Here is the bottom line...Efficient parts, adequate fuel pressure and proper tuning will allow you to push the envelope higher. Sure, is there a point where too much is just too much for the stock block, absolutely. That being said, up until our kit NO ONE was making these numbers on our psi levels, and to add, most people do not bring adequate fuel pressure to the equation. Lastly, we have one hell of a tuner who stops at nothing to make it perfect. It also helps that he tunes the Z34 almost every single day.
Remember, when we set out to do this we wanted to build not only the baddest kit around but it needed to be the most efficient. The results are a byproduct of the design.

And you've done that, and then some.
Now we're just getting curious where the limit is now. Everyone thought it was 450 ft/lbs or so. Now it's 100 over that. You've got guys knocking on the door of 700whp on a bone-stock motor. That's insane. I'll be the first one to run a victory lap if it holds together, and then I'll add fuel and turn up the boost. I'm really glad we've got people who are willing to gamble with their wallet that the motor can make big power. That's how we find out what it can really take.

In the end, it is there money, they are big boys and girls and they have to choose to be responsible. That being said, let's give people a little more credit once they have spent this kind of money to actually respect their investment/car and our time that has gone into it. So far, so good! That's the kind customer you will always want!

I'm giving them plenty of credit, but I know how addictive boost is.
