oh really? ha ha the thread you linked to I think concluded that they were about the same. I'd honestly like to know why those Greddy turbos have such a sweet powerband given they are not BB and such an old design.

And you know Luie and BlackPearlz that south-central NC isn't exactly the hub of civilization. Head towards Charlotte or Raleigh and you guys will find plenty of fast FI vettes - and a few custom Zs but prolly not too much can hang with you guys (excepting the FI vettes and bikes). Of course, only the mustang GTs push to race... The vettes drive extra slow so you can appreciate their beauty as you're forced to pass 'em - lol.

I am running the 20'gs and so are a few other people.

I have not read the whole thread, (I am on vacation in Asia and the beach & bar are calling....;-) ) but good luck to you.

As for hitting 700+whp on 18g's with a stock bore & built engine.. I am not sure that can be done without running NOS or something.
I am sure if you have done your research and with Joe's and other's help on the boards you have a solid pan, just keep in mind things can go wrong and that it will probably take more time and more money to get to your goals then you expected.

negativity? grow a set man.. for god sakes you are in the military..

you are running Greddy 18G Turbo's on with stock heads.. at best you are going to see 550 whp .. maybe if you are lucky 585 whp..

then you add a 50 shot to that.. you are looking at 600 whp.. maybe 625 whp..

to see 700 whp no problems or guessing you are looking at a 150 shot..

i don't know if you ever used Nitrous before.. but the bigger the shot.. the shorter it lasts.. you are looking at 15 seconds to 20 seconds on a full bottle of Nitrous..

last time i checked.. Luie isn't running Greddy 18G turbo's..

there is NO reason to upgrade the heads...to get another 10-20 hp out of it...trust me ive done the research and asked everyone if i should or not,...thus the reason why im NOT.

4k to upgrade heads for no real reason...

what does me being in the military have to do with growing a pair?? this is a thread to talk about me getting to 700 and my set up, and you come in here trying to start drama. its not necessary. take it to the OT if you want to deal with that ****.
and i meant joe, and joe is making over 700 without nos

I have heard about these reports, but I have ever seen gang activity in the Army and specifically aroundBragg.

start drama? i come here to lend you some technical expertise since i have 1) knowledge of the Greddy Turbo's 2) Knowledge of using nitrous..

and i am here starting drama? come on man.. are you serious..

i thought you military guys could take good critisim and advice..

anyway.. i leave you and your thread.. and i wish you all the best with your goal to 700 whp

i shall return however after you post your dyno sheet

oh BTW.. could you point me to Joe's latest dyno sheet? https://my350z.com/forum/shop-builds/284300-forged-performance-high-boost-greddy-tt-with-meth-fcon.html this one is under 700 whp

The 18G's can do 700rwhp on just boost, but they are tapped out at that point. I'm changing a few things around on my car soon to see if I can get a little bit more out of them You should be able to hit your goal.

You sir are wrong....as usuall. I put down 606rhwp on sharif's dyno with STOCK revup heads on 19psi and 110 octane. That was also with a UTEC and still using the small greddy downpipes going into 2 1/4 test pipes. With cams and downpipes I would put money on me hitting close to 650whp.
