I remember a few years back a video was posted of a Z on the dyno doing a dyno pull and a quarter mile test. To this day I still watch that video...well...because...it was my car That was my street car that I built using off the shelf parts but machined/put together to what I felt made one of the most responsive street Zs built during that time period. Obviously in todays standards that car while still good is outdated in technology and practices. For those that have never seen it http://www.streetfire.net/video/92-300zx-twinturbo-620rwhp-28psi-dyno-tested-10_78071.htm I'm currently working on a new pro mod drag Z32 right now.

it would be excellent to see a zed running in ProFX and sticking it to all the 2jz's & rotaries 620rwhp is nothing short of impressive and even moreso considering it was a few years back and on a V6 zed.. These days its almost too easy to strap a pair of turbos onto an LS based vehicle with a bit of work and get those numbers for a relatively low (money for HP terms) outlay. Be very keen to follow the new build, best of luck and Im sure you will keep everyone posted.
anymore info on wes's build? specificly the plenum! look's like you've chopped/welded the rocker cover too
"I'm currently working on a new pro mod drag Z32 right now. Estimated at 1500HP with an ET projected of low 8s high 7sec. " So how is the crank going to be held in place so it does not go walkies? Custom 'bolted around the perimeter of the block' cradle? Or electric loctite the stock one
Wes actually did all that work himself, he's purchased parts from me and a few other things in the past. His take on his build was to do a mini replica of the Escort Drag Z. So far he's doing a pretty good job.
Got any pics? I could be interested in a set of such caps and the overlay but to be honest I have difficulty in imagining much improvement over OE, assuming its all still going to be retained by just eight studs in the OE positions.
Anything that has a billet cap is far superior than the stock cast girdle. Both the caps and the new girdle I am making are out of billet. They will be case hardened as well. All I'm doing is refortifying the stock approach with better materials to handle more abuse.
