The percentage of Z owners who care at all about quarter mile times is very, very small. When most people here mention a "track", it has corners.

hey, id say a stock 5.0 will have a run for its money with a full bolt on and tuned 370z

but a modified 5.0 will destroy a full bolt on and tuned 370z

A stock 5.0 puts down around 375/350. Even with bolt ons and a tune, you better be a better driver than the other guy.

Protective?

I tend to think Z1's dyno (where that car was dynoed) is inflated as hell, this isn't being protective, this is me pointing out that, with very few exceptions, those of us who spend the time and money to heavily modify these cars don't waste our time at a drag strip trying to break **** for no reason.

Furthermore, unless you have an autobox, the launch is the major variable with the car that makes quarter times nearly impossible to really compare from car to car. This is a hard car to launch if you don't have the bitch box and most folks don't waste their time trying to 'master' it.

Do what you want, I seriously couldn't care less, I don't have these headers.

Don't call it a bitch box just because it's faster

Your question had a pretty douchey tone to it, so people responded in kind. Had you phrased things differently, people would have been more friendly to you. You've got 12 posts here, it's a little early to be calling BS on guys who actually use the car as intended, on a track with turns.

How bout a Dyno is only a tuning tool. That will blow your mind.
