what the 4.08s does for this car is unmatched by any one mod I have done, and it is not even close.. I was more into running a good 1/4 mile time... And I will run a mid 12 second pass by the end of this season, I can guarantee that..

My Z was a full second quicker in the 1/4 mile than 4 other Zs I went with last month... I am a track Newb for sure, but I can not see how that wouldn't translate into my Z being quicker around the track... From my understanding its driver that really matters the most... but throw you in my car with same coilovers and tires as a stock Z and I think my car would be a good bit faster...

the 4.08s gear length is not all that short, but it allows for MUCH better acceleration low in 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th gear.. It would be a learning curve on what gear to be in, but I guarantee if you did 4.08 fd or maybe better yet the 3.90s you would be thrilled with the outcome...

ANYWAY, back to WHite370s track day.... I think it was Aug 1 and 2 no? How did it go?!?!
