I appreciate the fact that I worked so hard to bring these to you guys and now you are sending people to a company that has lied about them from the start.

I talked to ARP last week and they assured me that my 25 sets of main studs will be the very first sets sent out once ready at the end of the month.

I also have ~18 sets of head studs in stock
Defintly buy from a site sponsor only.

PS: If a business doesnt sponsor one of the 3 main sites I visit, my350z, 350zmpotoring and nissaninfiniticlub ( aka http://nicoclub.com/ )I wont buy from it, regardless of any other considerations.

I usually don't care if they don't sponsor a site, as long as they have the part I need for a good price and can ship it to me in when I need the part.

Id be willing to bet that although your meter and boost gauge said 6psi, you probably did the same thing mine did and that was a spike. mine was set to 5.6psi and spiked at 10psi shooting 400+ hp through the engine and blowing all 6 piston rings and bending the number 6 rod. The engine is sleeved now and is sitting at xs engineering awaiting a 500-600hp achievement. when you rebuild that engine .... make sure you sleeve it and get low compression pistons and also stronger rods....good luck.

I was wondering anyone doing their rebuilds have their engine out? If so did you take off the radiator, a/c stuff (condenser and lines )and power steering? I'm trying not to have to go back to the dealer to refill my a/c is the reason why I ask.

Finally got a long block from Import Auto, previously was going to get it off someone from this forum but they ended up flaking and not coming through. I dropped it off at AEBS previously was going to go with SGP but didn't feel 900 freight back and forth was economical. Ended up being cheaper for all the labor and they're local so I feel alot better.

Who quoted you $900 for freight?
