Thanks for all the replies guys I guess I'll go with Hitman's idea.

What about the battery, do I relly have to disconnect it?


Thanks.

No need to disconnecty the battery. The PSM will relearn the fuel trims.

I'm the master of cheap quality speed I guess! hahaha. All the parts on my vehicles were either purchased good quality used or dirt cheap new. I look for the most performance for the least amount of funds.

Heck my WRX has <$1000 in mods and will pull a bolt on modified 99+ GT from a roll easily...

The Z has <$1000 also and while it isn't super fast it'll probably run a very high 15/low 16 with the larger 33" tires...

My F150 also runs low 16s/high 15s also after spending closer to $3500-3700 (MAF kit was $700!) and my AOD took a dump about 6 months after I got the truck (about $1700) then getting the Eaton+gears wasn't cheap but well worth it (about $750 all said and done). Stock these run very high 17 sec times or low 18 sec! So I've come quite a ways knocking almost 2 sec off that truck with a motor that was rated at 185hp stock.
