Hey Jon, Congrats on the runs, too bad the u-joint gave up. I guess next it will be Pinks All Out in Bristol Tenn.? We are planning on attending / participating. Jerry is in Tenn. now, I think he is planning on calling you and will be stopping by to see you. John

Sweet!!!!!!

Keep on, don't leave us hanging...... Did Jon loose his car? More details please..... John

Congrats Dale...... I can still remember my 1st big project back when I was 16 with my 1969 Chevelle..... I know exactly how you feel.... Hey by the way it only gets better. Wait till you give it a spin around the block. Look forward to seeing the finished project at SEZ next year. John

BRAAP, everything you said is true... I all depends on what he is building. I built my 350 for street / strip duty, but have been doing only strip. I was amazed at the power HP and instant torque the roots blower made. I did alot of home work before my build. I would call Grumpyvette a master and yourself. I just know the old style SBC well and that’s the engine of my choice. I have had a lot of years of experience and knowledge of them and how to make them run. I am just a simple plain country Southern boy who likes to drag race. You made some excellent points about exhaust, the blower has no problem with getting fuel to the intake side, but you have to be able to get the exhaust out, so exhaust is the restriction in a supercharger application. Need to run the biggest exhaust valves / headers you can manage. Our cam is on a 110 centerline with a duration is 255/270 lift is 572/574 with 1.5 rockers, I am running 1.6 ratio rockers so it gives me 610/612. Heat is also a factor with a roots supercharger, the more boost you give it the more heat, so you have to give up something to get something, you have to find the combination that works best for your application if you are running gasoline. If Alky is the fuel then poor on the boost...... BRAAP thanks for the kind words... John

Warren, THANKS for the information. I wil give Jon a call tomorrow, I am headed to Nashville on Sunday, I am planning on stopping by and visit with Jon on Monday if it all works out.Thanks again for the link.Jerry

Yes, we are running stock suspension(NISSAN,DATSUN) that is. We are using the 300ZX turb cv axles. When we were running the stock haftshafts(u-joint style) we went a 5.82 @123mph in the 1/8th and a 9.21@153mph in the 1/4. I think that is pretty fast on stock haftshafts. My VOTE for the fastest street driven stock suspension Z would be for (MIKE), ZGAD you are DA MAN. I said it before and I will say it again I think it is cool to go fast on STOCK STUFF (suspension). Lets not foget about RIP and the ZEBRA Z ,I don't know how fast Rip went on haftshafts but he is flying on cv axles. He told me he has been a 5.63 in the 1/8th with the single carb motor . I have not talked with Rip in a while to find out how the twin turbo SBC is running now, before the last SEZ event he did tell me it put down 130mph in the 1/8th. Jerry:mrgreen:

Hey Adi0o0o, You can check out my website at www.jnjdragracing.com, look at www.jnjdragracing.com/engine.htm, It shows my engine build for a 6-71 roots supercharger. You will need a strong bottom end, the 6-71 makes a lot of instant power. 350 block must have 4 bolt main, main studs, head studs, good rods, good crank, crank needs to have double keys. If you are interested in truly doing a 6-71 you need to call JR at RBSSuperchargers 530.292.3368, they do all my supercharger work now. They have good prices on blowers, used blowers etc. If I can help let me know. John

I would have to agree with Scottie, Z-Gad is the fastest street driven car. My money would be bet on him..... John

Wish I would of known sooner. Our car is down for work being done to it. But we could of visited. I am Leaving town this weekend...... How does the weather feel here in SC compared to Texas. John

I voted, nice Datsun..... John

Good luck as well Wayne...... I hate to see it go. Are you sure you want to sell it? You can never have too many play toys...... John

Jon, Cograts on a GREAT JOB. My Brother told you won the race. I hate I did not Reply sooner , You spent the weekend racing ,I spent it at the Hospitol, I would have rather been racing. BEST OF LUCK !!!! Jerry.

Congrats on the win Jon, can't do no better than that. John

We would say ZGAD is the Man..... John and Jerry:burnout:

I purchased the magazine last week, I love your car,and enjoyed the article. I would be very proud. Great job!!!! :2thumbs:. jerry

Congrats on them mighty fine numbers. Way to go.... John

Good luck to you Jon and your crew. Take it too them......... John and Jerry.

Here is our Zcar at Pinks all Out in Rockingham N.C. John

What size and type of carb are you using? I going to try a single turbo setup and am looking for any help.Congrats on a Great pass. Jerry

Looking good....... I liked the picture. Seems to be running well. Congrats.... John

I installed a 240Z bumper on out 280Z, I had to alter and cut the exsisting brackets etc. to make it fit. The 240Z bumper is narrower if I remember correctly. I had to bend / flex it some to make it fit. But it did fit. John

Stony, Jon Phillips gave me the part number of a Koni struts he is using on the small tire car and they are adjustable, I just pulled my folder and I can't find the part#. You can send Jon a message and get the numbers, if I find them I will forward them to you.Jerry

I was the only Zcar. All out means no sand bagging. They try to find the closet times on 16 cars and run them until 8 cars are left, then they get a $1000.00 each to use for bets on the next round and so on. I know you have seen the show ( Pinks all Out ) on Speed cahnnel..... John

I just updated my website: www.jnjdragracing.com It has updated info on our runs at SEZ#8 and the Pinks all out - Rockingham. Just wanted to inform everybody... John
