I pulled a 1.9 60' on 285/35 18" street tires, trapping mid 110s at 8psi with 30psi in the tires
It's not so much that the torque kills it, that can all be adjusted accordingly with cam choice and what not. I'm looking for a broad powerband to better respond to off-throttle conditions as well as off the line. Really, the z33 chassis isn't a drag racing chassis....it just wasn't built for drag racing. Gearing is an issue too, but I plan on swapping the 3.3 pumpkin in when I have my built motor so I can stay in gear longer to make use of the power.
this is not true. 3.5L displacement with variable intake valve timing maximizes torque production throughout the powerband. Coupled with aftermarket camshafts, you could expect full boost by 4000rpm on the greddy TT kit (which uses 18g turbos), and with a fully built motor capable of 700whp, you could safely rev to upwards of 8000 rpm or more (yes, it has been done)
sorry, I know you z32 guys know a lot, but you've got a lot to learn about the vq35. Extra displacement plus technology=less lag. Besides the fact that JWT's sport 700 upgrade to their TT kit for the 350z will get you full boost before 4000rpm AND upwards of 750whp.
Is there a dyno of the JWT's Sport700 on the 350z? It would be interesting to see the .5 liters more lessing the lag that much? I'm truly interested and I agree with more displacement.
not only the displacement, but the variable intake cam timing and generally aggressive timing of the 350z stock, PLUS you're talking on a stock motor with 10.3:1 compression or even a built motor running 9:1 compression, with excellent head flow.
check out VRT, they do primarily all JWT turbo kits and motor builds

okay, i'll give you the benefit of the doubt. it's true, we z32 guys know a lot and i (personally) don't know much about the vq35. so watch out when we do learn about the vq35. we can argue "we're z32 guys, we already know a lot" and there'll be silence to hear us speak. haha. j/k.
but now that i'm making payments towards a g35 sedan, that day may come sooner than you think... that thing is damn torquey. it'll be interesting to see how the new vq35 engine will perform.

the new VQ35HR should be interesting. Taller deck, longer con-rods, but same displacement allows for higher revving. I'd like to see how it responds to boost. It'll be some time before there are turbo kits adapted for it, but when they are...it'll be NASTY!
both on street tires we'd be a good race If I was on DR's I could prolly pull a 1.7 60'.
It would be fun to do. When you do get DR/dot's (street) don't get the Nittos they suck! All the serious Z guys that drag buy BF DR/dot's and Hoosers/dots. I also think most good drag racers would agree.

A lot of the guys around here swear by MT ET streets too. I don't have spare wheels nor a place to store them for DRs
I figure when I'm in 11s on street tires everything else will fall into place haha
I think this will make your car even laggier. You need shorter gears not taller to stay in the powerband. That's why some of us with bigger turbos switch from stock 3.69 to 4.10 gears. Take a ride in a 4.10 equipped Z32 and you'll know what I mean.

I thought longer rods as such limited high rpm useage and increased cylinder wear. I understand stroker engines can be made to run at high rpms, but its hard on the engine. Piston speed would definitely be higher than with a shorter stroke bigger bore engine. Seems to me this is counterproductive for a tuner car.....
