When I went to Sebastian, I did not ask to go above and beyond than what was already achieved. I specifically asked to stay within the numbers that were previously obtained by previous customers of F.I. and SZ.

Back in August, when the install was done, Seb was tuning my car on e85, and it bent two rods. How that happened, I have no idea. I guess it was bad luck. It broke at 588 hp and 581 tq.

Nothing I can do about that, except replace the parts. Seb helped me out and decided to do an upgrade to the engine. CP pistons at 11:1, Carillo Rods, and Juke head bolts.

After several months, the vehicle was up and running thanks to Seb. The final numbers on 13 psi was 568 hp 538 tq.

I am also running the SS Zele exhaust, which has a pretty restrictive design (Ill upload a pic of the exhaust if you guys are interested). Still debating if I want to go to Tony to get a custom exhaust for my Zele rear bumper. I'm in love with the way it sounds currently. Definitely does not sound like your typical boosted Z.

As for the 1500 mile break in period. I am just following the directions of Seb. He wanted to go through at least two oil changes using conventional oil before switching to a synthetic at 1500 miles.

Once the break in procedure is in place, and I get better tires, I'll give a more in depth review in the future.
