Looking to get more into road or i think its autocross. there was a group of older guys with there vettes that would get to gether and race in a big parking lot that was temp turnd into a track where i used to live. wasnt old enough to get into it then though. not so much competitive drag racing but i wouldnt pass up a day at the strip.i've done full exhause headers to the mufflrs alum fly wheel one piece drive shaft cold air and i have and afc neo that i would like to get hooked up and dyno tuned but dont know any of the shops in town either. ignorance is bliss isnt it

Anywhoo....under 200? Since when? Now granted, 230 isn't throwing me back in the trunk when I jump on it but my car is far from mediocre.

230? how? theres no way if youre completely stock. heavily modded n/as dont even get to 230rwhp
a good condition stock n/a should be in the low 190s

Oh boy what have i started i was just lookng to get into racing not open a dark burning rift between the na and tt owners there is no debate that the tt is can produce big number better thn the na thats forced induction for ya any engine can make good nums using turbos or sc'rs because of the huge increase in valumetric efficientcy. so tt na what ever we all still drive a Z and that puts us in a class of our own!
you smell that...smells cheezy

IF you have 230rwhp, I'd like to see what kind of motor you have in your NA. I garuntee it's not a stock VG30DE.
I dunno and belive me I'm not trying to use this as some sort of "mines bigger than yours" thing. I'm just stating what I know to be as accurate as what I saw personally. Kinda wish I had kept the ticket from the dyno now....oh well.
As for my engine, it's as stock as it gets for a 13 year old car. Some parts have been replaced but nothing in the "performance" field to be sure. I suppose I could take a picture of my engine once I get it cleaned
Bottom line is I love what I drive
