You can find HR heads on Ebay for like $500-600/set. That obviously excludes the cost of the aftermarket cams, but just the heads are something like $1,000/ea new.

My all time
Goal is to run a 2:17 and under. Doran’s racing 370z time around the track. That’s gt3 times

Not saying its impossible but Dorans car was probably around 425whp/2999lbs with driver and fuel on full slicks with my buddy Steven driving the car. Going to be hard to get there with 100 less hp, 500 more lbs, and no slicks. shaving 20seconds off would be a huge undertaking. Good luck!

I love Elmo's enthusiasm and we don't get better without setting goals that are seemingly out of reach for a mere mortal. I have received one day of instruction from Steven (he has agreed to help me setup my Z suspension) and and spend time talking to him when we are at the track together. He is a wealth of information and the number one thing about being the fastest is going beyond skill! You have to have big balls

. When I have asked about going really fast he gave me the same response that I give people that ask me about carrying a gun for self protection..."is it worth it? Because consequences can be deadly."

I also set my goals high. You never know what you can do until you give it your all. Why limit yourself by setting a lower goal. You may be able to far exceed what you think you can do. I have taken some hate for it. Oh well, I will still set my goals high.

I'm at that point in life where I'm not racing any more. But still loves to go fast. So my track driving is just before the hairy edge. About 8-10ths. I leave a little for those special moments. On the street. I never go above 7-10ths.

Agreed! It is not in my natural to do less than the best in anything I care about. I have always been an overachiever and I'm not changing now. LMAO, I think if you are reading and contributing to this thread you fall into the same mind set!!!

No disrespect taken. I didn’t ever plan to challenge that time in NA trim, I simply don’t have the funds, time or necessary folks around to compete. I have the horsepower covered with my snail. Then baby step from there on 2:25 is my goal with oem suspension. In 6 track days I’ve shaved almost 30 seconds off my time st the track. Now I’ll be i a position to be behind the wheel slot more often

Like I said, Moto IQ is nearly finished with the VQ build! We will probably see numbers in a few weeks!

Merry Christmas guys! Everyone stay safe, whether you're chasing IMSA or NASA ST3 cars or not

Good luck Austin, I saw the parts in your IG, anyway I don't know if vvel will let you rev past 8k without issues.

Elmo370z · 01-22-2020, 06:50 PM

Love that my old thread has sparked what I have up on. Definitely sub’d about constantly banging 8,300 with touching the intake side of things. 400 will need more compression and serious motor work. Adding a dry sump and ported heads would probably touch that mark.

Elmo370z · 10-03-2020, 07:17 PM

So everyone who laughed at me many years ago when I started the thread, well here it is. No it isn’t my car but my theory was proven right, 400whp is possible on a NA VHr
