ah okay, then that sounds about right. good kill.

I'm a big fan of both the 350zs and pretty much anything with an LS series engine in it.

^The 350Z would actually make a great LSX swap canidate. The VQ is a decent motor though that does not blow up much, so we wont see too many as opposed to rotarys and such.

I do know somebody put an old school SBC in one though

there is a couple now that have put the titan v8 truck motors in them. A lsX would be nice in a 350z. Won't really run much faster than a fbody lsx car though. Since weight is almost the same.

350znal: That's a nice time for a s/c 350z. How much boost are you running?

I'm all for an lsx swap into a 350z. It's actually a little lighter than the vq35, and it should get slightly better gas mileage and use 87 octane (vq requires premium).
