Talking Got the Z Running (Finally)
Well, we finally got my Z back up and running. The 4.2L Stroker kit took a HELL of a lot more time then expected, not to mention the cost kept creeping up on me every month...

Anyway, on 93 pumpgas we are running 12psi via wastgates and 549whp on a Dyno Dynamics.
The expectation is to add a water meth kit, and run 2 more maps.. 18psi for 93 w/meth and 24psi for C18 w/meth and intercooler sprayer. Once we get that done, we may take the 12 PSI map and tune it for 89 octane (crappy midwest gas!!) for the Rally.

Anyway here is a quick little dyno run from Forged Performance last weekend:


The Car should be at HIN in Dulles this weekend and then back to the shop in a few weeks to finish up the extra maps.

Little 3 honk roll racing on the dyno?

Congrats I'm sure you're excited. I know I'm jealous, I'm still not running. Car sounds good, powerband sounds very smooth. Any pics of the chart?

Just so y'all know... I had nothing to do with the video.. One of the guys at the shop did it.

The graphics will come off as soon as I can afford to repaint the whole car and get thedamn front/rear bumpers fixed. I hate fiberglass. Damn thing is starting to look really ratty.

Well, to avoid having to tear everything out of the car for a full repaint.. I will probably just have it masked and do a different shade of Silver with with some more perlesence and a couple extra clear coats..

I picked up 3 more trophies at HIN in Philly, including Best Nissan (Mild) and 3rd place overall (Mild).
Had some pretty annoying problems getting out of the city (I now need a new front & rear bumper... ) and It looks like my throttle body is going, but otherwise she is running pretty good.

Will be down at Tail of the Dragon this coming weekend and then she goes back to the shop for the Meth kit and a few other clean up mods since the rebuilt engine. I am hoping to get the damn FireSupression kit installed and will be looking at a harnessbar and removable cage for the Salt Flats.. Still not sure if that will work out like I want it to, but we shall see.

Hope to see everyone soon folks.

You know, eventually you are going to run out of stuff to break. I can see it for aka 08, "Hey guys so im taking my car to the truck to load it up for the starting line and my pedals fell off!" JKJK Wish I could have made it to HIN but i was working
