Figured I'd help PowerFab Auto & Import Parts Pro, both in Houston, Tx, out and share (whore) my engine build they are doing for me. Little background for those that don't know... Oct '05 traded in my '03 Evo 8 for my current '03 350Z Touring 6sp. April '08 added the JWT 700BB (GT28RS) Twin Turbo kit among other mods. About a year after that regretted not building the block and talked about doing it for years! 31-Dec-11 It was loaded up and towed to PowerFab where an Import Parts Pro Stage 3 long block and other mods is being installed. Should net around 550-575whp+ on pump. See below...
