fork for my new sinister dna

hey guys havent posted in a long time and now i need help deciding what fork to slap on to my new ride.

if it helps my setup thus far is as follows:

sinister dna frame
king headset
thompson post
saint cranks
e13 guide
sdg seat
r wheel: mtx rim to sun dh hub
f wheel: ditch witch rim to some 20mm hub
sram drivetrain
thompson stem
diabolus bars
hayes rear brake

so now onto fork options. im trying to decide between a used fox 36 talas, or a nemesis tuned Z-1 or nemesis tuned 66.

i pretty much almost eliminated the 36 due to the fact that i want a shorter fork around 80mm of travel. but if anyone cares to pursuade me to get the 36 im all ears. im in between the z1 and 66. only downfall i see to the 66 is the weight, but im all for a solid fork i can beat the crap out of because i did not feel my pike was strong enough. im still considering the Z1 beacuse it is still decntly strong but lighter than the 66. also if it helps give opinions im 6 feet and 200lbs and break stuff that sucks. im not a hack all the time but im not the smoothest rider either. also i will be riding mostly street then trails then park and dj.

Hey Pancho...it's been a while. Take a look at this site www.nemesisproject.com You can get a Marzocchi Z1 tuned at 80mm. I think that would be a good fit with your riding style.
