thanks induetime! So I talked with Sam last night and the car will not be running before SEMA... SAM and team have been working hard to improve on the GTR intake manifold design!!!!!!! when he told me my jaw dropped! From our conversation last night they should be finishing up the mods this week and will be getting the intake ready for CAD and 3D scanning when I get back from SEMA. A week or so after that I will have the new intake and then testing begins.

My only wish is to have my car back before christmas *fingers crossed*

Thats great news Mike. I am sure you will have it back before then. I am sure if you ask Sam he will make it happen. Now I got a question for you well questions. Isn't the intake manifold on the stock Z the main reason why we cant go over 12 psi. If so is sam going to make one like yours to start marketing? I know thats more of a Sam question but I know you guys talk alot more then me and him. Last, Sam tore apart your engine, what do the internals look like, meaning what are they made out of, meaning are they forged. Just wondering if this car can handle more then 12 psi, or can we use 12 psi more often then a few times. personally I only use 12 psi when I know I am going up against a tough car. In other words I get scared when I turn the boost that High because I am afraid I am going to blow the engine.
Thanks MIke

Hey Toner buddy!

Ok, my intake on the car right now is the prototype for a new intake going to be made

I cant go into much detail because our conversation was very brief on the subject.

Sam did not tear apart my engine however, he did have a spare 4.5L stroker short block laying around and we made all of the mods to that motor. from my understanding the motor can handle the stress levels that of a car putting out 12 psi. However, your longevity may be at risk with that motor. from my understanding the internals in our motor are slightly beefier if not the same as the 3.5HR motors. From their history they are fine up to 12psi...

hope that helps
