I Have the southbend stage 4 extream and it's pretty good. Its been holding over 700ftlbs on my 350z for over 10k miles. Drives really nice also. I never looked to see if they offer a clutch for the 370z but I bet they do. The best part is the clutch is only 600$ flywheel was like 3-400.

I agree with you on the ignorant f@ck but I really don't want this thread shut down due to some tool who has actually spent an exuberant of money for his alter ego.. Would love to see your build and specs though. The K1 rods are very good rods in my opinion too..

I totally agree Cosmo which it's cool I just don't understand how people can be so shallow minded. If there's anything I hate the most about the upper echelon of the Z community it's that it ALWAYS feels like a huge d!ck measuring contest. No one is genuinely proud for new competition.
It's all in my build journal buddy! I haven't updated in a longggg time because it felt like this forum was getting kinda dead, but I think I'll wrap up the thread as well as attaching dyno sheets/close out comments etc after the final tune to gas out this turbo kit the second week of June.

Just wanted to post up some pics of my built motor from bobby. Upon delivery I had it shipped back. This kind of work is acceptable to him. I can't imagine what the bottom end looked like...

That's flat nasty. I wouldn't be sure about them touching anything if they didn't have enough pride to at least clean up the stuff you can see.

Bobby is worthless. I've said for years I'd just soon set fire to my car then let that ******* touch it.

Can't wait to bust past 800whp on the stock plenum. lol Can't help but to see these other intakes coming out with No r&d but ready to sell. Lets ask ourselves would they really post up losses considering you got a product for free. lol To this day nothing but bs excuses and no hard numbers. INCREDIBLE>>>

Exactly. No testing, but we'll happily take your money.

Well, sometimes it all works out and early adopters get rewarded. Personally I wouldn't buy so much as a pack of gum before I see real world feedback, but it's not a given that it won't work out. I just don't have that much faith in the aftermarket.

I think new products should Always have independent reviews from people who actually paid for the products. It keep things honest...

This time around my goal is to reach around 800whp because I'm tired of my car being down. Not's like that's a safe number or anything and knowing I could shoot for more. Plus not having e85 anywhere close to where I live kinda hinders things as well. I will be selling my clutch and flywheel soon that is rated at 650tq that never slipped and has only a few thousand miles on it if anyone's interested in upgrading.
