Whats up fellas!
This is technically my first thread in the FI section. I never had a chance to post up my numbers ever since I got the vortech. Finally have some time to do it now!
Well long story short, I did all the install myself in my driveway with a help of a friend which took us a good weekend but it was well worth the $ savings
again.. first , I would like to thank Chris who helped me with the install and also chef-j,sentry, str8dum1,tyler and Quamen. For helping and answering some of the questions

I got the car tuned locally. The car drives fine, my idle is perfect and my AFR is 11.2 at WOT. I was going to go at AAM and have Jeremy tune it but he left before I could
oh well im happy with my numbers 
oh and my seals and my bearings went bad so I upgraded to much better seals and new 65K bearings. I did the install my self so stay tuned for another thread of DIY:vortech & bearings
My mod list.
Vortech V2 ( non revup )
- new seals
- new 65K bearings installed ( recently )

I have the 2.87 and my # are 420whp/348tq tuned by Forged. Looking at your mod list we seem to be similiar, just curious as to how your tq is that much higher?

You know what psi at redline?
Can not really see dyno sheet from my phone, but 400 on dyno dynamic is pretty good. I gotta check the dyno sheet when I get home tonight.

Edit: got home look over your dyno and mine, pretty similar. But at high rpms you makes better power.

great number...
Can u explain more about the 65K bearing upgrade and how much extra is that? Does that mean your sc which is rated at 50K rpm can now withstand speeds as far as 65K without worrying about the impeller being destroyed?

I got the 65K bearings because well I dont have to worry about it anymore with the 2.87 shifting at redline.. as with the stock bearings I was close to over spinning the blower.
I dont think that the impeller will withstand speeds that high, at least the stock one, but I got it anyways because I plan to upgrade down the line to the 928.
My next step is the 928 and I would like to take it to 7K
oh and I got my bearings from Todd, www.superchargersrebuilds.com
Great numbers on DD. I bet more fun to drive now
The Z looks great too. Congrats...
Were did you pick up that little nismo sticker on your bumper? that's what I'm missing.
