Why the loss of power from 6,600 to redline?

I believe the RPM displayed on the graph is about 500rpm off since my redline is 7,800rpm. So the power curve is where it should be, with me peaking around 7,000rpm.

How much more power do you think you can squeeze out running E-85? When 1slow370z switch to E-85 he only gain 10 peak horsepower @ 8,300 rpm

From what I've heard 5-10whp is what i should expect when going to E-85. i would be happy hitting the 350whp mark...which would have me putting to the wheels what the engine is rated at to the crank

You ever think about running a dry sump, so you can rev a lot harder and not worry about oil starvation.

I have, i really can't justify the cost just yet. With the power the car is putting down, combined with how quickly it revs with the Aluminum flywheel and 4.08 rear end, its really right where i want it in tearms of how it feels to drive. Hitting the 350whp mark is just a mental thing for me, and has been the end point for power mods when i reach it. Dry-sump and cams are something i would only do if i needed to tear down the engine.

Then i might just have to do the 4.08 gears when its time. With the 4.08 gears is 1st gear useless? I'm asking because it could be a pain in the rear for streets, I only drive my Z 1 or 2 days a week until my beater bomb blows up.
