i'd say something is wrong. I use to be dead even with intake exaust 300zx's when i had my stock Taurus SHO (rated at 220hp).

Make no mistake some of the early 90s twin turbo 300zx's are straight up fast. I've got a friend with boost control and exhaust dipping into the 12s on the colder days.

your buddy is stage 3. that's about 380-400hp flywheel of course. people don't give these cars enough respect. there might be something wrong with your car though, with your mods i would think you should pull.

to the guy with the tauras sho. you would get walked by a tt 300zx. the only chance you might have is a n/a 300zx. again people keep the mis-information to yourself.

They have 300hp stock, with boost at 14psi and downpipe then somewhere in the 400 at the flywheel hp. Explains alot.

Can't win them all. Just use it as incentive to get more mods!

Its easy to get 100 more hp with like 800 bucks with the 300zx. I raced one with similar mods. We were neck to neck from a 50 roll, once I hit 5th he would pull away. But thats not a racing gear for me. From a 55 though, id take him.,
