Looking forward to the next phase of the build
We won't know for sure until the motor teardown.

I may be the first FI 370Z casualty? Sometimes, it's not always great to be the first.

Also, there was a Stillen SC G37 that blew his after a dealer installed headers and told the owner he didn't need a retune.

I will be watching and talking to Ryan about what he is going to do on his build and maybe we can do it at the same time since I still have the blown block in my garage.
Haha, you just don't want to be the slower VQ in the Tampa area.
