Man i love to hear this guys keep it up. It makes no since though sometime its just a flip of the coin like Alberto case he did everthing right but sometime things happen thats just something we got to face is that its a chance and i am willing to take it. The worst that can happen is that your motor go's bye bye but none the less we will decide one of two things built it and make it better or sell. So rain if you are looking to boost your Z Start right now and read and soak up all the info you can up about Boost and then decide if its for you.

If that is who I think it is, then no. The trannys just took a **** and broke. His last one stuck in 5th gear during a WOT run.

I was running Greddy TT for about 8000 miles in 1 year at roughly 7.5 PSI (420 whp) but just recently popped my motor in the Midwest... damn ****ty gas, high altitude and WAYY to much time racing other cars when it blew.

If you go FI; make sure to save for another motor just in case, and try to keep the boost around what the kit comes shipped with. If you up the boost, be prepared to take more risk the engine will go sooner.

I wonder if thats the most stock block TT miles on this forum???
