I don't remember what the HP difference was but I do remember there was a difference. If I remember correctly it was around 7 hp but I really don't remember so don't quote me on that number.

Edit: Nevermind - I saw you retuned for it... :-)

wow nice to see your all the way up to 316 rwhp. I would love to drive this car man. I don't think everyone can appreciate what this car must feel like. When are you gonna log some quarter mile times? After that its time to ship her to germany and lap the nurburgring

However, I give mad props to all the guys who broke new ground with the vq35 to achieve 300+ hp N/A.

I'd rather do that if I had the option. Hell, I'd consider taking out a loan to get that done.

Yea a lot of parts on these builds can be left off. A good n/a build with the fat trimmed off can be a relatively affordable endeavor. Assuming of course engine removal/disassembly/assembly can be done by the owner him/herself.

For me it was definitely worth it. I love the feel of NA power and I love to see peoples expressions when they find out I'm all motor. Its awesome!!!!!

Nismology - You are probably right, however not all of us have the savvy to do our own work. My original goal for my Z was the same as Rednezz, I wanted an N/A beast and was willing to work overseas for as long as it took to make it happen. This means I asked quite a few people (this was nearly two years ago however) how to make this happen. I got several estimations between 10-15k, with the greatest variable being labor.
Once again, hats off to ya. I don't think I'll go FI either; as I'd prefer to stay N/A also. If only the gains didn't start tapering off as mentioned earlier.
