OP how do you plan to drive you car ? there are plenty of people with well over 500 whp stock motor and ton's of miles. The reason I ask this is because a friend of mine had a TT 370z making 550whp that blew up. The car was drivin hard for 13k miles and shot a rod right out the side.

street driven year around, I would drive it hard occasionally, but I dont want to have the feeling of something busting when I accelerate full throttle.

If you have the funds to build it now and plan on doing it later down the road build it . You will save on the labor of having to drop the motor twice.The thing you have to keep is the full cost of everthing like clutch gauges fuel system etc.

I have all the supporting mods needed, all sitting in the closet Just need the tt kit itself and possibly internals. As for fuel I will be fine with the supplied kit, the basic fuel sytem if sufficient to 580 whp, near the max of the stage 2turbos.
