It really was plenty for this car. I daily drive this car. Admittedly... not as much this year because I bought a motorcycle a couple months ago and have been really enjoying it. However, the 370z is still my ONLY CAR so ya it gets driven regularly.
Well anyway... I kept seeing all you guys around here putting like 12 - 14 psi into your cars now. It really got me thinking - "what would my old lady do with 12 psi of boost?"
So tonight I went to find out.
671 RWHP
520 TQ
12.1 PSI BOOST - E85
100% Stock Engine - untouched
Greddy Twin 20G Turbo Kit w/ CJM modified wastegate setup
CJM S2SE Fuel System w/ Walbro 400 pump & ID1000cc Injectors
Greddy Dual 2.75" Exhaust
OS Giken Twin Clutch w/ RJM Pedal and Z Spd CSC
UpRev tuned by me - the only UpRev and the only E85 car I have ever tuned... so theres room for improvement!
HKS EVC6 Boost Controller
OEM GT-R Spark Plugs
I think that is everything I have done that is related to HP.

Wow, good job CJ. You beat our previously held stock block E85 record. I guess we just need to crack 700 to take it back! Hahaha...seriously, great work man!
As for the "pump gas" banter, when I make that claim, I am considering only 91/93 in the discussion. It is correct, E85 could be considered in the discussion, but that brings the "gray" into the conversation. Most tend to forget that E85 is very scarce out here on the west coast and we are subject to the phenomenal 91 octane.
Keep up the good fight buddy!
