Good people down at Forged, they treat you well...and thanks again Sharif for the dinner while Im remembering all these things.

I was wondering when we'd hear back from you on your car. Sounds like it's exactly what you were hoping for.
I can't wait to hear some track results. It's going to be refreshing hearing about a very high hp 350z at the track without getting posts filled with excuses about why the car didn't run the number. I know you'll be using your power to it's potential and I expect some VERY respectable ET's.
Good Luck!

Enough about my car, this is your thread and I'm glad to hear you're back on the road. Like BriGuyMax mentioned earlier, I bet your car is a blast to drive now. Have fun with it for a while and get to the track when you're ready.
Very nice Alberto! At your convenience can you log boost build up on a 4th gear run starting at 1500rpm until 5000rpm in 500rpm increments please? I'd like to see how the twins build boost. Ive got a T66 on my Max and I'd like to compare.
Also please mark your calender for November 5th Import VS Domestic at MIR. I'd let you use my MT ET Radials
And you might wana consider a roll bar too!

Too bad I can't run tonight, it's freezing cold out here and the DA will probably be close to sea level (it was 600' last night
).

so imagine what a Th400 at 22 PSI with a 200 shot will do... it will only be about two weeks now 
hey bert, see why i am getting rid of the nissan tranny, i mean, it sucks but it has to go, maybe you should look into a Z32 5 speed, they are indestructable.... OR you can spend 4 Gs on a gear set from GTM...

I highly doubt a gearset for our trans will cost 4 grand. Most upgraded gearsets are between 1K and 2K....
