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.

How many cars have you tuned before your own? Those are impressive numbers.

Also, I think that you are very close to what this engine can take. I'm no expert but I've seen a couple of TTs near the 700, I think one was 681hp when the rods decided to bend. Personally I think anything close to 7 is plenty of hp. But I guess when we have that kind of power for a while we always look for more.
