My built TT 370z is getting tuned today... What power can I expect?

Good to know

Yeah, for now just want the car tuned to a safe level. I'll probably get used to it in a month or so and want to push for more power. 750whp on pump was the original goal, hoping to hit that with a full fuel system on 92 octane.

No way you're reachign 750 on pump. The way it sounds. You need to do some major research before trying to reach your power goals. I don't understand why you want to push the build to it limits. Limits= kaboom either your motor or something else, unless you have endless pockets, then hell yeah. Instead of wasting your money on that manifold you should of invested in a return fuel system, maybe some ID 1700 injectors, maybe a twin pump set up, lsd or clutch ( hoping you already have those upgrades) or add a stronger oil pump or add a baffled oil pan.

So, longer story my cars been at this shop for 13 months after a lot of ups and downs. The money aspect isn't the problem, I'd just like to have my car back at this point and not wait another however many months. Fuel system upgraded will happen sooner than later.

Clutch was upgraded to one rated for > 800wtq, that shouldn't be a problem. Nismo oil pump used, lsd wasn't upgrade - I've never heard of them being an issue. The car is a nismo so idk if it has a better lsd / better axles than the other models.

Lsd needs to be upgraded if you quote on quote want to make 700whp, or you will learn the hard way when the car sends you onto on coming traffic or a ditch.

“The car is a nismo so idk if it has a better lsd / better axles than the other models” that is what I was referring to about doing some research, my friend you are going down a very expensive road that isn’t for the good.

You got the same axles as everybody else. As for the VLSD. It's junk. When they get hot. It's the same as an open diff. One wheel peeler.
