We have really been pushing our green 350Z lately, now running 8's and over 160mph in the 1/4 mile. Keep in mind we did not go the stripped out race car route - our full interior Z weighs in at 3400 pounds.

This weekend we drove up to Atco NJ where we found the limits of the off-shelf BC stroker rods. At an estimated 1300whp, two rods came apart. Now we are working on a rod option that will hold 1500whp or more reliably.

We were very happy to tear this motor down and find the remains in excellent condition. My biggest fear on the VQ is keeping the crank in the bottom of it at high horsepower (which is why we have our girdle on the bottom). I was relieved to find everything in awesome shape. With over 100 single digit passes the bearings looked perfect, the mains were all still intact and free of fractures, and we never had any head lift issues with the stock-size L19 head studs.

looks like they might have a slight problem reusing that girdle.....

if they strip it, then they are below their weight for the class they run.
