Stock Rods were used. I take it stock 370 rods. What are the specs for the pistons?

Engine has stock HR rods, they are longer than 3.7 rods. The pin location in the piston is different to allow use of the longer stroke with the HR rod. This results in a shorter and lighter piston, and longer rod/stroke ratio.

Here are some videos:

Love this so much. You've basically built a front-engine GT3 RS 3.8. Nearly identical horsepower, torque, redline, and weight.

Thanks guys. Appreciate it.

Here's a video from the car at Mosport doing a 1:22. Mosport is my home track and the goal has always been to eventually break into the teens. To put it in perspective 1:22's is as fast as the World Challenge GT cars used to go around Mosport when they were forced to run Toyo RA1 tires. My Z has a fair bit more grip, but less power and less aero right now.

The development will continue, I have ordered a MakTrak sequential gearbox so I will post some of the build progress over the winter as we move the engine down and back and test the power difference from straight cut gears. There might be a little bit of engine work thrown in the mix too... who knows. I would really like 420whp consistently out of the engine.

EDIT: Stupid youtube made the link name have a swear word in it... you're going to have to search for it on YouTube I'm afraid, or go here and click the video:

Awesome. Epic car. If you ever are looking to get rid of the car, make sure you let the my350z guys take a swing at ownership. Such a well sorted track toy.

Since the YT link has a cuss word in it, click the following link instead if you want to see his video:

Are those speeds correct?? 200+ on straights is crazy.

One more question on the rods, did you have the stock bolts upgraded to the ARP bolts?

This was going to be my question. If those speeds are correct cornering at 180+ is absolutely crazy awesome.

edit: I'm going to go with no they are not accurate. at one point it shows over 240+mph and that doesn't seem realistic. Maybe it should have been showing KPH?

Yes America, it is in KPH. I thought I had that fixed in the editing program but clearly I failed to check my video before posting it!

I did a write-up from the weekend on the website, you can check it out here:

Along with a little infographic that shows how much faster the car has become over the last 6 years or so:
