16 was too tall. Top speed was actually less than with the 15T. Went back to 15T after a couple of days. Will probably stay that way for now. Well, until a turbo or supercharger kit is available..

yep I lost top speed too
even bombed the steepest hill here and never hit limiter and I think lost 3-4 mph top speed
some will say it somehow corrects the speedo thats why you think you loose top speed
okay maybe
but the rpm's don't lie, and yes I know it lowers the rpm's too
but I can feel its slower and thats all that matters
you would think a steep down hill full throttle run at some point would rev out high enough to hit the limiter
I just think for my weight, engine size I can't use the 16 yet
im only saving it for when I big bore, hopefully get some use out of the extra power to make it worth using
sadly it was such a huge hassle trying to find the 16t
one of the main suppliers everyone was using just decided to take it off the market right when I was looking for one
so I had to search and search and found one for like $10 more
I did contact that company that stopped making them and told them it will fit the z and they did look into that, went back a forth with some emails
and I think they will put back out for sale as they had to confirm it really fit the z which they told me they confirmed it
but for me was too late by then
