Please.... I am sure that your 350z runs slower than stock with all the work you've done to it...

Haha your car came out great man. Ive decided it was time to unleash the beast...no more half assing. Im cutting no corners on this current "upgrade" And 20-25psi through my 16g turbo should make a solid 350hp.

Nice. But on a serious note, if you really do push 20-25psi you are crazy. That would be well into the 1200whp range I'm guessing. I'd say it's not worth and you should just buy a GTR... Wait...

Haha..I just ended up getting a FAST 102 intake manifold and im having a spare set of heads CNC'd. That should help make power with less boost. The lower the boost the better.

Your just too funny. You come from a crowd that runs twice the boost you do to make comparable power. Might as well make it 2.5 times more boost.

I see your building the motor. Nice!

My first 4 cars were V8 Fbodies. I came from that crowd..wondered over here for a minute then took what I needed and went back with a nice combination haha. And yeah I figure if I want this to push my little 6 im going to need to step it up a bit. Not to mention I see some serious competition coming up. Where are you from anyways?

are you keeping track of weight loss?

perfect time for that 10point cage now. cant pass tech if you got over 135mph without a 10pt.

I have not been spending time keeping track of the weight. Just been to busy to really care. I have removed two 42 gallon leaf bags of extra crap though not including interior trim and large pieces like the spare.

I really want to put a cage in but I think I am going to wait until after I go to the track a couple times. I want to see what starts to break so I know how much money I need to keep investing to go faster. At that point I will truely determine what specs I want to build my cage to.

I am quite sure there may be a four link and a Ford 9" going in after next season. Either way, I should be able to run low 10's before I hit 135mph.
