Hmmm I have a 437 WHP 370 Z with 3 year 36 k mile warranty on motor and drivetrain. Haven't broke anything for 6 months now.

Seems like goal one " dont blow it up" was violated in quick order with the "cheap" EVO?

Stock 500 hp GTR is looking like a bargin to me!

Why don't we line up, warranty to warranty Shamu?

lol, somehow i beat a KB Cobra the night my engine blew. We came back around to line up and the dude was like "wtf do you have in that car? i laughed when they paired me up against this "lancer" and then when the light went green you were like a bullet off the line and i couldnt keep up"..lol.

So an update. The engine is at the shop getting the measurements of the bore, cylinders and valve seats. Theres a few little nicks in the seats so i might have to go +1mm over with the valves. Parts list is as follows...

Engine:

Ball Bearing FP Black, 25psi WGA, hiflow oil feed line and ported
2.2L Stroker kit with a Manley 94mm crankshaft, Manley I-Beam Rods, Wiseco Pistons (86.5mm)
ACL Rod/Main Bearings
Tomei Cams
Supertech Valves (possibly +1mm overbore)
Supertech Dual Valve springs
Ported head
Ported Intake Manifold
Ported Exhaust Manifold
MAP Oil Cooler
ARP Main Studs
ARP Head studs

Drivetrain:

Jacks Transmission Stage 0 tcase build (pretty much just replaces the orings/seals and gives it a good cleaning
AWD Motorsports Lightweight Aluminum Driveshaft
Torque Solutions Differental/Driveshaft solid bushings

Other stuff:

AMS Lightweight Battery kit (since my oem battery is dead)
AMS AC Delete Kit (dont use it and i eventually want to get the car to 3000lbs)
AMS Lightweight Front Crossmember

The new goal with the car is to have 500hp, 3000lbs and have peak boost by 4000rpm.
