That reminds me of my build. I straight up would rather have a sequential but I don't have that sequential money right now (building a car is apparently expensive and not rational... lol)

I fully expect that the rear end of my Z will not keep up with the power once turned up, so I have a Winters Quick change on deck (fully upgraded 5g paid, paid for). The Quick Change is the tip of the peen because the subframe has to be changed out (2.5g), pair of drive shafts (2g), cut my custom drive shaft (2-500), TBM rear brake conversion (1500) and what ever else pops up (1-2g).

Ok, so where am I going with this... oh yeah. I like that dudes build but there's SO MUCH cost to every damn thing. Sometimes it's beneficial to enjoy what you have for a little bit. That's why I'm going to run my car low power with the stock rear end even though I have the baddest rear diff out there.

Just another thing mentality, especially when you have high standards, makes completion very difficult. I commend you sticking out all the set backs.

An additional thought... I looked at buying those exact carbon fiber Tillett seats in that z06. ... Figured I could do that down the road.

That Frankenstein intake is MONEY.
