I'm usually in the low to mid 30 second range. I'm consistently one of the fastest street-tire cars there. Unfortunately in my class, street tires will only get you 4th or 5th place.

There are several post about LS swaps in the Z in the engine/FIforums. Henson super cars is the place you want to look. You can do it but it will cost ALOT, especialy on island.

the only problem with tuning mine, is that i am at 80K miles already. i don't want to spend the money to turbo and then the engine blow up. i think i would rather just swap. I put the same pics up in the 350z thread and asked for peoples opinions, and they are hating on my paint bad! they seem to like the kit, but hate the wheels and the paint. but oh well, everyone is entitled to their opinion

honestly at the cost to drop in a LS you could build the motor and twin turbo and get lots of safe power all day long. i boosted my car @ 60k miles and it ran fine an injector got stuck open and i ordered parts so i just went ahead and built the motor. you can pick up a built short block for about 5k. get the powerlab single 35r kit for 7k and your good to go. if you need a shop to install the motor just go to oahu automotive specialist. one of our guys dad owns the shop and he works there so hell give you a really good deal on labor.

You ****** need to bring your garage queens to the next G/Z cruise. I see some sick rides on here that I have yet to see in person. That maroon Z is particularly interesting.

Saw you today while you were going down the h2. I was in my company blue van next to you for a little while. Looks good, but would look better if the top was black. Anyway, what kinda rear is that? Love it and the brembo brakes
