will this be sufficient to get started on my TT project with all the internals upgraded as well...or is there something im not seeing...i.e. a titanium block somewhere??

Why do you want a titanium block? A regular VQ block built with Darton sleeves can handle 800+whp. What are you trying to accomplish?

Titanium is brittle in comparison to some other alloys but is still strong. Nother issue could be galling since every fastner you put in the block would need special anti-sieze.

Ti is horrible when it comes to siezing/galling onto screws and taps.
Ti is like metallic bubble gum. It strong but sticks to everything and makes difficult problems.
idk wat u guys r trippin over.....the 1 thing vrt did good 4 their customers is give us all platanium blocks....there uber strong!!!!
Even better is how MRC pointed out that all their customers cars were 700+whp on the stock fuel system and they only had 600whp on their yellow 350z with an aftermarket fuel system.
OP:
I have to laugh because threads like this are why you get responses that are flaming you. Especially when you posted your RANT thread ( https://my350z.com/forum/the-lounge-off-topic/294757-rant.html )
