Motor will be out by tomorrow saturday and my new block will be here by friday or next monday HOPEFULLY!!!!! ;D

some of the goodies that are here already:

650 injectors

Meth Kit stage 2 from snow performance

some new components that have not gone in yet, to finish the sound system.


ILL POST UP PICS AS WE GO!!!

Nice build, but do you think you can hit 500whp with the turbonetics kit w/o race gas or headwork? Do you have already a fuel return system and fuel rails? I see your adding a meth kit that will help, but did Sharif say this setup could reach your goal?

Not trying to be negative here, anyways good luck on your build. Hope you reach your Horsepower goals.
look into upgrading your brakes with all the horsepower your getting soon

hey man all comments are welcome and as far as ive gotten info from researching for a while and according to my tuner among a few other people ive talked from jwt and including forged performance i dont think i need a fuel return system just yet and stock heads should get me there but its still something to ask more directly cuz those arent questions i asked but topics we touched during our talks ..

thanks for the input!!!

and yeah lets try to get a big group of z's to represent cuz so far down here theres to many vettes and mustangs running the joint!!!!! lets show em how z's role!!!!!!!
