Yea, its been a good two months since my Z has seen its second home (SGP). With all my expenses lately (saving for wedding, christmas, taxes, house, 2 cars and a bike), I'm surprised I'm making it back this early. I need a freaking sponsor....Already dumped $15Gs in this car and she ain't even fast.
Don't worry, I'll be sure to say hi to Bluz....been eating alot of beans this week. lol

I hope so.....If I can hit 350whp...I'll be in heaven....that translates into 420 at the crank. Not bad for a lil V6. Don't even get me started on what it would be on the dope. I don't wanna get wood while at work. lol

Very good to know. I believe Rocks dropped his compression too in preparation for TT. Real good numbers for 8.5:1. Gives me a few ideas. lol. Thanks bro.

I'll let you know about the show. Nothing is set in stone just yet. Working on some ideas.

Take your DRs off and put some streets on there.....I'll go fill the bottle and we can run. Looser fills the winner's tank....deal?
I don't mind loosing to a faster car, but you miss a gear or don't hook up....you'll never hear the end of it. hahahahahahha oh wait...your car's in the shop...damn! lol
I have lower compression 9.1:1 but i have jwt .450" lift cams and headers, no cats and stuff like that. I didnt feel the need to port and polish the heads as i have not seen any real information on what the stock heads actually flow compared to ported ones. I think im going to buy a bare one and send it off to a company and get an unbiased opinion just so i will know.
If i need to make more power when i turbo it ill just blow on it harder.
Hopefully it will have a turbo with in 3 months, when i get some more money. Im doing a homemade turbo, i cant justify spending over 5k$ on the current kits when i can do it for 2k$ or less and make more power. I already have a big huge t04b turbo to play with, it cost me 100$. If i cant get enough power out of it ill send it off and have it modified for a few hundred $$ so i can get more power.
I really think if your going all out NA you should get at least some .476" lift cams, i think i have seen them that big before. 3.91 gears would be good too. I actually saw some 4.36 gears on a japanese site those would be nice. I think a mild port and polish with huge cams would give you good gains.

Can't use 3.91s as I am sprayin - traction is an issue with 150 shot now as it is, lol. Will be spraying a 2 stage setup on the Z...150 down low and 300 up top. Heads coming soon. Bottom end after that.

Hell Yea!!! Thanks Todd!!
Without knowing what inches of water the heads were flowed at that chart is useless. If it was higher than the standard 28" the numbers will be inflated. If those are 28" numbers I don't see these heads really needing port work.
