: the long haul. I even did a lot of the same things I read about in those articles on my engine when I recently rebuilt it. It felt good to know I was following the 'pro' footsteps.. 570RWHP is nothing to balk at, there's just a group of people here who talk all kinds of crap, probably still have 14s Z's and dont know the difference between a lifter and a rod if they had pictures right in front of them. To the people who know anything about building these powerplants, they realize that 570RWHP is a very impressive turnout. : The only thing I would like to have seen done differently was the ECU programming. Ever heard of the Zemulator? If not, check it out:
: [ http://ashleypowers.com/Zemulator/Index.htm ] : That's my shameless plug - but my real message is simply not to let the creeps around here get under your skin. Most of the members see through the thick of that crap anyway.. It only takes one person in an elevator full of people to stink it up.. Building a VG is analogous to taking the stairs... one step at a time... : Do you guys have any plans of future upgrades? I see no reason to stop the "Project Z".. Next is some turbos from Garrett, basicaly nearly the same compressor section I used but with s slightly different wheel that is a little more effiecnt and a turbine wheel with a little better flow but much greater efficency and and ball bearing center section. While the engine is out, I want to add JWT's second generation cams which have about the same lift and duration but more area under the lift curve. These mods should have a little more peak power but will really help make the bottom end more snappy and have better throttle response. I'll run a little more boost and should make an easy 600 wheel hp. Mike
