I started at 8psi which made 405whp/399wtq after we pulled some timing out. It was making more but to be extra safe I told Tony to keep it at ~400/400. Now I am mixing in some 100 octane with the normal 91 and running the car at ~10.5psi, I'm not sure how much power it is making but it sure is faster.

I'm still on the stock block and waiting for UMS to move into their new shop before we start the next build.
IMO 8psi at ~400whp is a good safe number with a safe tune. You can run more but the risk goes way up.
You can do cams/springs now but they are a lot of work. If you are going to do that before a build I would make sure you plan to run it like that for a while. As for parts (pistions, rods, etc) you have lots of options. The forced induction section over on My350Z has more info than you would ever need. It is a good idea to do a lot of research before you start buying parts.

No I posed another one in the north cal section from when I was up in San Fran/Bodega Bay in July.
I'll put it here too so you can see if I look anything like you pictured.

My Fiance rented the family an Audi Q7 for the drive which was awesome. I was very happy driving it.

What did you think? You can send it by PM if you want, I would love to know.
