I have been gone awhile, but I'm back....
Gone... but not forgotten. Its been a long road, but seems it was worth the wait. VERY NICE 
Were you able to get the SP triple hanger to allow you to still fully use your fuel gauge? A few of us that have it keep getting it hung up around 1/4 tank.

Are you quoting others, or is this from personal experience? The rods are carried over from my original built motor, some time ago. But, I am not worried about the rods letting go one bit. I would push it to 900+ without the eagle rods being a concern for engine failure, due to being over powered.

str8dum1 had an Eagle rod put windows in his block....i think he made into the 900whp range but I am not sure at what power level the rod let go. There was a discussion thread about the Eagle rods or he may chime in with his experience, I am not sure on the details i just remember seeing the thread, however several guys have made over 800whp with eagles and no issues at all.
Do you have any more pictures of the wheels they look great, I am not sure I have seen CCWs on a Z what sizes are you running.

Wasn't he pushing 38psi tho? At those levels the cylinder pressure is so high, anything could go wrong. It is odd to me that his car made 900rwhp at 38psi. After what we have seen with mine, it wouldn't take near 38psi to reach 900rwhp. I would guess around 30psi max on my car would net 900rwhp DD. Its been awhile, but didn't SP make around 1250rwhp at ~38psi?
I will have more pictures up soon. The car is going to be shot my a professional sometime next week.
Awsome!!!!!!!
I am very, very happy to see the hp holding on in the upper RPM range with the 0.63 A/R turbune housings.
I have the same cams and am using GT30R turbos with a 0.64 A/R. I have been a little concerned that back pressure may become an issue in the upper RPM range due to the smaller A/R. Of course, the GT30Rs are a little smaller than your turbos, but seeing your dyno plot gives me a sense of relief. I kept going back and forth on whether to change to .86 A/R housings, but ultimately decided not to and to stick with the faster spoolup housings. After seeing your dyno, I'm glad I stuck with the 0.64 A/R.

very cool!!! looks alot like my final build. oil pump even in the same place
i'm 90% back together. Ya I needed alot of boost to make any power. I made 713DD on pump/meth with 1200cc injectors at like 27psi. But with E85 you are probably 8-10 degrees more timing, so not terrible different. I had much smaller cams. Went with C8s this time with a 3.8L stroker, carrillo, heads, ID2000s the whole nine.
U heading to Zdayz?

If you have not done so, maybe ceramic coat your headers to minimize the loss of energy being transferred to the turbos. It's pretty cheap to do.
coated and wrapped from the 1st build . believe me, in the 7 months it took to get the motor all done, there isnt a stone left unturned. I'm sure thawk408 knows all about waiting and keep adding more in the meantime.
