I think the engine is pretty limited even with FI, but that's a discussion for another day. :stirthepot:

Another 20 or so horses through the midrange would be fantastic for the trackability of the Z, especially if the powerband was smooth-- which it should be if they get all the tuning figured out.
I definitely agree, but it is what it is. At least FI will put you in the 450whp range which is kind of the "sweet spot" for a street-driven 3100-3300lb car.

But you're right... the 3.7 is very limited unless you go FI. In the end it's the cheapest and most effective way to get meaningful power out of the car.

i want to feel the difference in the car with a few mods but yeah if you could get some power to come in between 2500-4500 rpm, the car would feel a lot quicker

Yeah, for sure. Especially if you're looking to run tighter road courses, the Z doesn't even really need much more than 300whp. I think I'd be happy with a legit 300whp with a smooth powerband.

im really looking forward to seeing Dixon Cider's car whenever he gets it back from GTM. a roadster with that kind of power should be pretty awesome.

I think the brakes add like 120 lbs, that is easy weight to take off. I think there are probably at least 100 lbs of airbargs I could remove too.

The worst part is "crap ton" isn't even an expression, there is literally 2,000 pounds of human feces being used to dampen sound.
