5 Z's. Wow. I bet Yancy's car will be there. Anybody that we know?

 

chadi
i saw you on 75 today
i was rolling my 94 grand prix so i didnt even bother trying to get your attention HAHHA. Car is looking good as always

 

yeah i think its me, yancy, trent, derek, and 1 other s/c, not sure who.

 

To me, it's really a decision about cost effectiveness and knowing that there will be no return on my substantial investment that needs to me made to make the car a high hp reliable car.

(ie.) - in my opinion, to get a high hp reliable car with over 600 rwhp, you'd need sleeves, forged pistons, forged rods, cams, head & main stud kit, upraded intake manifold, probably a 3 inch exhaust, 650 cc or higher injectors, return fuel system, very strong clutch that's streetable such as a 2 or 3 carbon disc ATS, level 5 half axles, an upgraded LSD such as the carbon LSD from ATS, an upgraded radiator and possibly oil cooler, and a UTEC or a stand alone for optimum control.

The investment is large and I think traction will be a major issue with all this power. I have traction issues already and only have 446 or so rwhp and something like 424 rwtq. I can't imagine adding 200 more of each and trying to control it. Plus, I don't know about you, but the estimate I got was sorta outrageous. I may wait for the GTR? Who knows.

In any event, good luck on your build. Hopefully, they are using a torque plate in the process? I read stories where a torque plate wasn't used and there is major noise from piston slap in the cylinders. Sharif, posted something about this several months ago, as did Phunk I beleive. I figured your engine build would be completed by now. Hasn't it been 2 1/2 weeks already?

 

I think you're right. It's probably that blue convert Z that has the polished Stillen SC on it with AP brakes, Stillen body kit, lambo doors, and fiberglass everywhere. That Z sure is pretty (other than the chrome wheels which look cheap to me).

 

actucally Its a Black 350z supercharged was done at Autowerks..
I understand where your coming from, as for traction I am going wit use 315 size tires, off course they are using a torque plate. I am going with 750cc injectors so no need for fuel return injectors should be at 60-70% duty cycle. Actually they are building my engine after the show because they had no time , Also Johns engine should be there pretty soon also.

 

Ok, I think you will find that you are going to need a return style fuel system with rising rate fuel pressure regulator for consistent fuel delivery. PM sharif to see what he thinks. It never hurts to get 2nd opinions from valuable sources on things like this. John is getting an engine build too? He lives over by me right and has the silverstone z that is currently NA?

 

lol, ya that was me.

BUT, my car is not looking good. it hasnt been washed in 3 months and it looks like a dump on the inside. in time...

 

Well, I am very close to being at Zdayz for Saturday and Sunday. I have to be in Sparta, TN on Friday and Monday for an Audit at one of our plants. I will know more within a couple of weeks. I will most likely have to stay in Bryson City becasue Fontana will be booked by then. Anyone beside Zless going? If so do you have room? for Friday night through Saturday night.

 

Sorry guys I will not be able to make it, I just caught the damn flu wenesday night, I have a constant temp of 104. I feel like ****.

Best regards from my Z and I

 

Yea my motor is at darton right now finishing up the sleeve work. After that its time to put the forged internals in. Will be N/A for a while though just using a big shot of Nitrous.

 

Is anyone going to Autorama besides the people entered? I think I plan to go around noon on Saturday if anyone wants to me up there.

 

I retract my previous, I was able to attened Autorama.... WHAT A BLAST great cars and was very fun we took alot of pictures will post soon, make sure to come and check out our booth Tuning Factory where you will see Shawn's, Derek's, and My Z!!!!!

 

I was there. Saw all four Zs and all were very nice. Should of put my Z in the show. Oh well maybe next year. Yancy, clean your plenum, it looked dirty and when I was standing there this guy was commenting on the yellow stuff in the plenum bolt. I wanted to say something back but couldn't come up with a good come back to defend it. Sorry, I tried.
