A&Q about 350Z
Q:
Hey guys I still love comming to this forum even though the Z is gone. Great place to connect with other car enthusiasts. Well my cousin has been working on this car for about the past year or so and its pretty much done after tons of fab work, sponsorship and blood sweat and tears. I hope you guys enjoy. The car will be featured at waterfest. Almost all the bugs are out and we took it for a run the other day against his brothers 06 C6 vette and had no problem keeping up. The car still has some tuning to be done, it was having a problem with getting fuel above 5500 rpms, car is running 18psi right now, and will probably go to 24 lbs max. Car features Rpi big brakes, boyd coddington wheels and much more. Probably not everyones taste. I am not a huge VW fan but car is still great.
The whole story is here from start until now.

Well the windows need to go back in and will be tinted. Also a engine cover needs to be made to be legal for inspection purposes. It will come out for shows. Although the purpose of this car is to be a driver. As for the 500 hp. The dyno run was done about 2 weeks ago and it was only running 14 lbs of boost and not getting suffiecent fuel at the top end, still has a few bugs. The car is running 18 lbs of boost now which makes the 500 hp recieving the proper amount of fuel. The car has been up to 24 lbs of boost. The engine was built twice so far after a couple of mishaps along the way 1-( a faulty head gasket) and 2- the first motor just let go. Now it is over built though and ready to go.
