Ah just mucking about with 280ZX shaped distractions, one now cut up, one taxed and tested (drives nice ) and another late shell that is too good to show to the reciprocating saw (grinders are SO yesterday ) so am trying to find some nice bits to put it back together, perhaps another V8 candidate???
I wouldn't say 350bhp is exactly modest, especially not when the 350+ lb-ft of tq comes in at about 1500-2000 rpm (MantaV8 my apologies if I have been a little conservative of your real numbers here).
My LS is being left standard at around 330-50 bhp/lb-ft until I get to grips with what the suspension and tyre setup I’m buying can truly handle. I see no point in going mad with power mods if the car just sits on the line smoking tyres.
Give me a V8 over TT's any day, unless it’s a V8 TT of course
Ah!-a man with sensible goals!
That's the point I'm trying to get across-yeah,I could get 500+ out the ol' gal but like the man says,I wouldn't put it on the tarmac!
What I like is the instant (and I mean instant!) kick in the pants when even just 'stroking' the throttle!!
First impressions are,I'm gonna struggle with whatever it is I have power-wise now as the rear scrabbles at about 1/2 throttle and with an LSD!!!
Anyhow,due to my concern over the standard fan not being up to the job,this came today,so it just Had to be fitted!!-16'' Pacet-only just fits!
