The car is currently making 485rwhp@14psi and I plan on going back to the dyno to give it a little more boost before rebuilding the motor. I would like ot achieve 600rwhp this season and get a few 10 second passes in. Once I regain my social life this summer/fall and get to enjoy my car for several months, it wil be going back under the knife this winter so I can add all the forged goodies and paint the engine bay. I will probably sell the N1 oil pump in favor of a better oil pump (JUN, Tomei, etc) and I'll also need to pick up an ATI Pulley.

Do you have concerns with high temps and running the AEM system in the engine bay? Just curious.

Seems like hes more intrested in drag racing, therefore the stock suspension will allow for more suspension travel and weight transfer to the rear wheels than coilovers or stiffer lowering springs would. +1 on a nicely done Z32.

Ding Ding, we have a weiner.....the travel/transfer on the stock setup is great. On drag radials and clutch dumps at 7k rpms (no 2-step) i was cutting 1.5 60 foots......which is pretty damned good for an IRS car

Regarding debris, etc on the AEM, no I am not worried. The car only gets driven in super-nice weather, and is typically trailered to the track.

1.5 60 foots are badass for a RWD car let alone an IRS car, most people have trouble ripping off 1.5 60 foots in an AWD car let alone RWD, props to you my freind.

Car looks great man. I see you have the OS Giken triple plate clutch. Do you know what model it is and could tell me how you are liking it? I have the TS3B for my motor and have been curious about more info on it.

I am fortunate enough to have a speed shop within 10 mins of my house that carries every Earl/Russel/Aeroquip fitting imagineable. Not to mention they match summit pricing on everything

even for weight transfer you should lower the front at least a little more, and maybe mount your camera and inch higher?

Love the car though, i'm a HUGE fan of rb25 and 26 in nissans. CONGRATS!!!
