yea i was at the dyno maybe 2.5 weeks ago with and a DD 350z was getting tuned, boosted stock motor, too bad i didnt stick around to see how much it made

It's a freaking beautiful day, too. If you're not swamped with work, or not too busy looking for work (or not busy not looking for work), you should get out and enjoy it. Days like this are rare. At least in Upstate NY they are.
Seabreeze? Or Six Flags Darien Lake?

Reeeeeeeeeeally close to getting the GoPro Hero 2 Motorsports edition to start shooting some BA vids on mountain roads and such. It has a 11mp cabable still shot camera too which is nice, the only thing holding me back is the fact it has no zoom. It is simply 170d wide-angle lens. It also has a really BA mic and the option to put on an external 3.5mm professional style mic which would be great to capture the exhaust. Would look similar to an Imax shot. Whacha'll think? this or a camera?

Went on this ride called the Whirlwind Rollercoaster. Each car holds four people back-2-back, and spins as it goes around the track. Yikes!

A built motor even with a mild build is a good idea. However I personally did not see the point of it. Reason being is if I blow a stock vq35, I can get another one very easily and just swap it in. If I blow a vq35 that was built, well there goes money down the drain. And there have been plenty of people on my350z that have blown built vq35 motors.

A built motor sounds like a great idea if you are after power and dyno numbers. But having a street car with 400whp is plenty enough to have fun and still be plenty quick.
I guess my though process was this:

-- current engine has weak rear cylinder compression. Knowing these motors likely bad rings. Leakdown confirms suspicions.

-- Now have in my head that this engine will likely need rebuild/replace at some point in the car's life. As I plan to hold onto this car for a good time to come. Hence the money being invested.

-- Will be Supercharging the car

-- So the question becomes, boost this one and when it is no good, be out of a car, pay for a new engine ($1000-1500 minimum, maybe more becuase I'll prolly be in a rush to get it in), and still only have a used engine being boosted

-- Ding ding buy another engine and build it/buy a built one and swap it in when the time comes.



So I don't know. Maybe I should just stop thinking engine for now and get the supercharger stuff first? Then see how it plays out on the car and if it's rough I'll start looking for an engine?

I just doubt I'll ever find a deal like this again. Also, it seems my co-worker will be doing Top fuel dragsters in Flordia very soon, and could probably pick this engien up for me. Hence, price would only be around $1900.... maybe $2100 once I pay a few bucks around to say thank yous.
