Thank you very much! That was part of the goal, actually... but to do it without taking any of the glory of the real 240Z away from it.

On that dyno run that I showed in my last link... although it was shut off around 4,000rpm (which is only halfway up the tach), and only at 7psi (which it will be running more than double) it put down over 200whp! That's crazy. Can't wait to see what today brings!

Tuning session is going well. This one, on 10psi, got 302rwhp.

Shortly thereafter (and while I was on the phone with them hearing this thing scream), it got 351rwhp at 14psi. The goal of 380-400 at high boost seems perfectly attainable.

Until the car is fully put together and we get a photo shoot (hopefully in less than 4 weeks), I figure the only thing left that I can show you all is the dyno graph. It's a darn well-breathing engine!

OK yunz. I'm registering RIGHT NOW for the Z Convention in Nashville. I'm putting it in the Judged Show, as well as People's Choice. Thing is, I have to choose a category and can't find anything that defines each category for me. I chose, for the time being, "Street Modified". Can any of you help?

The engine swap should put you in "Ultra-modified" and you want to enter it in just the "Judged" portion of the show (not both). Without the turbo swap it's the number of modifications that are visible that moves you from street mod, Nissan mod ,etc.)

If you put it in a ziplock bag once it's done and then take it out for the show you'd win a gold medallion trophy (more than 290 out of 300 points). Since you will be driving it around, for anything other than stock class, clean and free of dings and dents is every thing.

ZCCA car show rules (and classification of cars) can be found at www.zcca.org

Want more help, PM or email me.
