^ RT doesn't matter unless you're competing. 1/8 mile tracks cost about the same as the 1/4 mile tracks, so he might as well practice rowing through the gears. Keep in mind that this is OP's first MT and he's an inexperienced drag racer. Plus, I don't think he put in the LS to do pulls under 100 mph.

I think he's getting ready to go race this weekend! I'm excited to see the outcome. We don't have that many LS swaps to begin with (although it certainly increased) and only 1 of the completed LS swaps have actually done something with their vehicle other than let it sit to be stared at. This should be good, regardless.

I should be going back to the track next week as well if the weather holds out. I've made some adjustments, removed more weight and bought better tires. Car is under 2,800 lbs now

^ Ha, I forgot about your times, so there'll be 3 LS swapped Zs. Keep us updated on the strip numbers and maybe post vids, too (both of you guys), please.

Sorry fellas, I've been sick the last few days, and today wasnt any better so I called off the track for today. I will be going next friday for sure. I'll be picking up some ET Streets from 3hree5ive0ero b4 then. I'm gonna weigh my car at the Pilot tomorrow. I think it's around 3,000, maybe 2,9xx? We'll see. I have a T56 transmission, so I'll definately need a lot practice. Got get it down perfect to keep up with Quamens TH400

No, sorry. I've been busy with the family. We've all been getting over being sick and just trying to chill. I'll try and do it within the next few days. I have a squeeky idler pully and loose wheel bearing and and I dont wanna drive the car like that at the track next Friday, so that's getting done hopefully within the next few days.

Otherwise the car runs great and I got the Race oil put in yesterday after all the break-in. I should be ready to roll this comming Friday for sure.

Also, there's a video of my car of it's first start that Chris Baily is gonna post up in this thread. He's the shop owner of Baily's Hyperformance. Give him a day or two or maybe tonight, Idk. Go to Youtube and type in 570z, and it's one of those videos.

I'll get a parts list posted tomorrow.

-Chris

That startup was sick... so much like stock!! Just ho-hum... I turn the key and it starts right up

BH, do you or OP have a link for the cam and heads you are using? I just want as muck info as possible to compare to when (if) I do some bolt ons for more power.

Lastly, those are the smallest 3" pipes I have ever seen. Mine are 3" and look huge compared to that.

Nice build, same engine im thinking of putting into my 240z. ^^ agree with Cass, is that OD 3" or ID 3" they do look small but maybe its just the angle of the camera.

Damn that's awesome.

There's only ~5-6 LS completely swapped Z's?
I feel like i've seen a lot more build threads for there to be just 5.
