its amazing what a little timing will do.

engine bay is looking good. only thing that bugs me is that battery, those yellow labels look so out of place.

OzzyruleZ

You aren't the first person to say that lol. I've been contemplating pulling the label off of it.

So decided to do a little comparison between my old setup and my new setup. I feel like my new setup is faster but we all know how the butt dyno is. So I took a video of a pull on the new setup and used youtube doubler to compare it to a pull that was done with my old setup. Well lets just say the butt dyno isn't wrong this time!

Video on the right is my old setup. VG30, HX35 @ 20psi, JWT 3BAR ECU, 420cc injectors, Scheider 274 cams, Schneider springs, port and polished heads, 3in turbo back, 2.5 IC pipe, Z32 30a.

Video on the left is my new setup VG33, PT 6262 @ 15psi, MS3X, 750cc injectors, Same cams and springs as old setup, ported and polished OWO heads with 1mm oversized valves, same 3" turbo back, same IC and pipe, same Z32 30a.

awesome build!

Thanks!

Well after much though and deliberation I've come to the conclusion that my Schneider 274's are not 274's. I've always wondered why the car idled so well with next to no lope on such big cams... It is because they aren't near as big as they are supposed to be. I've spoken with other Z owners and there have been multiple instances of Schneider sending people the wrong grinds...

So I'm going to get cams from another vendor in the near future, maybe Isky or Jim Wolf. However for now I'm just going to drive it and enjoy it for a bit. Stay tuned for some ET's and traps from my upcoming drag strip trip on 15psi. Hoping to touch the 11's.

Hey I live like 5 hours from you now! I moved to Alpharetta, Georgia a month ago. I'll be in Ocala next weekend helping host the WannaGoFast half mile. Looks like thats pretty close to you.

OzzyruleZ

No **** dude!? I'll be there too! Not racing but helping a friend with his GTO. Definitely need to meet in person lol.

Seriously?
You are close to me too?

Did you bring the dyno as well??? lol

I'm in north Atlanta, so a lot closer than I was! And no I didn't bring my dyno, BUT I now am the tuner for TopSpeed Motorsports, and we have an AWD Dynojet that I use every day

chefhhr

Wow you are close to me! We have a group that meets up in Kennesaw. Myself, another HHR, and a few Cobalts. I'd love to see that redline in person!

Let me know when and where! I'll be there.

Took the turd to the drag strip today to see what it could muster up. I made up my mind that my goal was to break into the 11's with the current setup and boost level. The old girl was able to do me proud. As you can see I really need to put my coil overs in. The stock suspension does not like the power

Did JCM boi show up with his F body?

OzzyruleZ

No of course not. I was hoping he would be there too. Wanted him to experience the 14 second car first hand lol

sweeeet. the soft suspension is hillarious, but in reality the weight transfer is helping keep it stuck.

OzzyruleZ

I have coil overs waiting to go it. I'm waiting on my poly bushing kit to show up so I can do it all at one time. Should really calm that drama down.

OzzyruleZ

Got another custom goodie made for the Z. Billet titanium, weighted shift knob with laser etched logo. A huge improvement over the stock knob.

Thats moving for such low boost! Awesome.

OzzyruleZ

Yeah I was pretty pleased!. I just sent some cams to Isky for regrinding. Hoping to pick up another 30-40whp from a proper grind at the same boost level. I'd really like to see 530-550 at 20psi or so. i think it can be done.

Does the Z make deliveries of ghost pepper sauce?

OzzyruleZ

It can if I ever get around to making more. I've been slacking

So I decided it was time to get the ridiculous squat this car has under control. Also to go through the front end because it needed it badly. The beast got new Power Trix coil overs, poly bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints and a prototype front lower control arm boxing kit from my friends at LFU Engineering to test out. It was a lot of work but damn did it make a big difference. It is like driving a completely different car! I still need to get it aligned and I have new wheels I need to get tires for but man she is starting to come together.

Welding the coil over adapter to the spindle



LFU LCA boxing kit



Front coils installed



Rears installed



Suspension hasn't quite settled in this pic. It is a little bit lower now.



The green clashes with my engine but I'll live.

looks good, but i bet the 60' is gonna be slower now lol. although likely a good trade off if it means not slamming the nose int o the ground when you shift, then smacking the back bumper on the ground again
