Interesting.

Can you share what power/tq you are making, and is it all holding up alrite.

After the motor/trans build, was there alot of teething issues with them, and or major breakdowns that required further re-building?

I just want to know, if I should continue to bother on this platform, or sell it for something like the other cars in my OP.

His car's not complete yet but here a thread on one that's completed. He's making a little over 1000 whp. He's running a manual trans though with a Mazworx motor

ok gona read later, thanks.

But wow, he started that thread in 2018. 3 yrs, and still not finished?

I am unsure if I can wait long periods of time again without the car. I have already done that on numerous occasions.

More of a reason why I want to switch platforms and go for a stage 3 build + tune on either the B58 or TTRS platform.

But then again, I have already spent tons of coin on my Z and should keep it, and I think it still looks very good! Ahh decisions, decisions.

The 1000 whp car is complete. jchammonds car isn't complete yet. Your car doesn't need to be down too long if you're not using your existing motor for your new build

Ok understood.

Yeah, I was thinking about getting a side motor.

But in all honesty, I don't need to aim for 1000whp. I rekon a reliable 800whp would be plenty enough. I just don't want to deal with heaps of head aches, and or failures though lol i feel like i have done that on my current build for plenty of years.

That's why I am willing to pay the coin for the best work and install, and pray its not going to be tons of ongoing issues.

But then I guess, when venturing into this kind of territory, nothing is guaranteed rite?

The 2 best out there are Mazworx and SOHO but like you said, nothing is guaranteed. Jchammond or Spooler are better suited to answer your questions though, I just follow their builds
