To 12.5 or 13.1 you would make some awesome numbers and probably break the 400whp barrier. But that's my 2 worthless cents.

Not trying to chase 400whp with this build like you, Elmo. Since I have to dump a new motor in the car Im wondering how that stage 2 would perform kinda as is. Id be running stillen cai, z1 headers, test pipes to stillen cbe. 11.5:1 compression. How Im looking at it, it kinda seems worth spending an extra 2-3k over what it would cost me to buy a used motor and about 1.5k less than a new one from Nissan. Dry sump, e85, not trying to get all that involed. If I could squeeze 350-360whp outta that I think I could be satisfied. Although I wish I didnt have to replace her motor otherwise these funds could be going towards a BP turbo kit...
