| A while back, I installed HKS actuators on my Z1 stage 2 turbos to allow them to achieve higher boost. Because of a crappy reguator/guage combo on my air compressor I had at the time, I thought i was calibrating them to 18psi base boost, however once the motor was back in the car I ended up only getting ~14psi. Unhappy with this, I rode it out through the rest of the season. Friday evening I hopped under the car to start fiddling with the actuators, and it hit me. It was going to be a HUGE PITA to adjust them while the motor was in the car. Contemplating a few other mods whilst the motor was out of the car, I decided to do it..... 2.5 hours later the motor was sitting on a pallet. Knowing that I had these beauty's waiting to be installed.... 
I went ahead and tore the rear end out of the car too.... 
I a few hours saturday tearing the motor down.... 
Yesterday evening i ripped the original wiring harness out of it, as well as a leaky PS hose 
Here is a nice pic of the destruction...
The plans are as follows....
1. JWT 500 Cams
2. JWT HD Springs
3. JWT 90-93 Adapter Plates
4. Gasket Rebuild Kit (for heads)
5. Border 850cc Injectors
6. Higher Base Boost (19psi)
7. RPS Max 6-puck sprung, RPS Flywheel (already installed)
8. Leader Gears
9. New OEM Wiring Harness
10. New PS Hose
11. JWT VTC Springs
12. Misc hoses that I want to replace
13. P&P on the heads w/3 angle job
14. Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials for the rear-275-40-17 (already installed)
15. Sparco Speed seats (installed)
16. RJS 5 point harnesses (when the cage goes in)
17. Z1 1-pc driveshaft
18. Alignment (performed already) Pretty exhaustive list but I think that just about covers it.....the main goals for this year are 600rwhp and a 10 second pass (yeah i know drag racing is lame!) I'll start taking box shots once all the parts come in :)\ PeaZe!
DO IT!
Correct......503rwhp/488rwtq
