Ok so i posted this over at my350z.com too but....im looking for a good shop here in socal that will warranty a greddy kit at 8 lbs? or at least be sure that my engine won't blow to pieces...I know a lot of ppl here have been running 8 lbs w/ no problems but I just went to Street Image and they told me they can't gurantee anything even at stock boost....4myride.com told me they could gurantee it at stock boost but anything over that on stock internals is a disaster waiting to happen...My goal is ~400rwhp give or take 20 hp and I'll be keeping the crawford plenum + hf cats if i go w/ the greddy and a dual 3" exhaust...can someone help me out here...I've been searching the forums day and night for the past month or 2 trying to decide but I can't. Someone please help before I end up spending my money elsewhere
Thanks,
Anthony

Ok well i keep changing my mind....I spent all day thinking about everything I want and the price, etc...I think I might just wait it off a few more months.....get some more money.....get an SGP short block and then throw on the TT and everything else...Or maybe just get the rods/pistons and keep my block.....I have a question though...can I just buy the rods/pistons and have my car be safe or is there anything else i NEED?

oh ya street image said 2k for install w/ "new hardware" kuz greddy hardware sucks....

Well that's exactly why I want a good place to install it so it CAN run right...I plan on doing rods/pistons at the same time too just to be sure my engine won't blow...This means saving up for a few more months

You should check out the people at VRT (ViolentRacing .com) They have done a lot of twin turbo kit installs on non built motors and have done the motor builds in-house with the TT kits. I am happy with thier work.

and how much psi, what TT kit, what other things do you have done and how much HP/TQ to the wheels?

Exclamation

try Speed Force Racing SFR, they are the company that provided kits to vrt.

You do have an abundance of shops here in SoCal to choose from, only advice is to do a thorough search on the forums for whatever Shop you decide to go with. If there is anything negative about them, ... someone usually voices it on the net somewhere.

You need to talk to the people at VRT ( http://www.violentracing.com ) and, Trust me you will be hard pressed to find anyone more knowledgable about these VQ35 motors. (619) 647-4744 or (619) 654-3585 and tell them Scott sent you. You will be glad you did.

sorry, I should have accented the past tense I used in my statement. They originally used SFR kits, either way, they are good kits.
