Dealing with indecisive people who speak before they put $ in their bank accounts gets old. BTW, I couldn't agree with you more. "Bring your car to Stage IV and leave it the hell alone! It's absolute lunacy trying to turn a 15 year old Japanese sports car into a 500RWHP track/drag car. I can understand how Greg pulls it off, he has the shop, the money, the labor, etc. For your average Joe, Stage IV is more than enough power and does not compromise reliability." If you have to stop, scratch your head and think about this one, it probably applies to YOU. Not that I ever really had 500HP goals, but this is why I'm totally passing on the Z32 as a platform for a vehicle that is capable of dominating road course, drag strip and street. It's getting old, parts are being phased-out and there are better bang-for-the-buck vehicles out there. A car as old as the Z32 should just be left alone after a certain point, unless you just have the fever and a few loose screws to either blow minds or blow motors. I've had fun tossing my cow car around on the track enough to where I can accept that fact that it doesn't need XXX horsepower to be enjoyable. As ZEngineer mentioned (I believe I quoted him below), the peace of mind is worth the absence of "potential" horsepower. I'm sure I could ramble more, but I won't.
