[BP-Revo]

Very nice!

I think the plenum spacer is next on my list. But right now I have to worry about my clutch and brakes. I'm nearly at 60K miles so I think its time for a brake flush and new fluid. When I have this done I'm having stainless steel lines installed.

Also, as I said, my clutch is going so I need to be ready to take care of that.

Anyway, I did the ECU reset by removing the battery connections for a bit over a half hour and the car started running a bit better. Not sure if its faster, it might very well be. I have yet to really do anything more than a few second and third gear pulls. However, it does this weird thing at start-up. When cold, it starts fine. It does its standard computer-initiated rev to 1500RPM and then drops to 1300 or so and slowly falls as the motor warms.

However, when I start it when the car is already warm, it revs up, but then the RPMs drop all the way down to the lowest line of my tach (which signifies 500RPM) and then you can hear and feel the engine struggle to stay running. Then the engine will recover and proceed to idle as normal (at 600 to 700RPM usually) or it will die. After many tests it seems to stall out once every 15 or 20 times. Any insight?

Another update regarding vehicle's on our end (again). We ended up buying a new truck to replace our 2002 Ram 1500 Quad Cab SLT (which has a 4.7L V8).

We got a 2009 Ram 1500 Quad Cab SLT with the 5.7L Hemi with the MDS and VVT. Its nuts. It gets better mileage than our old 4.7 but puts out 390hp and over 400 ft-lbs of torque (compared to 250hp/300ft-lbs). The truck is very very nice. Ride is incredibly smooth (rides like a luxury car) and it is very quiet. We opted for the 509 watt Alpine sound system as well (one of my favorite parts of the truck). I think my dad was more satisfied with this buy than the M5, interestingly enough.

I'll get some pictures up this weekend.

Any more future mods for your Z?
