OK... I originally wanted the 530 kit as well but JWT offered the GT28s at a steal as well in '08. Was running the 700bb kit for 3yrs on my stock block and really enjoyed it. However in the back on my head I always knew I wasn't getting full potential from it and wondering if/when I would blow my block. When my trans lost 3rd gear in July '10, I parked it. I took a job back in Iraq in Dec '10 and told myself it I was going to fix the car I'm going to build it and do everything all at once.
However I was also considering selling it for a GT-R or CTS-V. Decided to keep it since it was paid off and I didn't want the $1k+ payments from the other two choices. So Dec '11 I ordered my IPP block and had the car towed to PowerFab in Houston. None-the-less, It's been a stressful 10-11 months but I'm looking forward to coming home and enjoying the new power and reliability (knock on wood).
BTW: Good looking car!

you will be very happy, i originally went with the 530BB kit, then built my block with the same kit.
as far as GTR goes, i would not compare it to the CTS-V at all. the GTR is perfect in many ways, the price tag is what makes it hard to choose.
but i smoke stage 1 gtr upgrades all day long. after 3rd gear spin hook it into 4th and bam.
i also broke my 3rd gear maybe in 08, went with the CD09 and no problems since. Hamdulliah.
i hope you get back home safely and enjoy your new beast.
here is my car again in my shop.

LOL Well when I'm home and if I don't like the sills I'll sell them back to ya.
As far as the build... Too much money/time/stress for the results. Knowing what I know now... I should've bought the CTS-V.

You're use to reading those big *** turbos than. LOL The GT28's aren't that big. 16-18psi is full efficiency for them. Any more and you start overusing the turbo and lose power. Think with a higher compression and smaller cam they'd spool a bit quicker but I like how the power is almost N/A powerband. I think this will be a fun street car. Take ya for a ride and tell me you're not impressed. LOL

I actually need to talk to Bryan about that. Being in Iraq and him busy hard press to check each other. None-the-less looking forward to getting home soon and driving the new power.
Oh and for **** and giggles I found my baseline dyno from 2005(?) when I bought my Z. Completely stock with 20k(?) miles on it. Baseline was 232whp/226wtq and the Built Boosted is 551whp/558wtq. Gains of 319whp & 332wtq. Don't know how many people have a baseline VQ35DE to compare too. Thought I'd share.
