Default NA Or Forced induction which one should we build?

Ok we now have a track model Z and on the way home i was thinking what would more people be interested in a 600rwhp turbo kit with built motor or a 320rwhp NA car. I'd love to here some coments on which way to go or what you guys would rather see.

As far as the what i think of my new car i think something has to be done to the car asap I am already board with the power the brakes and handling are ok and the LSD is the worst ive owned. so some things are going to be changed very quickly.

It's all about your preference and budget. Do your research and your bound to find all the answers to your questions.

Honestly someone needs to show how much power the VQ can make NA. There are plenty of turbo/supercharged cars, so we know how much power can be made that way. NA all the way!!!!

I agree I am curious about a good solid NA car, nothing crazy like a 4.3L kit, but cams headers etc etc.

4.3L stroked! High compression pistons with the stroker, some aggressive cams, and more! I'd really like to see how it turns out.

To add to my earlier post.. Of course if it were my own car I would go with a built motor + FI, but I think nearly EVERYONE on this forum would LOVE to see what a stroked NA Z33 is capable of.

4.3 Liter Stroker Kit, it'll be a blast.

I vote for NA! I was under the impression that after all the bolt-ons for NA, the end result is at most 305rwhp. Where do the extra ponies come from? Increased displacement? Independent throttle bodies? Need some enlightenment!

For Power-

4.3 Liter Stroker and Individual Throttle Bodies, 268 Duration Cams, 3.9 Final Drive, Crawford Package except get test pipes, then add the 3 pc pulley set, with a nice tuned reflashed ecu, and have fun.

For Suspension
JIC FLT-A2 Shocks, ZMI Titanium Brake Kit(saves 30 pounds per wheel), F/R Swaybars, 6061 Forged Wheels(14 pounds each), and some really sticky *** tires.

Thus becoming a 10 second N/A vehicle. (Nitrous may be needed)

Nitrous is a form of FI though.

well here is the plan for the NA car which is deffinatly leading as for now.

custom 11.8 pistons GSC Power Division
corrillo rods a-beam
custom bearings GSC Power Division
balanced crank
ported head with over sized valve and custom valve springs
custom cams GSC Power division
new intake manifold GSC power Division
reflash ecu
new headers
vibrant exhaust
injen intake.



looking for around 320rwhp NA maybe even a bottle for 450rwhp Id like to go 11s with the car pull close to a G and stop on a dime.

The plan for the forced induction motor will more than likly be in our 06 G35 NDRA Street tire car. and will make 1300+rwhp more to come later on this.

Greg
