all it comes down to is money... do you have 12,000 for the initial build and do you have 10,000 if your motor blows? You should have 20k of money that wouldnt hurt you to spend if you go the F/I route on your 370z...

What I may do is buy my brothers 350z for 7k (03 Grand Touring) (just take over his payments, that what he owes) and start a build on that car while enjoying my N/A 370... You can pick up turbo kits or SCers for cheap on the 350 boards.... IMO the 370z is too new and a good NA car and I wouldnt want to risk needing a 10k motor if it blows... vq35DE's can be had for 800 and I can build it and drop the motor in , than buy a turbo kit and build a 350 for a fraction of the cost.. Still making really good power...

yea that is sick man, i really want to see your car in person.

I'm only on the fence because our shop has a used stillen SC i can pick up for around 3500-4000 + install....

so ill only be a little over what my N.A build will cost. The shop also has 4.08 gears and a manual pumpkin/lsd in stock

ahhhhh decisions
