the o2 was just a 3 wire with the end cut off from a ford or some thing I just shopped for the cheep one cut the lead off. The things that the car had to make it fast was a 3500 7disc. converter that was good for 4tens. that would kill the engine when it was cold. so I took that out so the person that got the car would not have that problem in cold weather they only make a 5 disc. now because of that problem. the other is a 50% under drive pulley took off because at idle the battery would not charge that was good for 3 tens . I did have MSD box with a 2 step that was set at 3200 witch would biled boost to 6-8# on the line that was good for about 2 tens. I locked the converter in the middle of 2nd because the turbo would loose a little boost. I had an old TE 62 turbo that I think worked better because it 60 foot better than the 66 but the 66 MPH better. I did the 10.17 133mph with the 62 the 66 was 10.24 at 134mph. the 60 foot 1.62 to 1.55 and a 1.40 once with the 62.

just a few additions: it has a new tranny, fair paint job including removal of all cancer spots and fixed the right floor pan, adjusted driver side roll bar,rebuilt turbo by limit, new t- converter, new upgraded Z rear (250 version?)pistol shifter, some other small stuff and of course the ugaaa horn

loved that car and crazy fast for the street with John's tune it reminded me of the first 930s as u can feel the Gs pinning you down to the seat at full throttle. Put the magic back in the Z by following the stuff in John's binder and have fun with it.

Swoosh,

thanks for the updated information. I have a little experience making GNZs go fast

Too bad the cage was cut out of it as that will limit how quick it can go (low-mid 11s) until I put one back in.
