You are not joking. Those Z guys on other forums are a bunch of baby's. I've posted that I will be swapping out my VQ35 for a LSX and they are like, you're a jack *** what the hell are you think.......... Talking smack like, these LSX engines suck and all sorts of ****. Well you know what they say ignorance is bliss.

This weekend should be a good weekend as far as getting things together finally!:

(twin disc)


Slp balancer....its actually a REALLY nice piece..much nicer than I expected(cant really tell from the pics)


Nice rim/tire shot:


Engine is in..I think I have to take it out to get the driver side header in. It seems like I might have to put the header in first then the engine, then the bell housing then the transmission haha

Snyper, I was wondering if you could post some pics of the the Hinson Kit? looking to start mine here soon. I am going to talk to the guys there at Hinson about building me a 2in header. I was considering going with a twin turbo system but I don't want to go with a STS type setup.To many things up in the air right now.
