Milledge 2015 dry-sump motor, with oil tank and power steering in spare tire well. 3.1L; over 500 bhp (Woods' dyno) at 13psi. At 20 psi, about 600 bhp. Not really practical for street, so using medium, with 18. No traction in 1st, 2nd, and limited in third. Torque is just over 85% (of bhp) when rpm is more than 6k. Before new RE-71's, MoTeC showed wheel spin at 95-100mph, after covering rpm to spped, but could feel it, anyways. Jon calls, asks, "Why do you have third gear, there is no traction with these tires?" Yes, Jon, bring it back and I'll order new tires. Jon actually placed the electric steering in car; works very well. Much more than 20lbs., the rods don't last long.

Live in boondocks; today driving on fairly open fwy, see newer Z in rear view. Looking closely, see large hood opening like one sees when a Z is equipped with Stillen S/C and the hole is for intercooler. Move over to make room, Z comes flying up, I'm in 4th @ 4k rpm, and go flat; then through 5th (968 tranny (and Guard diff. from Woods), as Jon assured me the 5 sp. would break), saw 6,400 in 6th. Lifted, braked really hard, see Z a few hundred yards back. Z pulls along side, and the driver actually salutes. Never seen that before, pretty cool.
