At any rate, heartiest congrats on the build. I can only imagine how happy you are to have it all buttoned up. As usual, great job to the entire Forged Performance crew for continuing to deliver the goods.


BTW, what PSI was the 593whp at?

Thanks James. L19 headstuds..Just a hair under 17psi.

Thanks guys...yes those C8 cams really transform the power band. You loose a little of the nastiness in the low midrange, but the thing pulls like a freight train at the higher revs. And has the added benifit of keeping traction.

Our Stage II heads consist of the following:
Competition porting work
Combustion chamber reshaping
Valves unshrouded
5 Angle Valve Job

Not terribly expensive either, so it's a nice compromise instead of doing a full blown set of Cosworth Cylinder heads.

Mike you know I keed. Oh btw your Cosworth looks great on my car now. I saw it laying in a parts bin yesterday at Forged so I figured why not?

Question, does anyone know of any dynojets near or semi near Knoxville? Thawk, I know your in Nashville, are there any around there? I can't find anything.

Tim, my plans are nothing too special. I'd like to get started on the suspension, and then maybe look into the twin pump or SP's triple pump I need a stereo too!

Hey, there's gonna be no knocking off by next May. Especially with a nice tight oil filter on there baby! Long live the 5AT.

There is a Dyno Jet in Smryna, TN (next to murfreesboro). Thats the only dynojet that I know of. Bring the car here one weekend and we can take it there, and let me drive it! I havent driven a boosted Z in months now .
