Great numbers Mike. I cannot wait to get back to San Diego later this year and check that bad boy out. I get to drive it right?

Nothing beats FRWY Runs @ 75-100mph and lighten them up!!! I did this next to a Bussa once in my 475hp Sentra and just lit them up without a downshift in 5th @ 30psi

I agree 100%. I have tried nearly every brake combination around, and the AP Racing brakes and a big step above everything else. Absolutely no fade or vibration....even from 130mph hard stops. Absolutely the most confidence inspiring brake system I have used.

Congrat's Mike on finishing your monster project. Can't wait to see it when you get all the kink's out.

By the way when are you going to give up on that stock exhuast and let that thing open up without restriction?? You got to be able to account for more HP with a little better flow at those higher elevations.

350Z4JAG - Not finished yet, but thanks. Will get better love at the end of the week. I like my quiet exhaust! Yes, we have 3+ inch pipes all over the shop, but they make alot of noise.

Sharif - Yes, we have burned other brakes up on the tracks. APs are great and happy you realize this.

350zDCalb - ? Nice talking the other day and goodluck with the new venture.

Perhaps you would like to meet us at the track and show us how to do it?
Laguna Seca this Tuesday 3/21/06. Check our schedule...We need to see more Z and Gs on the track. FYI, this past short video was of our customers driving their newly built 500 WHP cars. Watch our extended video and you might see what you are asking for. In the meantime, would love to see you (and others) out there to show me how to drive a roadrace track with 600 WHP. Could be alot of fun!

Going back to the dyno right now, we have a new red 500 WHP car getting tuned today and will post results later. Have a nice day.

I can speak from experience his G is awesome. My car is the 500 WHP he is talking about. I dropped it off this weekend for the finishing touches and Mike had me drive his G. I think he said it was at 14 PSI when I was there and it is a MONSTER!! I tell you the stuff he and his crew are doing is INSANE!!! For everyone with doubts, there should be none, I have seen the cars and ridden in them. This company is for real. Can't wait to get my results Mike!

hahha I'm not saying I would drive better, I was just giving you a hard time about the erradic footage...I love watching road racing vids!...gimme a link to some complete laps, would love to see those card in action...for an ENTIRE lap..just easier to see the handling and performance capabilities of a car ..IMHO

I live in Albuquerque...where is that track at? I used to live in Cali..I go out to visit family and friends, I will take you up on that offer if you let me sit shotgun

Oh..and I don't ever run full boost on the road course out here..wayyyy too much power for this track...I either turn my bboost controller off and run 10psi or low boost of 13psi

Very nice work guys. I can't imagine what the torque curve will look like on an 800whp run.

Thanks for the props RS = NavyGolf. Your car looks so sick on the dyno.

350zDCalb - Mazda Laguna Seca? Google it! It is internationally raced and well known. You can even drive it in the GT4 videogame. Pretty cool. Probably the best track in Cali if not one of the best in the USA.

As I said, would love to meet you and more Z and Gs at the track. There are way too many fast Evos, STIs, Porsches, Vettes, and S200s.

NISSANSOURCE, I want to see your skills for sure.

Actually, after looking at my boost gauge after that track event at a straight angle, I was only running about 7psi. From the drivers seat it looked like 10psi because of the angle I was looking at it. So it turns out I was only pushing about 360whp that weekend .

Does this bbk kit need any kind of modification on the car or on itself?

I talked with AP U.K and they told that they didnt produce 6pot bbk for 350z yet and wont be producing for 3 more months.


Congratz for the numbers.
