It's more fun to drive a slow car fast, than to drive a fast car slow.

Boosting the Z opens up a can of worms most people can't get a handle on. There is a lot of trades offs in doing it. And you better have a real good tuner. Stock block, around 500 ft lbs of torque is the limit, and about 16 lbs of boost. The torque is the limit on stock rods. Over 16 lbs of boost and you start lifting the heads.

Get a car that is oem boosted. Or oem with big power.

High 20's is more in the head lift territory. But everything else is spot on. But damn it's fun driving a turbo Z ��
