Hello, I stumbled across your site and this discussion and wanted to put my two cents worth in. I am a friend of Steve's and have driven the car in question. I was at the Nationals with him. It runs great. It pulls hard from about 1800 rpm and sets you back in the seat at about 4k (big cam, really big). We drove about 2700 miles on our trip to the nationals and the Z got right at 27 miles to the gallon. Keeping in mind that it's a .40 over L28 with a groomed head and like I said a huge cam, we were plesantly surprised at the mileage. We ran about 85-90 most of the time and it has a 3.90 rear end and a 5 speed. Steve has wanted to build this setup for quite some time and yes he was partially motivated by all the talk over the years about how it wouldn't work. I seriously dought he will ever produce any for sale, there was some talk of having manifolds cast as that is were the bulk of the fab. time is, but I wouldn't hold my breath. He has somewere in the neighborhood of 150 hrs. in the set on the white car, as he made everything you see right down to the fuel rail with the return line (triple weber/Mukuni don't use a return).
