Hey guys, I've finally manage to find some time to make my build journal with lots of encouragement from Marken, a friend from AAM Competition "sup Marken!". I have to admit I've been lazy with the build, and I like to apologize for the lack of some installation pics. But I am going to give you my words that I will keep you guys updated from now on. So hang in there while I am sorting out some pics for uploads.
A little bit of myself, of course 
My name is Ben Tang and I've always been fascinated with speed since 1990. I am a racer as well, and I've raced competitively with NASA. I had a year with NASA's Honda Challenge H4 Series back in 2006. I've almost made to National if it wasn't a blown motor that came at the end of that year. I was more then sure I was heading to Ohio for National, since I was up there with the front runners and so was my seasonal points. Well, that ended there, and I was quietly looking for my next car.
In 2009, when the Nissan 370z made its first appearance in Los Angeles Auto Show, I went there with my lovely wife. After entering the building, I literally walk straight to the Nissan booth and told my wife I REALLY want this car. She replied me "dream on", so I had to keep repeating myself for about for 3 years before I went to my local Nissan dealer
. I have to tell you that before I buy this Awesome Z, I know exactly what I am going to do with it, no jokes. I know I will strip that almost everything out with no holds barred, all out modifications until I go broke, no I am serious lol. Now, that's a poor man's story.
What is the purpose of this car?
It is primary built for Time Attack Challenges in SoCal California. This car is only going to the days on the track, and will not be driven on the street at all.
What class are you competing in?
The car will be competing in Street Class for a few events, then it will be going in Limited Class with some optimizations that is going to put me in an advantage. I am looking closely at the 4.5 Liter stroker kit, and more boosts which should land it somewhere near 700 whp. Then comes the wider tires and full blown aeros that is going to take advantage of the new found power.
