All I care about is a running engine (built or not, I don't give a damn) that runs as close as I can get to 700 RWHP WITH an air filter (current KN conical air filter or topgunz upgraded air filter, whatever one, doesn't matter to me).

All I ask for is one thing:
(1) Safely running engine that won't blow on me no matter how hard I push the thing with my current FI set up at 13 psi with e85 as as daily driver
(2) That the above /said/ engine will hold safely 600 - 700 RWHP as an end goal without breaking.

I will properly maintain the engine doing frequent oil changes, raise the damn car so I stop scraping and putting my bottom parts of the car in danger, and I will even keep the engine bay clean.

Money is not a factor for me as long as I know I can have a safe running fast car with the above specs (to me, it's fast). I will happily pay off my bills for an entire year or even 1.5 years if it takes that long if I am able to have the 2 things I ask for.
Our stock engine is sturdy. With 93-above octane, proper tuning, and regular maintenance, you should be safe for the boost your having.

I am really happy to hear that honestly. I mean I've seen plenty of stock engines hold up that are dailies that run 600 - 700 rwhp safely. And even driven hard more often than not too.

Especially that 831rwhp stock engine..lol. Gives me tons of hope.

I'll be using e85, having proper tuning, and I will definitely have oil changes every 3k miles or less for regular maintenance up keep. So it sounds like after the engines in by wed of next week (before new years is adels goal) I should be good to go lol.

Let's hope my luck doesnt get worse

If your going to dd your Z, I'd not suggest going overboard (pushing stock motor beyond 650whp) no matter what (for longevity sake). Just my two cents.

Likely I wont ever be above 650rwhp. I am going to be running an air filter all the time rather than a turbo guard so my psi will be capped at 13.

Your boost is going to be capped because you're running flex fuel and won't be able to add timing on 91 octane like if you were running e85 full time. Hence another good reason for the wastegate and ebc.

And I'd not feel comfortable with having over 400 ft-lbs wtq on stock auto. Again, better safe than sorry. Also my two cents.

Haha it's the journey that counts. I definitely am enjoying it. Way way way better than me sitting in my room playing games all day and never getting out of the house xD

I much prefer the adventure I've been going through!

Cheers

To me, it's odd how you dismiss some people's advice so quickly and seem to take other's as gospel. But to always be looking forward and positive about things is something you should be commended for. Especially at such a young age. GL to you and your Z

If you are talking about Spooler. He just lifted a head yesterday at 17 lbs of boost. So now his engine will be coming back apart. That's on a built block.
