I am not taking up for 25psi dude, just letting you know we might not all be here for late model chevrolet sports cars. I'm not here for that.

Anyway, I'd say this site is for any fan of the LSX-powered vroom-vrooms. Things like LSINA7 whoring his car (as usual) or someone preaching X car > Y car are to be expected, no big deal.

This thread is indeed hilarious. I should change my username to 30psi, cuz that is how much boost I'm running in my 87 Buick Regal V6 lately.
Don't ban 25psi, I like comments implying that 350Z's have stock boost levels and that s/he implies that C5 roofs go flying off.

I mean sure we can call the Z06 factory stock but some on now. In the end it's pretty much the same as having a built motor.
Even a stock Z06 isn't really stock.

The car was amazing IMO way ahead of it's time cause till this day it is a bad *** car. I think if Nissan were to try it again in today's economy the car would sell very well.
Personally go back 1 year and get the 944 Turbo, just as fast with only 217hp and obviously looks and performance potential is outstanding as well.
I recently was thumbing through my old Car&Driver magazines, and happened upon an early 90's issue with a 300ZXTT/SupraTT/Corvette/RX7TT/968/3000GTVR4 comparo...interesting read. If I recall they chose the Supra as the winner. Looking back it's funny, because today you can get far more performance for much less money, but in those days(coming out of the terrible 80's) it was a relative golden age of performance.

After the last shift it looked like the Z06 was starting to run away from it but than they shut down. Good race, but the bolt-on & twin turbo'd 350Z goes down to the NA Z06. There can be only one Z.
430/377 from an LSX specifically an LS6 H/C setup sounds WEAK IMHO. Must have been a very mild cam to say the least.
