Weight destribution in Zs with SR20...

Well I read somewhere that a standard 240z has a weight distribution of 51:49 - almost perfect. Now consider a 240z with an sr20det in it - being a 4 cylinder (will seart completely behind the front axle) and having an all alloy design (meaning its lighter) it will alter the weight distribution significantly and from what I can see this alteration will make the car rear heavy, which in turn will lead to fun but not a very efficient handling dynamics on the racetrack.... On the other hand I keep hearing that 240Zs with SRs have great handling, could someone please explain to me how that works?surprised.gif

While I understand that its possible to cancel some of the rear-heavy effect through proper suspemsion setup, wouldnt it still be better to have close to 50:50 weight destribution?bandit.gif
