That's the cleanest 350 Z I've ever seen. No one has ever come close to that, lol.

Either way props to everyone for some close races.

25psi, let me ask you a question. You always post here trying to prove that 350Z's are cool/fast. Why would you post a video of a 330rwhp automatic Z28 beating a 430rwhp 350Z from a roll? Not only was the Z28 100rwhp short but it is much heavier, to me thats pathetic for the 350Z.

But if you must be so, I'll show you the outcome on MY roll. forget my peak HP, its not nothing new that the LS1 has great downlow TQ over mine, which on his roll he gets moving first, then I play catch up but we run out of road. Common sense.
55mph Roll, I pull a car and a half then shut down:
Video
You say hes doing "330rwhp" as if you own the car. I'm not here to put down anyone or make the Z look "cool" I respect mark's car and any LS1 for that matter. I just don't appreciate bold statements like "my car being pathetic."

I really would like to trade my g35x in on a g35 coupe, I just wish they made the g35 coupe or the 350z in awd, then id be in heaven as I need awd in the northeast.

When you say G35x, is that the sedan? If so, then where talking about a 5-600lb difference!
It doesnt take much at all to make them fast. You can get away with 12psi with a nice conservative tune, but wont take much more than that. People have ran stock motors up to 500rwhp without a problem, but others have blown them with 400rwhp. Its all in the tuneing. I drove mine around for about 15k miles without a problem and all I did was buy the turbokit. When I initially bought the kit, I didnt have an aftermarket exhaust plus I still retained the stock cats and I was still able to make 412rwhp at 7-8psi. There are other kits on the market that you can buy that are alot cheaper than what I paid for mine(8500). You can purchase the greddy kit for 5000 or go with a single for about 4500. The stock clutch will be able to hold 400rwhp without a problem depending on how you drive it. I used to beat the hell out of mine and it lasted 3 good months. So it total, you would have to spend about 7000 to have the cheapest turbokit plus installation. Of course you would have to spend money on guages but that inexpensive. To have a car that traps at 118 with stock exhaust and cats and 121 with exhaust at only 8-9psi, is well worth it IMHO. You can manage to beat 90-95% of the cars on the road

Where's that Vid in the Video's section where there's a group of guys, 4 with fbodies, 2 or 3 350Z's and a Vette'
2 of the LS1's are cam only, one or two are full bolt on's and both 350Z are packin Turbo's... one 8 psi, one around 10-12 psi.
These guys race from 0-150, or whatever it takes, there's several races and they all mix and match.
the only race that was close was a newer T/A with just bolt ons and a stall going at it with the 10 PSI Z, and the LS1 caught him and passed him.
Im going to search like hell for the vid but if any of you guys find it, or know what im talking about please post it up.
Im going to look for it until i find it.... but until I do... this should hold you over 25Psi
