Start up file made 652 on 12lbs. We have since then turned it up to 16lbs and added some timing. We are slowly making our way up to the 1000 mark.

Best I got out of 3 passes (first time out with the car and me on a drag strip) was 10.9 My trap speed was 142mph so there is A LOT left in it. Once I get my '60ft out of the 2's and start leaving on boost she will dip into the 9's for sure. Every pass I made I was shaving at least 3/10ths off.

Doing a build like this is on my list. I almost bought a 76 280z earlier this year. Finding a rust free car or even close to rust free is difficult in the rust belt of Ohio

Very nice! Once you get that thing to hook, she'll be moving along quite well

Normally I hate the two tone look but I agree it actually looks good on this car.

Default Twin Turbo LSX Datsun 280Z
Update. The 370 is FINALLY back together.. I stayed up for 30hrs straight putting it back together with the mad scientist. Turns out some junk got caught up in between the Pistons and wrist pins so we had to open them up to .002 but other than that no major change besides some fresh bearings. Track times should be coming very soon.
