Yeah thanks... The motor is done and sounds great!... No leaking anywhere but the auto tranny cant hold the power it is making so I got some thinking to do..

I'm too old and lazy to have a manual put in I think (lol)... Plus the cost involved is pretty high... so I got some thinking to do...

I am assuming that you have been driving this beast a bit with 600 hp, are you having belt troubles? Seems all these big hp 350z guys are roasting belts

Thanks! And I sure have within the last week as a half I have prob done 60 1-3rd hard pulls haha and I am not sure what is the issue with the other but I am on a 2 year old cog belt and serp belt still no issues. She squeals first thing in the am from the cold weather for a min then she's good to go. I am not on the carbon poly cog belt either so no idea what's up w theirs.

You cound take the Serp belt up a 1/2 turn, it should get rid of that morning squeal.

Tim I tightened her up quite a bit not long ago. She is on there pretty tight. Didn't want to over due it. In the long stretch of belt she has some deflection but around the blower she is pretty tight I didn't want to over due it. But I may give her another half a turn.

If it squeals @ startup, then it's just to loose. I just take mine up to the point of No Squeal. Your just about there, a 1/2 turn will probably get rid of it.
