If I am reading this right, your endgame is not performance on the street, but a lesser opportunity to have more authority on track days.

I'd hardly recommend it. You know (probably better than me) how important driving is on a curvy track to better times. (I am ASSuming roundy-round.)

If you want daily authority on the road, in excess, then yes, it's worth the trouble and the cost and the lessened reliability. (Every HP over stock lessens reliablity.) This curve gets steep up around 500whp.

If you want a dead stock GTR, it will beat the pants off of a modded Z. A bit more money, but then you are in the same predicament: I want even more...

It never ends. But we spend money and modify to create something different.

Reliablity is a mandatory speedlimit sign at the intersection of passion and performance. Who's looking?
