I say like Zo, Dyno it, tune it and drive it until you see and feel what you really have. Not sure of your background in automotive there Jared. Or what cars you've had before ( please don't come back and say some Viper TT,, lol ). But your sitting on some 550rwhp potential turbo's there as is. But your profile looks like some mods are missing that you don;t know you have, or owner before over looked it for the money he spent on the turbo kit. HKS gt2530 turbos
Jim wolf ECU Nismo 555 injectors
HKS carbon ti exhaust

ported and polished intake plenum Stock exhaust manifolds, major killer again on any turbo, but more so on much larger after markets drawing more exhaust out of the motor then stockers can flow causing it to back pressure back into the motor where real damage can occur. I'll guess you have down pipes and testpipes since those turbo's have 1/4 pipe adapters that come with them. If not there goes mega Torque and Horsepower. Is this car an Auto or Manual, please say manual,, lol? With Auto's, your going to fall short or run deep ( $$$ ) to build the car around the power you have and use it in racing. Level 10 tranny's and other name brand set ups with a Torque converter to handle it will cost you about the same as the turbo kit itself. Manual, like other's go with RPS Max Six puck or twin disc of major names and you'll be fine for a while. Pull the stock drive line as well, won't handle that Torque level either, your looking a Steel minimum one piece or Carbon for sure. Next get with this under construction right now with 2835's and TD06/20g's and ask them all the hell there going there getting them up and running and then asking the more important question, how much in parts and labor. To go from your 550rwhp car to there 750 to 800 ( Max ) your looking over 30k+ and I haven't thought about that figure in depth, just pretty much know from looking into it, and that's 30k from where you are now. Because your turbo's will be sold, your injectors will be sold, your motor will be completely built, your Auto will be switched to a Ford or Chevy auto, your manual with be a triple plate and pray the gears can hold 750TQ and it won't for long. Your whole fuel system will be yanked, your whole computer system will be yanked, your going to have much dials and switches and adjustments to make when operating the car from where you are now. Your powerband is going to be just about dead for street use, forget light to light, you'll never see full spool. Going drag racing, try having NOS now help you get that thing going and have a respectable time unless you got a 5k stall converter or shippable triple disc. Your going to have to buy all the gauges under the sun to monitor the car's every move now too. Things like Fuel pressure, Oil pressure and ETG temps will kill your big money project in no time, did I miss anything? What about brakes? Suspension? size of rear tries? Bro your going to need to build a whole new car to handle the dream your thinking about walking into. Just my insight :) Remember, not many 550rwhp cars running around out there and for sure not many 750+ ones. You'd be amazed what an awesome running 550rwhp Z could do as a care free driving car. Anything over 550 is traction problems anyway, under is bad enough for us guys, but now your looking at Race Logic traction control system, dear lord make him stop,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lol. :)
