The guy that bought it from me found the same thing out, and he's swapping out the turbo for something much smaller.

wow thats crazy! my only real hopes for this car is be in the 11's NA

You should be able to get high 11's N/A now without any VVEL changes.

Look at Jnaut... if he runs a drag slick he'll be running 11.8-11.9. That's probably going to be the best an N/A 370 can do.

Just want it to be a good all around DD for now. With a good tire and a tune I should be high 11s, so that'd be pretty nice for a mostly stock car.

When I pick up another car I might SC this one.

I'm like 1 second away from that stock, but a second is a long time at the drag strip. Full bolt ons, drag radial, 4.08 gears, pulleys, better torque converter, and a tune should put me there I think. I will probably end up doing all of those except the gears and drag radial. Hopefully that will get me mid to low 12's with good weather + track conditions.

you gotta do gears man! the funnest most rewarding MOD hands down

300rwhp just isnt enough anymore

last i checked, the turbo kits on the 370z are already capable of making the engine put out more power than the engine can even handle with a stock block.

'cracking' VVEL isn't going to be like getting a new ECU in a turbo car. its not gonna be like 'bam 30-50+whp'

our cars are tuned pretty well from the factory and already eek out most of the power that the motor has to give.


oh yea and:
