It is 550, i know its on a dynojet but still 525 is pretty close to the limit. I'm almost thinking of putting in new pistons/rods and running at a lower compression if needed.

A Z06 may get you on the top end, but if done right it will get f*cked. I'm not buying this kit for street racing, but for more of just enjoying/feeling the power of over 500whp

Ok, but are you going to actually take it to the track?

Reason for asking HIM is that he obviously has a LOT of experience with these engines and wouldn't be taking a "correct me if I'm wrong" guess. The idea is to not have any work done to the bottom end at all, not "major", not "minor" (whatever that is). I don't know if the idea behind showing a 11psi pull is to show what his SC is capable of doing that or what. So that's the reason behind my question. As of right now I know few people who think 10+ psi on this engine is safe..in fact I've seen / heard of a 3 or 4 370z motors grenading in the past month, some FI and some not. I share the opinion that we're going to start seeing more than a few FI motors pop over the next 6 months and because of that, I am trying to be as careful as I can with my motor. How many of you guys that are going with the GTM Stage 2 kit are planning on running 11 psi? |

No way I'm running 11 psi.

8psi. Maybe 10. I say 10 because I'm not tracking the car and am older (mature enough) to know that I can't run it balls out all of the time. Just because I can doesn't mean I will, if you know what I mean.

Who said I was speaking for other people ? Can't read? I said correct me if I'm wrong should be around 550. I'm not speaking for Sam. Did I say Sam said this ? Uhmm no. So stop saying I'm speaking for other people. Wayne and I and Sam had a good two hour talk about the stage two and etc.
