How many more dayz till spring?

 

too many

 

Haha... You know what my answer is..... build your car up in the winter so at least its doing somthing and then when spring hits the rush is even greater!!!!!!!!!

 

what would you guys recommend. 8.5 Compression Ratio or 9.5 ? or somewhere inbetween ?

 

9.5 compression would be more efficent, with 8.5 you are playing with trouble basically.... is this gonna be your every day driver? What else do you plan to do with it?

 

So far here is what I have
(not installed)
Darton MID sleeve kit
Pauter Rods
Arias 9.5 Pistons
ECU Wire Harness
Crank Angle Sensor

(installed)
Test Pipes
Samco Hose kit
Nitrous NX kit (debating removing it)

What I want in the end is to run 2 map settings one at around 400 to the wheels and one around 650 to the wheels. I want this to be a daily driver which will last at least 100k. All I am doing right now is building the bottom end, the turbos wont be coming for a LONG time. This alone is costing me $$$$$. I hear that 9.5 is good because you dont have to run as much boost to get the same power but detonation will be an issue. I've talked with the guys from performance motorsport ( the guys with the 1800+) hp z drag car and they said 9.5 is fine. However my issues are longevity, detonation, and fuel type. I would like to keep it on 94 octane.

 

oh and i have the ARP kits on the way soon
And I just bought the complete engine gasket kit for the Z

 

Go with the 9.5 ratio... I am also talking to performance motorsports and the tunning factory who will be doing my planned build up... What kind of engine management are you going to use... UTEC, HKS F-CON PRO???

 

who is doing your buildup ?

call me if you get a chance You have PM with my cell number

 

All I wanted for Christmas was a bit a sun 80 degrees and a few hundred miles of dry road. I guess I will have to wait for summer to get it.

 

64 more days till my car comes out of storage

 

Doesnt it make you sad Misha

I hope winter doesnt last as long as what they are saying...

 

i drive in the winter and i cant wait for the summer. cant do much in this weather.

 

Anyone have a set of Rear tires with more the 50% tread laying around? My lease is up and I am thinking of turning the Z back in.

 

Is any one still interested in putting the Metro Detroit Z name on Zdayz 2006 if so we need to act fast.

 

I ordered a 3.9 final drive yesterday should help me jump off the line, Doug Stewart says they are good much faster starts, but a bear to install.

 

Jason, why are you selling? who's gonna go to milan with me man? lol.

 

Lease is up and my partner screwed me in my business. I needed something a little more practical. So I just leased a MINIVAN!! YIKES I would join you at milan but I just don't think 16 second 1/4 miles are cool. Maybe I will pick up a Skyline when they come out and we can go then . The Z was fun for the last 3 years I just can't afford to keep it and another car.

 

I want to know who has the ghost racing stripes?

Zless????

 

But of course I have the ghosts on the Z. A bit darker silver flake and 9 inch wide double.
