350z what mods would it take for a 350z to stay beside an ls1? i raced one last night and we stayed side by side until roughly 90 when i finally started to pull him. it was quiet, well not that i could hear it over my car anyway, but it suprised the hell out of me. raced 2 times once from stop (i need to practice launching with my tc) once from a 45-50 roll. gave him the jump both times. i stopped his pull but it took until 90 to start reeling him in and passing him.
my mods are lid, tsp catback, 3600 stall, shift kit, pptb,
o and since i havent saved the money to get a tune i couldnt stay off the rev limiter. so i'm guessing that had something to do with it. fast car though

it would take quite a bit to have it hang with a stock ls1..let alone a modified one. even headers and a full exhaust are barely worth anything with those cars.a supercharger will get them into the low 13s.

headers=1200
catback=? 1100
intake=350
cams=1600
4250 for 270whp...lol I know that they are lighter than a fbody, but that is still 30 whp less than a ls1...stock. and I'm sure those prices don't include install..and I know its nismo stuff and its probably a lil more expensive then jwt and stuff, but come on.

These #' seem a bit too high to me also. There's got to be something wrong. I went onto several 350 forums to get an idea of what they dyno, and this is what I came up with.
Example: 1-JWT intake, kinetix intake plenum, y-pipe/exhaust, unorthodox pulley= 242rwhp/222ft.lbs.
Example: 2-Stock-237rwhp/230ft.lbs.
Example: 3-Exhaust, gutted cats, Nismo intake=235rwhp/232ft.lbs.
Example 4-Cold air kit=233rwhp/220ft.lbs.
Example 5-Vortech(9lb. pulley)=346rwhp/305ft.lbs.
The 350's dyno #'s I've seen all seem pretty consistent. 266 rwhp/271 ft.lbs. is just too far out of line. Before the guy with the vortech had it dialed in, he was making similar #'s to FormulaV8A4's.

BTW, look at this price for a blower kit for the 350Z VQ motor:

Look at the price, I mean. These "low 13/high 12" 350Z's are out there, but they sure spent a pretty penny to get them there. I say at least $10k for powerplant and tuning mods alone. I bitch sometimes about the price of LS1 stuff, but we can't complain.
