Default 1000whp 350z built by MRC

Yesterday while at Tuner Wars auto show in Harrisburg, Pa I saw a white and blue 350z. It was done up really nice with the outside and inside and the engine bay was all chrome. I noticed it had Injen exhaust, and an APS tt kit. All over the car were MRC stickers so out of curiousity I asked the gentlemen who ownd the car what kind of power it was making. He told me 985whp before n2o and 1000+ with n2o! I was like WHAT?!? So I asked him what all he had done and he told me it was a custom handbuilt stroker done by MRC, custom injectors, custom 30trim turbos (whatever they are) custom fuel system, and well basically everything was custom. Even the Injen exhaust which is the same on my car, well yea that was custom 4" for his car as well. So basically I walked away. Now Im just wondering if this guy was infact telling the truth, or if I just was first hand with a total moron. So MRC please shine some light on this car!

Custom Injen exhaust, fuel injectors, 4" exhaust pipes??? He probably doesn't have sway bars cuz my 3" APS has about 1mm till it hits it.

I am 100% sure if MRC did a 1000hp monster it would have been posted here for sure........ So I am going to think that that guy was stroking you.

I will make one post and only one post in regards to that car. The owner is a good customer of ours, and I dont want to get into too much of the drama and loose customers over situations like this.Sharif had a similar customer a while back that posted on here in a similar situation.. Therefore, I will say these two things and you decide what you will...

1) That car was not, nor did not make anywhere near 1000hp wheel or crank, when it left our shop.PERIOD.

2) Did you see a Dyno Graph with MY shops name on it..NO.

Now as Forest Gump Says: "thats all I got to say about that"

Congrats either way, you're responsible for a cover car. It's up to the owner to disclose the actual facts not you. Which regardless is something to be proud of, keep up the good work

Every shop has those type of customers. Doesnt mean the shops/owners back it up. Im sure if that guy sees this thread he wont go around telling stupid lies about his car. Its not the first time this has happened, and it wont be the last.

I can't stand people that lie like this.

Example: In a house closing for a car salesman last week I noticed him waring a replica white gold leather band Daytona. I asked about it and he said he buys and sells watches on the side. The kid is 25 making 40K buying a 190K house but wants me to believe he's buying and selling 25K watches "on the side." bs

end rant/
