Hey

Did you guys see this video, it's amazing. The guy nearly totals his Z at the track and still manages a 8.x run.

By the way, it 's 5AT. Here is the copy and paste of the my350z.com forum post my a member named "More Power"

Link to the Video:

"This video has already been posted on another thread for the 8 sec for the qtr. mile 350 Z:

<http://www.theexperience.com/videos...x-hairy-512.wmv>

Now here's some more of the story:

The engine builder for this car told me that the 8.33 sec. @ 176 mph 350 Z is stock bodied. Weighs 3050 lbs. He said they, Peformance Motorsports, are using our 3.5 L VQ with their sleeves, pistons and Carillo rods. Most of the engine is stock! They are running twin turbos at 30 to 33 psi boost, whew! NISMO limited slip differential, Driveshaft Shop axles, and an automatic tranny. They are making at least 1300 hp to the wheels to get that heavy stock bodied car to 8 sec qtr. miles. They are running our stock plenum! The reason they are running BFG drag radials rather than slicks is that their class requires street tires. He told me that the Z broke loose way down the track because one of the tires caught in a groove on the track and caused the unwanted left turn, ha.

The engine builder told me that they are R&Ding a setup good for about 450 hp to the wheels (for sale to customers) for our 350 Zs based on the HKS supercharger. That is on stock internals and about as far as you want to push the stock internals, he said. I think I will stay more like at no more than 350 to 400 hp to the wheels for perceived reliability. Their goal is to stay with the stock 7 psi of boost for ultimate supercharger reliability. I will probably go with the HKS supercharger which is why I am interested in what they’re doing. They are still R&Ding vavle work, porting, hi flow cats, exhausts, headers and frankly everything… Incidentally their engine guy says people are breaking rods in our VQ from excessive RPMs moreso than too much power. He said the VQ has a lot of light weight internals and that’s good for performance but it should not be run at higher than stock rpms on stock internals. That’s just his opinion. I don’t want to argue that point cause frankly I don’t know, but thought I’d add that in case anyone is interested. He says their goals are for a very streetable smooth, idling, and reliable 350 Z, but very quick for a stock internals street car. The engine builder said he has 25 years experience building forced induction engines. It will be very interesting to see how they do. That’s all I remember from our conversation.

 

That is the same 350 that was featured in Modified Mag about 2 months ago and it was only running 10's then.

Gurgen you mentioned you were going witht he HKS supercharger now?? I would stick with a TT setup, but that's me :/ I had no idea they pulled that much power out of the stuff they said they did, i saw the eingine and it looked completely different, nothing like our motors it looked like a damm V8 crate motor! Check out his 350z
