Sorry but the install's with the engine in the car are not lie's they are just difficult.
Posted this in the Orlando Z section, thought I should post here since this is where I gathered alot of info that helped me along the way! ")
Well after countless hours and two months of not having my Z the Greddy TT set-up is finally complete! (minus the tuning) My boyfriend and I did the install ourselves and his dad helped along the way. It was def. not easy and all the threads that say you can do the install with the engine in the car are a lie!!! lol. I have no clue how they did it b/c there are just some bolts on the exhaust manifold you cannot get to! So after 2 or 3 weeks of trying to do the install in the car the engine had to come out.

Time for an Update
Over the past couple monts, the Z has been taken off the road again to undergoe more changes =D.
We removed the motor and tore it down to the bare block and shipped it off to Forged Performance for Sharif to work his magic. We are getting the block S1 Package (Balancing and polishing the crankshaft, check the main bore, decking the Block, pressure cleaning, bore and hone with trq plate, and block re-assembly). Parts include: Arias Zero Silicon AL EXTREME Duty Piston set 9.0:1
.020 overbore, Eagle Rods, ACL Thrust Washers, ACL Main and Rod Bearings, and ARP bolts.
We received the block back and are in the process of re-assembling the remaining parts (valvetrain, upper/lower oil pan, etc.). We decided to strip the paint on the valve cover and powder coat it mag blue along with the front timing cover. It turned out beautiful... see pics below.
There is a back order on some gaskets & O-rings we ordered but we are well underway on getting the motor back in the car. The goal is to drive it up to Forged to be re-tuned for 550 whp.
Updated Mod List (everything in bold is new)

Looking nice! i know how hard all of that is lol. While you're at it, you should add an ATI damper to your build. Cheap and will help increase the longevity!
