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

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

Jeffblue · 03-30-2011, 01:11 PM

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:
