hi jack you can no do a burn out!!! My rears broke loose about 3200 and I started smoking the tires, I was shocked as hell!! LOL but my issue or the AWD issue will be the t-case engages when it detects slip, so of course mine did then made a loud clank/bang when I started rolling forward after I turned the car off and back on again and everything was fine. I emailed Seb to see if there is a way to disengage the t-case with the TCS off ,just waiting to here back. But any RWD auto guys who don't have ECUTEK and want to be able to heat their fears GET IT from Seb!! And for us who have it contact Seb and get the hi jack!
Again Seb= great
Oh BTW the throttle is even more touchy it's great !

Sounds like a pretty dramatic change for the better
Hopefully those clunks/noise issues will be easy to sort out, and thanks for the review, another WIN!

So car is still pig rich at idle, brand new 02 senor is still show "LEAN" and CEL light is back on after 40 miles same 4 codes!! P0420 and P0430. To be honest with everyone here if I can not get this ironed out this weekend when the car goes in to have the drivers side header replaced I'm putting all the stock stuff back on and moving on. I will have Z1's HFC's. Stillen Headers 1 brand new other 2 weeks old and Takeda cold air intakes for sale, only thing I don't have is the stock cat back so I cant sell the ARK . I am very frustrated right now I don't have time for this. Yea maybe I shouldn't mod :/.


I have a map update I need to log and log again, even that's a PIA

Sure hope you can get it running proper. Sucks to be at that point where you just want to say f-it. Maybe run some of this stuff by the guys in the Engine/Drivetrain folder, maybe someone over there has been through the exact issues you're having.

If this is your only car, I could understand the frustration and impatience. Otherwise, I think you should step back for a bit and see how you feel in the Springtime.

It's been almost exactly two years since you bought it, right? What's the running tally on money spent since then? Looking back through your thread, I bet its pretty significant.

On a serious note, you've been through a lot of crap with your car. I'd feel the same way,
good luck to you.

That really sucks man. 1.5yrs for cats is horrible. Are you considering another set of Z1 HFC? Or going with another company?
