NVM, I found it. I read through the thread and while he has some good stuff he put on the car, he took some short cuts that came back to bite him. :eek:
There is a ton of info here on what NOT to do when building a boosted Z, and it seems like he missed some important information, especially about clutches and putting power on the ground. :shakes head:
Personally, if I boost mine (I say 'if' because I'd have to hit the lottery to do it or sell most of my things that go boom), I'd be happy with about 400 to 450 whp on a TT setup. It's been informative to read about Spooler's build and some of the others that are putting down big numbers and keeping the engines alive, but I don't have what it takes to drive a car with that much horsepower. I'm not real sure about driving a Z with 400, the last car I had with that much power, my hands shook for 3 days.... and I was 40 years younger. :icon14:
So, I'll content myself with living vicariously through those of you with the awesome cars... :tiphat: |
