How much power do you think is safe on stock internals?

I have seen quite a bit of DUMB stuff written on this forum, but this MIGHT just be the stupidest post of all. Yes, you are correct, someone puts a TT kit on their Z and DOES NOT drive it hard........facepalm!!!!

The answer for me (and I am sure many others) is that the TT kit is THE REASON to drive your car hard.

P.S. I was at an event YESTERDAY (05/28/11) that was a 100 mile cruise followed by 1/8 of a mile drag races. It was in Brainerd TN and was an official sanctioned event. The reason for the cruise portion was to try and elimanate trailer queens and keep this as a daily driver ONLY event (no big rear end gears etc.). I would have preferred the 1/4 but, I didnt make the rules.

My times ran from 7.2 to 7.9 and got proggressively better through the day. They DID NOT give us time slips but I did happen to get my slowest pass time slip. I will scan it later.

I came in 2nd overall in the import class and was beaten by a Supra putting 600 hp to the wheels. In the final heat, he ran a 7.5 to my 7.7. I think I might have been able to beat him but he was clearly a better and more expierienced driver than me (my first time at this event, HE WON IT last year as well).

Here are the times from the slip (yes my 60 ft was better but they still won):
car# R/T 60' time mph
9 (me) .000 1.729 7.948 86.90
22 .387 2.079 7.557 100.62

AGAIN....My slowest pass of the day (but the only actual slip I was given). I will scan it and post it later.
