Doesn't the VG30 out of the Z31 have 160hp stock and the Z32 vg30de have 222hp?

The VG30E (1987 and later) in the Z31 made a little more horsepower and torque then the earlier VG30. In an ITS engine build it probably doesn't matter which one you start with, but if you're buying junkyard engines and running them its worth the effort to find the later VG30Es.
The VG30DE respopnds well to a typical IT build. Jim Thompson at Sunbelt probably knows the most about these engines. A well built and driven Z32 should give the BMWs fits.
BTW... anyone propsed classing the 2003 350Z in ITR? (ducks)

If you neglect the 240hp limit for ITR, the process puts that car at 4200 lbs...BTW... anyone propsed classing the 2003 350Z in ITR? (ducks)

Yeah, I kinda figured. Cal Club has a regional RS (radial sedan) class where the 350Z would have to run at 4,600 lbs with driver. I can't imagine the passenger floor supporting 1,000 lbs. of ballast. :eek:
