With all due respect, you post up a title like "GTM Performance Engineering VQ45VHR-Our Journey to The 1000 HP and Beyond"... Provide est HP#'s to Mags, and display the vehicle at shows with massive HP claims and innovative designs that are not functional--You are asking for trouble if you can't back up the #'s.. Just a fact of life on forums.

FYI- a few of the shops on my350Z have already broken the 1000whp mark, with stock displacement.... so you shouldn't expect the same "acceptance" of claimed HP #'s, that you see on this forum.. Some very informative posts on that site, much more so than here.

From the outside looking in--Not much variety here when it comes to shop builds.. I see mostly GTM posts.. its almost as if no other options even exist...
When the shops who have already eclipsed the 4digit HP mark with the z33 (GTM is not one of them), start to make a presence here.. Then you will start to get an honest picture of which shops are capable, and which are not..
--Seeing a 350z run low 9's with stock displacement, ST setup and stock rear end is an indicator of what a shop is capable of... especially after repeated abuse at the track...

Not trying to be the antagonist.. Just been around the Z & import scene long enough to know that shops like to make claims in order to sell products.. While others, break barriers to display there ability...
Your build is very impressive.. But you should have used more "tact" when chest pumping for GTM..

*no malice intended..*
