Mad props for sharing pics, some street fun, dyno vids AND track vids. LOL @ the almost lost it though, get used to that $hit, that little sweep out is nothing man.

What exactly were the 1/4 times? 60ft, 1/4 ET and MPH?

How reliable are those Coyote motors at those power levels?

Good stuff, lol at that gay a$$ Civic at the end, I don't care if that thing runs 10's, it sounds like Pedro's weed-wacker. BTW- nice 600RR, lean it over more and get those chicken strips off.

Thanks Alberto, I don't remember the times for anything as this was recorded back in August. I've been trying to find my slips so I can get the numbers... I don't have a track around my area so its the backroads for me until the season starts!

As far as power holding, I've read about 2 engines letting go at 650-700whp. I wont be seeing the those numbers until I upgrade to this http://www.buyfordracing.com/5-0l-do...lly-aspirated/ for safety of course.

Man I used to be all over the bike until I moved to where I am now and seen how these people drive. Like driving the Indi 500 but I'am about to move so the strips will be gone!

Thanks guys. The car has ran like champ with this blower on for the past 10k mile. The install is pretty easy but time comsuming as most are and you will hear me say in other build threads that it's better to build it yourself so you can fix it if something breaks.

Words of wisdom in the F.I. world for those who seek it. I highly recommend that if you go F.I. have a second car! I still had to run out and get extra tools I needed when this was torn apart. You do not have to be a (professional) to install superchargers or turbos neither as I did mine with tools from Walmart. Just read the instructions thats provided with the kits since thats what most shops do anyway.

I'am sure some have wondered why not just turbo/sc the 350... I thought about that for a little bit, but after learning from others mistakes and seeing how this car performs with F.I. I decided it would not be worth it. Now I love my 350z but it's staying stock for me. $ for $ it will never be as beasty as the 5.0. Some might argue that a Z is more rare but its not... Just as common as mustangs. I actually like a common car though since that means parts are way cheaper .

I plan to keep this thread updated with whatever new mods come along though. If anyone is in the NW part of Florida and wants a run shoot me a message and I'll show you what some V8 power can do haha. Plus it would make good footage for my next video!

Default I believed you

Now that I'm reading more, & just watched & timed you video runs, it looked to me like they were 13 second runs.

The runs in the video were just the best visual ones that made the edit... Unless you wanted to look at the wall or something haha. We had about 12 runs that night since not a lot of cars were racing. I know I had 12.1 and pretty sure I had faster then that. That's why I said high 11's - low 12's.

Very impressed with everything! Great video, I thought it was an excellent combo of music, engine sounds with no BS and straight to the fun stuff!
