First you run 20 pounds. A Z with 20 pounds would probably be WELL into the NINES. It would smoke this POS Toyota. Remember the suspension is designed by the guys that make CAMRY suspesnsion. What do you expect to happen? You can even hear the engine breaking as it does the track. I bet it doesn't even last for many passes. I have a finely tuned ear from years of tuning cars and I can hear that it is too much boost.
Plus the car is running E85. That is like nitrous for subarus. You woulnd't compare a NOS powered Z to a NON-ASPIRATED Subaru, why would you do the reverse.

RED6SPD is right...you guys are just HATERS!!!!!!!!!


LOL! I think its awesome what they are doing with the little subby and its things like this that make the aftermarket for the cars a much better place. I hope they hit 10's that would be sick. But as mentioned before don't come on here saying "oh boy look the Z cant do that".

I'm not hating on the Z or saying it will never do that speed, but it hasn't yet. I'd love to see it, though.

Truth is, the Z will need $35k or more in mods to run times like that. The question is... Who's willing to pay it? I been doing research on it cuz i want to go FI. I'm quickly giving up hope. Good news is. I have nearly 10k saved for a turbo. Maybe i will just keep saving for the future FI Z or other car later and put premium NA mods on the Z, then pass it to my wife when i get the new turbo'd next gen car.

The flipside is... once the Z is attainable for 22k or less used? YOU WILL SEE 11 SECOND Z's. Cost of ownership plus cost of going FI sways a lot of people. People are boosting the BRZ cuz it can be had for 26k and the cars are new so they are getting sponsor discounts. We and mitsu see the highest prices in mods for a non premium brand.

35k in mods? are you high? I'm willing to bet, with a better driver(as I am not certain of my drag strip skills) and better tires I will hit low 11 seconds...

I'm sure you can run 11seconds with 20k in mods.... Then watch your Z's engine fall into pieces after a couple of runs... You better consider sheathing and forging among some other reinforcement mods which is quite expensive when done right. The key is to have a fast car that runs EFFICIENTLY and as RELIABLY as possible, not just a fast car.

I'm not high... I been researchin' this shyt.

That FRS/BRZ running low 11's is on the stock block. 20lbs of boost is a lot considering that it's still a relatively new engine design with a lot of unknowns. I totally agree. It's not worth going FI if the engine needs to be rebuilt down the road in 10k miles or less.

Yes but don't forget 30 pounds of boost is hardly anything depending on the turbo, according to some around here.

Improper turbo knowledge may cause irritability, light headedness, irregular bowels, and in rare cases, suicidal thoughts. Check with your flow chart to see if 30lbs is right for you.
