Default Who makes a forged short block for 350Z?

I am looking at the APS TT kit but I need to strengthen the block first.

The Pauter rods and Arias pistons seem like a great product but for the price with labor I would prefer a fully built block off the shelf for a little more money.

I am from the STi world and the best block on the market was $7999 by Crawford Performance witch is a 2.8 stoker.

I noticed the AEBS stroker kit but for $8,000 it does not include a new block plus there is extra labor costs. I cannot have any downtime since this is my daily driver.

Thanks guys.

Dan, the blocks that SGP racing build...or anyone else for that matter, are not "stronger" blocks. They are stock blocks, that are stuffed with great parts and meticulous labor.

So not sure what your question is getting at. SGP does a fine job, and can build the block any way you desire.

Post what ever you come up with and the cost. I am sure many TT people would love to know, especially those of us that have not purchased a TT yet.

I have been looking at SPG Blocks since they have been available for the VQ. Im hoping that sometime soon I'll be able to go down there and see all the benefeits and costs involved with the construction and build and performance factors. They're only 37 miles away from me.
