Well, 431whp with approx 15% loss, computed to get a number (507.57chp) to get percentage gain from the original 150HP yields an increase of 358hp... or a power increase of 238% OVER the original.

Perfection in a 240z is what you've done. What the engineers at Datsun wanted X1,000,000
I'm sure since you are almost a year into it you're ready to sell. PM if interested
Wow your dedication made me tired just flipping thru the thread. Awesome.

Thank all you guys a ton. So much.
Unfortunately, now THIS car needs to go. Geesh.
Essentially, I built this car while I also had my supercharged 997S, thinking that I'd never come upon the need to sell the 911. Well, money ran out (this resto took way more money than I ever expected) and I HAD to finish the Z. Stopping midstream would be a tragedy. So I was forced to sell the 911 to have the money to finish it.
Now that the Z is done, all I want is a track car. This one would be AMAZING out there, but since so much of my money (and hair lost from stress with it) is tied up in it, I can't make myself take it to the track. The car is absolutely perfect right now.
So I'm putting it up for sale. I want a track car. I'll entertain trades for stuff less pristine that won't keep me awake at night worrying about it.

Thanks again, guys. Pass it around to your buddies, please!
