i dont disagree with you one bit about it helping at the drag strip since you only go straight, i am just saying it wont help much at the track as you will make a lot more 4th gear shifts at the glen. i am not saying mods dont help, some just dont help as much as you think. also its fine if you are running for yourself, but many places have limits on what you can touch within your class, just a heads up. if you want to test, put some 285 30 18 on your car, you will have a rough idea as to what the gear change would feel like

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?!?!
