That was all the suspension work plus I also changed my speakers again... ( 4th time ) I used pioneers pro 6.5 midbass speakers, 4 alpine tweeters (100 rms each ) and two optidrive tweeters. Here are some pics.

LS is a good economical choice for more reliable power. Been done a few times and fits really well in the Gs engine bay. Other motor options are there as well. You could also buy a built VQ35DE and swap that in as well.

Stage one or stage two built VQ from IPP + supercharger. They're bored .020 over, so slightly more displacement, they're FI ready, and supercharged would yield nice power at 12-14lbs boost. Should be super reliable too. LS swap is a good route too, but you're talking about changing eeeevvvvverything. I dunno about your state, but its a no no in CA.

I wanna keep my vq because everything works but I want more power... I wanna be close to the 500 hp range reliable and daily driven or 550 without issues, I've contemplated the idea of doing a 2jz swap also but still I have to build it to get to my goal too so I don't know either plus I still have to go crazy splicing the harness and to make some of the stuff work...

Hell... Difficult decision..
