I wouldnt assume one was slow, i mean all they have to do it turn up the boost and they are faster than an ls1 car, thats the cool thing about FI, you never know how much boost they are running.

yea but there is also a point when being too greedy with the boost controller will pop their motor if its not built.

And i personally have no idea how much the stock motors can hold, i just know at some point either the stock fueling or internals are bound to fail if the boost is just pushed up and up.

Heres a video of that Z vs. the 600WHP hellion Cobra:

^That was on his old setup. You can hear in the video he continues to turn the boost down and eventually just turns the boost controller off to try and make it a closer race lol.

And yeah theres also a handful of Z32s between San Antonio and Austin making upwards of 600+HP...
That is rediculously sick. Most of the Z community dogs on the Z31 for being one of the ugliest Zs ever made but I never thought it looked that bad. Must be one hell of a sleeper...

A stock VG30DETT is farily strong and can handle a good amount of boost. The only issue is the tiny stock T25 turbos and that replacing turbos on a Z32 is a serious headache. You really don't have any choice but to drop the motor. I was fortunate enough to find a clean Z32 with JWT sport 500's, not a major difference but better than a T25. I've hated the T25 ever since my redtop S13.........
