I use to be just into the straight line racing but since my last car 91 bmw I have focused on cornering. I dont want to do the 350 drop. A newer I6 thats fuel injected would make it alot easier to get to the 250hp area. You dont have to have alot of power to go around corners but you can get to that next corner faster with more power. I have been very busy lately and im still doing research and what to do I may stay with the factory engine I dont know.

Im starting to second guess weather I should build the motor or do a swap. From what research I have done so far cams head work exhaust is only going to get me to 175hp range that doesnt seem like enough despite how light weight the car is. Is this because of the poor head design(intake and exhaust enter the same side)? Going to the tri carb is ridiculously expensive! Time to do more research!

Whats done to your Z? I dont think mine could do any better than a 16.0 From the way it feels and im usually good at guessing times(I run the 1/4 every summer).

currently its a..... your going to laugh... 05 dodge neon srt-4. Now that your done laughing its pretty quick ran a 12.6 on street tires. To give you guys a better idea of what I need to accomplish my dad has a 72 Triumph TR6. He keeps saying how back in the day the early Zs never had enough to beat his TR6. Have some of you guys had a hard time beating those cars? He drove mine and said I didnt have what I needed to beat him. I want to have him drive my car and openly admit he stands no chance.

It goes down the road good..... for a 1971. Im not going to use it for a race car but more power never hurts. This is by far the best looking car I own but it is also my slowest. I think a nice cam head work exhaust.... and I would be happy

I know what you mean the metal bumper is a classic nice look. Finding one without rust was hard and I took what I could. Im not great with body work so I wanted one with a clean body. Now I need to figure out what to do for power.......

this is a picture if i did this right

1971 240z just picked it up. I quickly fell in love with the classic styling of the old Z. Along with being my first Z it is also my first carbureted car. Its pretty nice and has a body kit that is ok. It is my weekend cruiser and might be looking to do a motor swap of some kind in the future not sure yet.
