there is still a chance it might be at the run. the car has been running fine for a while, we keep finding new problems that are causing the original TN to bottleneck, we will figure out one thing, get 10 more hp, find another get 10 more hp, all hoping that the one thing we figure out in the end will be the whole issue with the power bottlenecking.
last time we were at a solid 530whp at moderate boost, turn up the boost and it just makes the same power. we have replaced EVERY pipe now from the original TN kit. it is no longer an upgrade, its a one of big single kit with turbonetics products being used. the car, drives, sounds, looks amazing!!
its been a long long process to do a TN upgrade but it seems like it all needs to be upgraded for large power.
cant wait to drive the finished product, we have hours and hours and hours and hours and hours on it, its more of a challenge to me now than anything. we have had it on the dyno 8 times now, every time bettering the previous numbers but not getting that big final number we are looking for and having a kit that when you turn up the boost, it makes more power every time!!
thanks for your patience craig and the final product will be done with one of the most original 350zs seen on the roads today...

Still no word on the car, and sorry I couldnt make it out to The Run this weekend but I wasn't going to go out without the car. I was really hoping to go.
I hope to have it back by the PRI show in Orlando, which is this Thursday-Saturday at the Orange County Convention Center off I-drive. I'll be out there on Friday with the car and should be at or around the Turbonetics booth. If it's running and you'd like a ride or to see it just hit me up there.

Uhh.. just a small update on this...
Jeremy has the car back from the fabricator and so far I hear good things. It'll be on the dyno on monday for the final tune, then once my mufflers come in for the exhaust (late next week) they will be welded on and it will be finished.

we drove it around a couple times. WOW, the boost comes in sooo hard . full boost at 4300 rpms. it has the same lag as a TN ST kit. thats it!!
this is truly going to be a bad *** car to drive on the street, track, or drag strip.
the .84 AR is perfect, i just cant believe how fast this 72mm spools up...
