Maybe some drag radials on some wide azz wheels along with a good driver will result in better times. Though there's only one person on here determined to make their 370Z a drag racing car and GT-R's are no where near having any nightmares yet

If I'm wrong I can only blame my newfound experience with heavenly 3.31 gears and only having to shift twice down the quarter, however 1st is really the only gear I'm thankful for. |

I love how the mentality is on this forum now-a-days. If you give any car that isn't a Z props, you're hating on the Z.
Jesus. This is awesome. The BRZ/FRS is a welcome addition to the sports car market in the US, and I'm really glad they're getting heavily modded so early on in their lifetime.

When bore and stroke change, and the entire block and heads are different can you really say they are that much alike and the years of work and experience on the previous engines are all that significant? Other then fitment...there is a lot of greenfield here methinks. - b |

Pretty sure my car with 8psi And 4.09 rear end would hang with that BRZ. 20 PSI on stock block. Watch for BRZ engine rebuild thread soon!
