I think these guys like talking more about their cars, rather than showing everyone what they will do at the track.

Bad_83 bring that fb out let's see how good it looks next to my fd.

Hey Sam, it was a invite to the track. I usually don't do many of the meets, and I'm getting old, so I try to do my racing at the track and not on the streets. I heard u guys have some bad machines, I would like to see how my bucket holds up against them. You guys are in the mooresville area right? Well I would be more than willing to come up there to play at the track. But zmax is a 1/4 mile, so again sir..... I invite you and your buddies to join us on a Wednesday night for the drag and brag event. Oh by the way my car is slow. Hehehe!

I wasn't talking about street racing I was asking you to come to meets. I don't do the drag racing crap. Too much money invested into just 8 seconds of glory.

Nah, it's not so bad at Zmax, for $20 you get to run as many times as you want from 5-9. And at the last 'Drag and Brag' a 350z ran something like 22 times...that's less than $1 a run. I believe they weigh your car as well and of course you get time slips for each run

I'm sorry. Us turbo first gen guys take alot of pride in our rides. Especially Long and I. We have built our cars from stockers to what we have now. The porting that I do speaks for itself. Even Bryan will vouch for that

Okay guys. I suppose we are having the meet this coming Sunday at the BK on Williamson Rd at 1:00 pm. I am experiamenting with blow through MAF. So far everything is working fine. If this turns out the way I hope, I can run whatever turbo and manifold I want and still retain the mass air flow

If I were you, I'd just find a used BNR stage 1 turbo from someone off this forum. Probably run you anywhere from 300-400 bucks (or at least that's all I would pay for one) and you'd still retain the same response as the factory turbo but gain plenty of power on the top end. Plus he clips the exhaust turbine to help with boost creep.

There's also the T04 hybrids that have significant hp gains aside from BNR. It all depends on what type of power you want to make, your budget, and how much time you have.

Ask and you shall receive

Come to the meet this Sunday and you can take a look at one in person, and we can talk.

On a different note, I have made some referance to trying a blowthrough mass air flow setup on my car. Mission accomplished All I can say is "WOW", what a freakin differance. The throttle responce is better. The boost responce is better, and o' my God, the turbo sounds like a freakin jet taking off when it boost up. Some pics you say? SURE!
