500whp on a stock block is do-able...but only by about 4 shops in the whole country. lol. 700whp with just rods n pistons....He has alot of faith in his tuning ability or he takes it to a queer dyno. lol

I've been following his posts on H-T & give him props for the innovations he has made. Many of us would probably do a few things differently, like the Intake Mani, which I will do as throw in VQ in my 510. If I do decide to boost it down the road I'll probably do a single rear mounted since I have no room in the engine bay.

what do u mean trying? he's actually doing it isn't he, not just trying, and his fab skills are awsome, the only thing he's off on is the power he'll thinks he'll be able to put down on stock block, other than that, everything is badass, not to mention he built the damn thing in his garage

FYI 95% OF THE 350z'S SUBFRAME AND SUSPENSION STRUCTURE IS ALUMINUM. VERY STRONG, VERY LIGHT. OF COURSE YOU KNEW THIS ALREADY.

I think it looks pretty sweet. I wish he was turning that 240 into a road course car though and not a drag car, but that's just because that's what I like, haha.
