I don't have the 6.99 slip with me but the previous 7.06 done on 30psi went like this:

60ft 1.05
1/8 4.47 @ 155mph
1/4 7.06 @ 189mph

Wow that is lighter than I thought. Great 1/8th time as well I'd be doing exceedingly well to run within 4 tenths of that in the S13. What are your 60' like?

Q16, There are plenty of 2jz's out there making more power than the engine we have in the fed but power is not really the issue, its USING the power.

I think for what it has (or more what it doesn't have), the engine in it is doing pretty well.

Jap power sure does make the V8 boys worried

I'm not sure that a dragster is very aerodynamic, there's alot of open areas and restrictions where a full body can be made pretty smooth and "slippery" but without a wind tunnel we can't compare.

How do you think project gtst would go on a 10.5 inch tyre and with a 2 speed transmission?

The hard case thing about this one is I'm not sure if he is, I'm sure he can comment - but the way I had it in my head this motor is the same spec as the one he had in the 240Z, its not one of their top spec motors and could strictly speaking be yanked out of the FED and put into a street car and drive fine.

What the run shows is the combination of its power delivery, chassis setup and madman behind the wheel are up to the task of doing a 6 at >190mph - the only other RB powered vehicles I know of trapping over 190mph was Heat Treatments at around 191mph, and HKS at around 193-194mph (in the 180SX). Some very very good company

The motor is the exact same spec as it came out of the 240z and perfectly streetable, it still has the same 5 year old cams which are just off the shelf tomei, a stock block, stock crank, stock cradle, stock used 10mm mains bolts, 11mm head studs etc.

The main thing I can't believe is the rpm it tollerates with the bottom end being stock other than the pistons and rods, who ever would have thought it would hold together at around 1500hp and 10,000rpm? not me thats for sure.

We could EASILY build a much stronger bottom end, dry sump it, install a much better cylinder head, add a turbo in keeping with the size most guys would be running 6s with and make considerably more power but untill I blow the ass out of the motor I have I see no point, we struggle to use the power the motor makes now.

The next goal is 6.7 to 6.8 @ 200mph with the same motor in the same spec with the same turbo, we just need to MAKE it rev to 10,500 wether it wants to or not, that will be done with less wing drag, more boost and more NOS if reqd and if that doesn't work we'll go to a slightly taller diff gear and load the motor more.
