I remember he ran a stage 7, HKS 300zxtt and beat it. The Z had more hp, but it couldn't lay it down off the line. Those TSIs can make hp easy, but their motors are fragile. My friend went through maybe, 4 motors....good times.

Yeah I am on my 5th motor, got tired of waiting for the machine shop to do basic stuff! So I bought the Z for a little speed. DSMs aren't things you can rush! Doing a 2.3l stoker build on it, all forged with a FP Green turbo (54mm, I believe?) But I love that car, my first was a FWD eclipse. They have potential.

I think my friend was pushing just a smidge over 300 hp on the dyno with his "ghetto" boost. That was a lot bitd. But he did use 110 octane race gas and straight piped it. He put some cheater slicks on it, hit up the bigger cars at the races, and managed to beat some of them. They're great sleeper cars. I think the fastest ET he got was a 13.1 at 106, 107 or something. That was considered fast for the 1990s. Even boosted up Z32TTs had a hard time doing that with over 400 hp.

Nice, yea how they are they pack a mean little punch, The 370z all motor is growing on me, it pulls nice. I will always love boost but this still puts a smile on my face that the Honda couldn't lol. I am hoping for a mid 11 once I finish this motor.
