The gearing of Z's is very much balanced around an N/A powerband. If you could stretch 1st gear to say 50mph it'd help consolidate the traction issues to one gear instead of fighting it for 2.

If I'm wrong I can only blame my newfound experience with heavenly 3.31 gears and only having to shift twice down the quarter, however 1st is really the only gear I'm thankful for.
Damn only shifting twice? I'm at like 3-4 shifts by the time I cross the 1/4 mile. Last shift is close to the line but I forget whether it's before or after it.

Yes I finish halfway through third gear.

Pretty sure my car with 8psi And 4.09 rear end would hang with that BRZ. 20 PSI on stock block. Watch for BRZ engine rebuild thread soon!

Again 20psi with a t25 is not the same as 20psi on a t62 or what ever turbo they choose....

I would be more forcused, since that havent listed the turbo off, on the whp number. Just over 100% increase from stock.

Love to see it. I'd love to see a 370Z beat that time at the strip, with a posted slip. That would be very exciting.

Seems to be a tough concept for most here to grasp...

Excuse me, sir, but my 370z in Forza Motorsports was faster than a Z06 with all the mods I put on. And that game's a simulation of real life.

that's because you added the trailer home mod to your corvette. it's tough to corner with a mobile home on the back.

Tell me about it.... I bet most couldnt read the flow chart on a turbo to size correctly for what they are trying to accomplish. Or better yet even know that turbo's have flow charts...
