Thanks for the sympathies !

Biggest reason for the delay is that the original shop doing the SC'r build bit off 'just a little more than they could chew' with the Z.

It was a 2 man operation and they did European cars and mostly bolt on upgrades...not custom fabrications...and with little to no experience with the 370.
After the motor blew [drove the car exactly 1 day] it [the motor] was sent to IPP in Texas <<< they did a great job.
It came back to N.J. last September - Just in time for the shop owner to take a 5 month hiatus.

So the car sat.

When he came back in March we realized that we weren't on the same page anymore - so I pulled the plug on the build and moved the car out of his shop and down to AAM in Maryland.
AAM has also been real good support wise and they are Nissan / Infiniti specialists.
But I have also upped the goals for power and performance as well.

The car is being converted to Flex Fuel with EcuTek tune.
AAM is developing a Twin Fuel Pump for the high HP thirsty Z's ...

That should be finished soon...and then it's Dyno Day.

Till then I be drivin' 55 in my G37
