I guess I will just spill the beans now, was gonna wait till it was done but oh well!
-Greddy TT with 20g upgrades
-L19 head studs with HKS gasket
-AAM 3in exhaust with 3in Test pipes and open dumps
-Cjm Stage One fuel system
-Snow Performance Methanol kit
-Tune my Utec for Race gas high boost I think with meth and tune pump gas with methanol high boost.

When the car is fully done there will be a post, I will say one thing for sure right now Forged Performance has the best customer service which I have ever dealt with!!! Ron just proved that I know my car is in great hands, unlike here in Michigan

Car looks great and runs strong. Congrats on the tranny upgrade.

OT - the green 'vert is a nice display of attention to detail. Any chance that new motor is going to get some boost? Or is it just a show car?

Perhaps it could hold that power but 504whp on Sharif's dyno is probably pushing it. I wanted to be sure the trans would hold and I'm probably not done yet with the motor.

Ron, I'm glad you and Chuck are happy drivers now. It sounds like I missed a lot of fun on your trip to Forged.

Had a great time up with the Forged crew. Ron has definitely built himself quite a beast there, and it's nice to have my car running strong again.

Ron and Chuck is was good to spend time with you guys as you got your cars worked on. Appreciate the push power since mine is currently minus the engine.

Great numbers Ron!! I want a ride at nationals later this year.

Our Z will definitely be going FI - twins most likely. Waiting on 07 HR options and saving up the money for the install. Maybe by spring of next year.

Here is a couple of pics from this weekend of my new Z after we put the wheels on:
