just a year at forged, two years since i started the build. $75,000 into it and i've had 1000 miles with bad turbo bearings 6 months ago, was a total embarrassment to even drive without boost. Of course that was after i twisted forged arms off with frustration. I can't even express my anger.
it's well over 50, but i'm afraid to count. I've had some serious setbacks with the first built motor, had to replace everything including turbo's. I also have two of most parts still. here's a 4 minute calculation (numbers aren't exact, no flame) i counted it in my head and it was over 60k and that's not counting all the little things OR how much it's cost me to trailer this all over the country, then have it shipped, then rental cars, then flights to atlanta. SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A Gtr or a zr-1 even.

update: results
Hey guys-finally got some news and results.
Forged finished my car last week and I am more than pleased with the results.
@ 14.5 psi Sharif managed to pull 516 whp at 7000 with more to go, don't remember the tq. I'll post the dyno sheets when I get them. Because I still have stock wheels 1st and 2nd get no traction and when I get on it I hit 7k rpms so fast.
I just made the long trek back to FT Hood from GA so I'm due for my first oil change. The Carbonetic triple has given me a work out this past week! Thanks goes to FP peeps, Sharif, Sandy, Jason, Decker, Ryan and of course Caeser.
Stage 2 should come around later this year with, suspension, wider wheels/tires, additional cooling mods, and more boost. But for now I love what I got, open dumps are awesome!
Dyno and Pics soon!
