Man- Sorry to hear you blow your motor. I haven't incresed my boost yet, and this will probably cause me to wait for others to do it first. Although, you did get me to add Methanol injection.
Good for you on building your beast! Can't imagine driving a 700 rwhp. You will have to redo the rear end of it to fit 20" wide tires so you can actually stop spinning them in 6th gear!!
Good luck and let us know how it goes (and drives).

Are you sure you misshifted "by accident"? I think it was a subconscious reflex, since you've been pondering taking the next level for some time.

Can't wait to see your Z, bro.

He has the APS TT with meth/H20 injection. I am also considering a similar build. I am running 13 psi on 100 octane and dont want the fun to end. Especially in a boom

The Z06 is sexy on the outside and fast as hell, but F*CK it. Ill leave that car for the middle aged impaired, give me the rice burner making 800hp and redlining at 8 grand...I have almost gotten into a 04 S4, and Evo IX, but can't because the Z is just too sexy, and is going to sound great with a TNetics single. Might not be as nice in certain areas, but there is a price difference between those cars and I would rather F/I a Z with it. Maybe in a year or so Ill have a 500+rwhp single T'ed Z, and a black S4 V8 beater
