Personally,

If i was Z350man i wouldn't even waste or risk running Mr. K in a race at all....As for Ed's car i wouldn't even bother trying to pick a race with him since he would destroy that Z32 by a world and i'll love to see you run up against Hotcakes S13.

When/Where/Time

Z32 tranny is the next upgrade I'll be taking from your cars. Matt was simply trying to help you listing what it would take to free up some power and get you moving, I don't see why people are stubborn about oh I want to make xxx stupid amounts of power on stock cams, stock this, cams are an awesome upgrade. 300zx great parts, shitty to service and quite heavy, hell your car is so baller it comes with headlight adjustment tools in the hatch in a special box.

Civic hatchbacks are light too, but they use every other part from 20 different motor combinations and cars. I dont care if I lose to you, or if I lose to 350ZMAN or if I lose to anyone on here in a "race". I enjoy my car and it's potential in stock form versus having to modify it balls to the walls to even contend around here. Again, 1/2 the money for the same power. I didnt build my internals to make 500whp. I didnt swap cams. Swap manifolds. Swap brakes. Swap fuel systems. Swap transmissions, etc.

Do me a favor. Search for a better intake plenum for the Z32. You'd be lucky to find one, and if you did its probably off of eBay and made out of some shitty chinese metal. Cams, obviously they'll make more power, but we dont need to rely on them like you. I have enough bottom end/top end in my car. I have more torque, and on the exhaust manifolds. I dont have 900$ to spend on Mike Smith manifolds. Maybe ill port and polish the extra ones in my garage, that will suffice for now.
Someone is butthurt that we keep grabbing all his parts from the junkyard.

Um I'm far from built to piss... if I blow when I crack over 600 then I will come back built to piss, my bottom end consists, of cp pistons and an apexi headgasket.. valve springs, retainers, cams and that's about it, no one is knocking what you got what everyone is confused about is why you're running you mouth saying you faster than lighter cars making 500 and even 550+ whp. Even with what I am making I feel I'm slow, car is fast enough to scare me at times, all that matters.

you make a great point. with that said you dont see any of us sporting around in an S chassis with a VG. Oh with that said ZFEVER has swapped a few SR20DET engines in to the 300z. oh and they have put SR20DETs in to Rx7's and Integras, and 350z's and. . . who knows what else. You should absolutely enjoy driving your car, You would enjoy it more with a SR20DET!

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Who said ZFever had intelligent individuals running their business? Congrats Martin can do good work. Thats 1 of what 10 employees . I've read more horror stories about that place than ANY where from here to California. They are all over the web. Why dont you think they post on "Z" specific sites, its simple - people know they are pure shit! I've seen a VG swapped S14 before, actually on multiple occasions, just like I have seen plenty of RB swappe 240s and RB swapped Z's and LS1 swapped Z's and 240's. Point being that just because you can (like I said before), does NOT mean you should.

I had a built motor that I have to rebuild. At that time I will add some nice turbos. VG's are T00 TUFF
