I am in love with your car. What kind of numbers are you shooting for in it? When do you think this will be done. One of the nicest z’s ive seen and completely want to know more.

Thanks for the comment. I’m going to try and push the car to 400 HP, after the motor is broke in and everything checks out to be ok. I’m hoping to have it done before May. The motor has Crower Rods, Wiesco Pistons, Fully Port & Polished head, with Ford racing Valves, and Ford Racing Stage 3 Valve springs. High output oil pump. Stage 3 6 puck Spec clutch. I plan on upgrading cams sometime this year and getting a bigger turbo too. And going to put a LSD into the transmission later this summer too. I won’t run big boost on it daily, just when ever I go to the track.

Nice build BTW

by the way i like the body, well done and the kit doesn’t look overdone, goes well with the car.

Car is getting closer to starting, can’t wait. but I’m still going to take my sweet time with it, double check everything before it fires up. I still need to weld all the intercooler piping, so I can eliminate as many couplers as I can. and still alot of little things to finish up too.

Do you have any video’s of this bad boy when it running with the old setup? I think there was some youtube video’s of it dynoing or something.

ZX2fst · April 1, 2009, 9:05pm

Yea there is one video of it on the dyno on youtube. I always forgot to video it when it was running. But this year I plan to have lots of videos of it.
