Still needs a lot of work; alignment, finishing the tuning, paint, etc... But here are some more pictures...

Car looks good. Break in tune #'s, what psi? You started this project some time ago, hope you got to enjoy your car while you were here.

Thanks! No "real" numbers. Think with a very conservative tune it made 428/390 on 8psi. Very flat power band. Pulls hard though. Can't wait to double the boost level. :driving:

HRE's fit your car perfectly

The car looks awesome Robert!

Thanks guys. Can't wait till Oct for the completed project and to run the Texas Mile.

Car looks great !!! Cant wait to hear the real numbers on it !! Good luck !

Thanks!

So registration for the Texas Mile opens in August. Can't wait! Already have the rules, regulations and, safety info printed to get the Z ready.

definitely my favorite 350, what an awesome build.

Thanks! Needs some TLC but it's getting there.

Have the opportunity to swap pumpkins with someone for a 3.3 final drive. Thoughts?

if you're looking for 600whp+ I would probably recommend it, 500 with a 3.5 1st and 2nd are still pretty useless

Well I'm going ahead with the 3.3 final drive. Power should be 550whp+ on pump. 600+ on race.

Just got off the phone with PowerFab. Don't see any problem with having the Z ready for pick-up when I'm home on July 27th. Other than the body work and maybe the rear-pumpkin swap I'll be driving her at full potential while home on R&R!!!

Looks like she is coming together.

Slowly but surely! You should come out to the Dyno Day! Love to see your car!

Update:

We are waiting for the intake piping to come back from PolyDyn. Once the piping comes back the pumpkin will be swapped out and tuning will be done. PowerFab is going to make a coolant overflow tank since a factory one will not work with a twin intake setup. Also the windsheild washer resevoir will have to be replaced/relocated as well since the JWT one does not work with doing a twin intake setup. Lastly, the gauges are almost done with the new wideband gauge.

Should be picking it up Friday!!!!

Bet your creaming your pants on just thinking of driving her

Among other things. LOL! :tup:

Nice Robert,

On race gas, what PSI are you going to aim for? I know you said 600hp on race, so just trying to compare. I made 600rwhp on pump, so just want to get an idea how much you have to run with the JWT setup. Hope you have a safe trip over the lake. Boring 16hr flight home, Nyquil is your friend haha.

Look forward to seeing the finished product.

Thanks! I'm home. On race gas think we discussed 16-20psi. 16-18 on pump.

Glad you made it back man.

Oh okay,I made right over 600rwhp on 17psi on a dynojet. So, seems pretty close. What kind of dyno will you be on?

Stopped by PowerFab. Having some minor fuel issues and hopefully Monday good to go. Currently making 463/419 with only 9psi! Can't wait for 16-18 psi!!!

Not too bad, hope you get all the kinks worked out. Right there with you on wanting to see what you make on 18psi.

Car was back on the dyno and having lean issues on the right bank. PowerFab checked the timing and it looks like it jumped a tooth. The primary tensioner and oil passage ways in the covers were all clean but the tensioner itself felt exceedingly spongy. So they are putting a new one in and re-timing the motor tomorrow.

looks great man.

Thanks!

Looks great man. The wheels set the car off well. Any final numbers yet?

Still working out some fuel issues. However took it out of the shop for a exterior detail and photo shoot. Below is a teaser...

Looks great man!! Definitely jealous on the wheels and overall look.

clean!

Thanks!

Received an update from PowerFab;

So hopefully some real number soon. Last known were; 463/419 @ 8psi on 93 pump.

Well... No more playing around. CJM Twin Walbro 255 Fuel Pumps have been ordered. I'm officially out of turbo and engine before fuel!
