The progress looks great!! This looked like a huge project and was executed very well. 6 months does not seem like too bad considering the amount of work they have done. I would be stoked if any shop around my area could pull that off period. And I'm sure the customer did not get billed the whole 6 months.

Been watching this build for some time now - the forged folks handle this car with kid gloves, etc.

-Nice car, really nice car.

Looks like Sharif has her broken in and ready for tuning. Can't wait to get it back home!

Been great working with the pros at Forged. Now the payoff...

Default Forged Performance: A MONSTER of 350Z Vert

Today we have a long term 350Z project on the dyno with Sharif. This car is what we consider a FULL build and projects of this scope take a few months to complete. Nothing on this car was left untouched: Interior, wheels, brakes, suspension, complete drivetrain, ECU, you name it...we upgraded it. Everyone here at Forged is very excited to see this car hit the streets with some serious power. We are expecting to see some pretty high numbers from this FP Spec 3.9L Stroker equipped with twin Greddy 20G's. I will have a full mod list, video of dyno pulls and power numbers in a future post, so keep your eyes pealed for that.

For now, here are couple pics of this nasty vert getting broken in on the dyno....

Looks like Sharif will finish the pump gas tune tomorrow. Race gas tune next week. Yea!

Don't want to steal Ryan's thunder by revealing preliminary results he just phoned into me, but wow.
