Don't over think it...it's really a matter of dollars and cents or if you are considering a different platform. I will tell you this, 600 plus whp is just stupid fun in a Z. I let my brother in Gilbert drive mine for the first time since flex fueling and he gave it a little throttle in second gear and the tires spun and stepped out a tad...he said ****, I wasn't expecting that!!! Let's put it this way, my brother hardly ever uses a cuss word and he has driven many exotics and just shakes his head at my car since being boosted.

Right on, I hate waiting after I have made up my mind...and I agree with your call in getting an EBC. Pretty cheap insurance!

I was surprised this morning by a tune done over the late night hrs. I wasnt even aware i was getting tuned so i have no details at all until visconti calls me. Anyhow i am super happy to have broken 700whp at last. But i think there is still some room once i upgrade my intake manifold. Will fill you guys in with details once i find out myself.

Thanks z&i. I def will let u know how it compares to 660. The m370 manifold was recommended to me by 1life so i think ill invest in one over the winter and see if we can crank it up a bit more.

I had asked about the M370 Plenum during the first part of my build and was told that these modified plenums were OK with NA motors but with Hi Boost FI motors they had a tendency to flex and warp under boost.
The reason given was that the modification to the plenums included cutting and removing some of the internal baffles and while allowing for a more direct airflow they also compromised the structural integrity of the design. How true ??? I dunno - but I stuck with the OEM plenum at least for now. The car isn't finished yet but is in the final stages ... Hope to get it on the road and put some miles on it before it's time to put the winter cover on it !!!

keep us posted bro! Well 1life has got a serious 820whp build and his m370 was able to hold 24 psi on 10:1 compression. So with not many options on the table i think that the m370 is my best option until someone releases an intake manifold thats not going to cost an arm and a leg.

C'mon Rusty, come to the 'boosted' side of life....
Now I'm a fine one to talk, mine's not boosted yet, but she will be.

I have a few things to get off my financial plate first. Plus I want to get everything else to the Nismo done before boost.

But if the M370 can handle 24 psi on 10:1 CR ... I'm running 9.5:1 CR and will be nursing the motor along until the spring - no break in miles on the motor as of yet. Will have to skip taking it to the track this year. Keeping this ugrade open pending further developments !!!
