Writeup:
As I mentioned above, I've been building this car on and off since 1996.  I'm now in the process of building up a completely new VG33 motor for the Z (Euro VG30DET rods, modified forged TT crank, 1mm over Ferrea valves, Isky cams, gutted plenum), which will run a 67mm Garrett GT turbo, and making a custom race roll cage to meet NHRA specs, but that's not done yet, so all info above is as-dyno tested a few years back (I'm sure my current HP / TQ are higher, but that's OK).   I'm also in the process of a repaint, so the car is primer gray for now.  I will resubmit later once I've dyno tuned the new setup - I believe it will be in the 650-700 rwhp range.
