Nice OP.

Don't forget that road quality goes hand in hand with how big your stones are. Here in PA (Voted worst roads in the country several times by truckers) there are so many dips and expansion cracks its hard to feel very safe past 150~160mph

nice... I would have expected more... I have gone 256 Km/h for 15 minutes in a row on the autobahn with everything stock on the car..

I would be more than glad to reach the 300 km/h mark with F/I tough

Is that your Z? You bought it built right? I thought I remember seeing this years ago right after the owner of the Z sold it for that Vette.

I've owned this Z since new brosef.

It was NA with a 3.9 and then TN kit which I swapped for a JWT. Now I am rocking a BP single after the right bank turbo went out. This vid is probably 18 mos old since the Z has been down, and I have been mostly just riding my bikes and justifying dumping more obscene money into a car.

Fuel delivery would be my main concern. If you are using a stock swirl tank with a Walbro, the Walbro will suck it dry if you stay on it for a long time. That happened to me. That's why I have an external swirl tank.
