I guess we'll just have to see what this setup is going to put out soon enough, as there are no examples of it yet.

Adam,

Very sharp. I have enjoyed reading the whole thread. Very well done. I do have a body question. What Sides an Rear body kit is that?

Thanks,

Edit,

Well after much digging I see that the Rear is a Veilside Version I.

yep - it's not loud at any rpm honestly - at cruise it's silent, zero drone, and even wot it's louder than stock, but definitely not loud...I couldn't drive it if it were loud

Hey there..Nice build, No doubt it took tons of time and dedication to finish. I have a question though...Either I read the numbers wrong or you only gained 35hp with this build? I am fairly new to the Z but with all the work done to the motor and drivetrain , you think you would see bigger gains. No doubt that the acceleration is redic, but did you plan on only getting a 35hp gain? Just seems a little low for the money and work. But regardless nice work man, beautiful car.

the car went from 225 whp as a baseline when stock, to 320 whp - that's a gain of nearly 100 whp

Have you tracked it yet or hit a quarter mile? I'm sorry if this was asked earlier, but I forget if you've ever mentioned it, and it's not in your OP.

True, ok I guess some updates have happened in the thread that I was just not tracking. I was going off of the original post where you said you went from 268 whp to the dyno chart at 304. Anyways, again nice build...and please don't think I was being demeaning..I just wanted to know.

nope, have not done either since the build. I've never 1/4 mile'd this car since I bought it, as drag just is not my thing and there are no tracks remotely near me. As for doing track days, I had done quite a bit before the build, but have not had any time to do one since. Plus, we have a road race car here (325 is), so I'd rather wreck that than this
