Were running 2 thousenths on the bearings. We built the car to be a dependable and very fast streetable car that she could take to the strip, or the road course and drive to work if she wanted to. Turbo spools plenty fast. I just had my crank guy balance the crank and we kept the stock flywheel so she would still have plenty of rotating mass for the drag strip.

As for the plenum, it was just thrown on there to get running while we waited on parts. I still have cams and plenty of other things to go on the car sitting in the garage, just no time at the moment. I even have a brand new in the box Z32 trans for the swap. We even resorted to throwing on an SSautochrome manifold and I fabbed up a quicky downpipe to get us running while we waited on Peak boost stuff.

We also just threw some 52lbs injectors to get going for the time being, havent yet decided if were going to go larger injectors with race gas for high hp numbers or run a meth setup like I normally do for daily drivers.
