Check out Z on PistonHeads
I spent £1400 on a uprated box around 2003 and with the ALC it certainly shifts, 361bhp at the hubs,12.94 1/4 mile,184mph in 1.25 miles too,it ran at Rockingham and did 174mph on the banked circuit,also had Sport 500 tubs,555 inj,big SMCs,bloody mental it was,was running a JWT chip but blew two engines,last engine i had it on dyno only to find that the JWT was running lean as hell top end rpm,soon got rid of that and got a JD one:D Tony:)

Exhaust
Idealy zero back pressure is optimum for a Turbo,around 4" or even more especialy on high powerd cars around 700bhp or more,but the noise is going to be awfull,and your turbo has to be up for it as the seals will soon allow oil passed them,so 2.5" to 3" best suited. Tony

peeling laquer on alloys
Use a fine wet and dry, p800 ok,lightly rub the area as to blend in the laquer edge down to the painted area then polish back up the area with T-Cut,Scratch X etc.

Tyre pressures
As you have a good low profile sidewall you will be ok at the pressures Dan says,but remember that tyre pressure increases when they get hot on the track,so in reality the pressure will be cold 36 psi,hot around 42-44psi,if you find that after a run its a bit skittish drop them around 8psi to give you back the cold value,tho with your tyre size you should be ok,if its dry conditions.If you have fairly new tyres drop them down 10psi or more as the block tread will get very hot and the grip will be rubbish,to be honest all cars are different,especialy on track days,whats good for some will be not be for others,trial and error in most cases.The cars weight,geometry,handling,etc etc all come into the equation too.Looks like the Z should be well suited to Croft as its got 3 good straights and only a few twistys.Have fun :cool: Tony

Grrrrr Power Mode!
Well i have driven both,and i do prefer the auto,tho it can have quirky moments,(and if memory serves a ALC will hold the rpm better)i find that the best way when having fun is to have the O/D off,forget the power hold it comes on anyways when you WOT,and if you can do it when all around you is chaos,keep ya foot on accel and use the brake pedal to slow when needed,when you take ya foot off does the mother fly:D Tony
