Heres the deal..
I wasnt goin to boost the NA motor. i was going to swap in TT motor. clip and tranny. I didnt take out a loan i got a credit card lol with a 4500 limit for my first credit card is that good? any ways...

I test drove it and OMG that totall made me want the tib even more. I knew the thing was a boat to begin with but driving it and feeling how top end heavy it is WOW. took it down some windy ass roads doin a decent speed--tib would OWN it in an Auto X. My tib has a lot better accel and would beat it hands down.

Conclusion...
BOOSTING the tib. and now i got the money so this will happen very soon. Im goin to have my motor sent to Viper to be P&P and he said he would help build the motor up as far as he could outside the car. So now its time to get parts lol. To get the 300zx at the HP i wanted and to handle half as well as the tib id be spendin a decent amount of money! The Z isnt a good car to drive daily and try to mod. its one that needs to be fully built to really enjoy.

THanks faith and brake fing02.gif

The ZX is expensive to modify.

The motor swap would be hell to do compared to just turboing the Tib. The ZX would be down for quite a while, whereas the Tib would be down for a weekend at most.

If ZX - only turbocharged from factory

Boosting Tibby is a good choice! Do it right!
