i just dont understand why people choose to go with less area under the curve and less potential when they could just do a full swap...for hardly any difference in work.

No pun intended

Worst case scenario swap for stock motor & take your time with the 3.5 & timing equipment. sh&8 you should be a pro at pulling that VQ out by now Fyi if / and when you get a rwd sports car. 240 z skyline etc, it will basically eliminate the sleeper effect we get with these "family cars"/"fullsize sedan" "maxipads" "grocery getters" Excuse my run-on sentences.lol Guess I am living my sleeper dreams through your car .SAAD I know but my project has come to a screaching stop due to the body shop.

useless update: met up with someone who did a 3.5 swap in their 4th gen. hes going to help me get it running the way it should. took a ride in the one he did...that thing is out. thats how i expected mine to be plus some. i couldnt get over how fast it was...just a intake too. im so excited to get mine done now :-D .

update with progress: found out the problem guys. its not even that bad!
the cam spacer/adaptor....apparently the cam dowel pin that slides through the spacer into the sprocket on the 3.5 is smaller than the 3.0...so it didnt have enough 'bite' and it jumped timing on the exhaust cams. no damage done. but i am using the 350z cams i aquired just to be safe with some spare 3.0 cam dowel pins i had. should be running by thursday at latest. at that time, i will def. take videos if all is well for you guys.

completely off-topic old video my friend just uploaded recently of my other car. when it was stock except for an exhaust
1989 audi 200 quattro wagon
why it rocks: turbocharged, 5 cylinder, all wheel drive, 5 speed. 170hp stock. it now rocks a full 3 inch exhaust, chipped 2.2 bar ecu, 18psi wastegate spring and a 034 motorsports bpv. it should be putting out around 230-250hp. with MUCH more room for improvement.
ps: i didnt upload the video, so im not the large man. im in the comments if you want to look at my myspace page for some reason.
edit: i know the car is a piece of ****. so save your comments its just a funny car thats actually pretty ****ing quick. cool sleeper/daily/winter beater.

how so? i knew what i was buying. i know they are the same as all other vq35 cams. i got them for 5 bucks literally. with intentions of selling them on this forum for more money. or now, using them as spares.

seems you were confused in the end. not trying to hate. if you got them for 5 bucks and really knew they were the same as maxima/altima/g/z...cams then nice steal

Everyone else seemed to hover in the upper 13/slow 14's arena. Seems as if most in the upper 13/low14's had a y-pipe of some sort.

IMO the majority of the people that arent fast have a number of reasons, such as no tune or very few bolt ons. thats why i asked if he isnt modded. krismax ran 12 with low power number, and i think he could be faster than he ran too especially because of his weight

ummm i have all of those. im just not cocky about my car and wont say **** i dont think it can do. ill let the slips talk when i get back from the track.
i pulled a 13.9@95 with a 2.060 60ft on street all season tires. on a beat 253k mile 3 liter. stock with a drop in air filter and 75 shot. when you can do that, then you can tell me to get a 'driver mod'.
but anyway....short ram intake, ebay headers, motostorm crank pulley, ssim, phenolic lower intake spacers, apex safc2
then i have my nitrous on top if i really need it. havent tried it on the 3.5 yet because its not filled.

aiming low is always the way to go at the track, things have to fall into place just right to run really exceptional times. if you aim low you won't be disappointed - that's how I always look at it anyways.
