Any 370s running higher than 20psi?

Dayum you guys are harsh, he walks in asking if he can push 20psi into his engine and you start profiling him lol

<Off Topic> Wow... I'm sorry to yet again be off topic, but thanks for the explanation Godzilla. I love the fact that you gave us the whole scoop lol....Sounds to me that you could have a pretty successful life in construction but if it not what you what and also don't want to be a laborer your whole life then maybe school is the way to go. (And if it's something you really want to do, it sounds to me like your dad would help you out if you decided to move on to some technical school or college or whatever.) I'm 24 so I am not some smart guy that's got it all figured out but I definitely wouldn't be where I am or where I plan to be with out the education that I have. <Off Topic>

I have always kinda liked the STI's but just never tried to learn much about them. I can't believe what some of you guys are saying. Sounds like its pretty easy to tune one and get some good power.

Anyone have know what kind of money is involved in lowering the compression on the Z?

well the forged performance kit is about 3900. wisco sells 9.0-1 pistons as well if you want to go the cheaper route. can't imagine a set of pistons costing more than 1500 with rings.

Thanks for the answer... That isn't bad at all considering the cost of a turbo or S/C setup...

making 450whp on an STI is not as easy as we're making it sound. Its a lot more involved than just slapping on a turbo. Honestly, I feel its easier to make 450whp using a SC on a 370z than it is to get a big turbo setup on the STI. The STI block just inst made for that kind of power...

For me it was 3 months in the shop and just shy of $20K to get there correctly.

That's why I got the Evo vs. the Sti because 450whp is easily attainable on the Evo with out spending $20K. I'm not sure what you had done to the car to pay that much and have in the shop for three months? sounds kind of long and expensive.

Godzilla I hope you don't drive like you type because I am so freakin dizzy right now. I suggest you browse the forums for a while, without posting to get an idea how members here communicate and use proper punctuation etc.. and Google can be your best friend. for example if you want to learn more about specific cars, usually Wikipedia will be one of the first links and you can learn a great deal about that car, it's history, and even potential. Good luck, congrats on the Z, and take good care of her.
