350z Greddy TT Kit installed and tuned
Alright, so i have been getting a couple pms from people who knew what i've been working on this winter. Basically I bought a greddy tt 18g kit this winter, and installed it myself with a couple friends. There is a full build page to come when i have time.
Make a long story short, Matt from formerly MRC motorsports helped me whenever I had a question, and knew exactly what i was always referring to. Could not have done the install without being able to call and ask questions, so many thanks to him for sure, he really was a HUGE help in accomplishing this and doing it right.
Second I spoke to a number of shops about tuning and other work. Bottom line, tuning is not a secret, choose someone you trust, they either know what they're doing or they don't. I also wanted to choose someone close to me, so I got hooked up with Ray Wilson from PF Supercars, he was flatout with me on everything, and right off the bat he wasnt trying to jerk me around. Brutally honest guy which is what I wanted, no beating around the Bush. Any ways, he tuned my car on a stock block and the car feels like it is completely stock. It put down on the dyno 430whp @8psi. I attached a dyno sheet as well, the graph is amazingly smooth with 0 smoothing.
All in all, Ray did a fantastic job at his shop, no wonder he is so highly respected in the rx-7 world. I will be posting up the entire build i did with my buds Collin and Jeremy when i have time at some point, but this is only the beginning.
If you have any questions just let me know, i got alot of help from some of the big names on here, and it helps to be able to call up and get that support when in tight jams.
P.S: Thanks to forged for overnighting my greddy ti-c exhaust, thanks to Hal @ injected performance, for hooking me up with my defi gauges.
More to come!!!

I'm on my stock block for right now, eventually going to build it.
I've got 3" downpipes, with gredd ti-c exhuast, the intercooler of course, and a set of open dumps, and a clutchmaster stage 4 6-puck clutch, utec with map switch and map sensor, turbo xs boost controller, defi oil temp and boost, aem wideband.
I also relocated the oil T underneath by the oil pan because in the past ive seen them snap on some of the high hp cars by me. Better safe then sorry imo.
Alberto: I completely agree, time to enjoy
Other than that the built block will come down the road, looking into what i really want to do though, want to do it right and only once.

I'll be posting up a full build hopefully this weekend if i get some free time along with the pics.
Yea i'm very happy with Ray, and would highly suggest him to anyone anywhere. Took his time and i'm very stisfied. Took a bunch of my friends out last night for the first time that have z's, all of them were breathless, it was such a great feeling. As im on here though people like George aka quicksilver offered tons of support through out my whole decision process. All i can say is if you have questions just start asking some of the guys who have been on here, if they dont want to help thats their problem. I got this far cuz of people like George and Rome, so if there's anything i can do to give back, dont hesitate to ask. The forums deserve alot of the credit, filled with valuable information, BUT you have to read through the opinions and bs.

I think I'm that friend who just got a Z who got a ride in his TT Z. I thought my car was nice, afterall I did just get it. But MAN his car is FAST. It just blows through those gears and through the RPM range. I was at full throttle trying to keep up last night and I'm sure he was barely touching his pedal and he was flying by me. Nice job man.
