I think 400whp would be perfect on this car. I worry about long term reliability as I tend to drive my car hard. I would also be doing the instal myself and I would rather not have to pull the motor.

there's never enough power in any car :bowrofl:

its a crap shoot with the car's engine. some have blown 100% stock and others are pushing 15psi/650whp on e85 and stock block with no issues.

You can do the TT install without pulling the motor. Not ideal but it can be done.

more or less the BP single kit is the easier version to install without dropping.

TT you can leave the block in but enjoy bloody knuckles lol

True. After doing it I'm pretty positive I could knock it out in one weekend

I can't talk too bad about Jar. He is too close to me and might hunt me down and beat my azz.
You nailed two of the three things mentioned. I will let you guess Which two.

I drive the crap out of mine at 418whp and love it. It's been on the car for 1 1/2 years and close to 20,000 miles now with a good chunk of that at the track. The only thing that's a real pain is keeping the car cool. The 370Z is hard to keep cool if you drive it hard.

That's one of the benefits to owning a G. Having the grill introduces a ton more air to keep things cool. I consistently read 15-20deg cooler coolant temp than comparably equipped Z's.

JWillis72 03-16-2015 07:05 PM

Agreed, the Z really needs more air.

personally I prefer the paddles for drag racing and keeping both hands on the wheel. slap stick is used in DD driving. in the vid the test driver was using the slap stick for the run.
