just out of curiosity are there any wothwhile cams to drop into a NA 300zx? It just seems like there isnt much talk about it unless its for the TT conversion. Im pretty new to 300s so correct me if im wrong

 

What 300zx?
Z31, or Z32?
I know MSA auto has some for the Z31. Turbo and NA.

sorry forgot to mention z32...

 

he is in the z32 section

 

its Z32 its obviously in the Z32 section. however do a little search in the Z32 section theres a sticky "how to make the NA faster" realistically, theres no worth while mods for a Z32 than aesthetic ones. get and exhaust for the sound/look and then just make her pretty. read up on that thread i mentioned though. its LOOONGGG but you'll get the jist of it pretty quickly.

 

and no, its not really worth it. with cams, tuning and full boltons, you will probably only see 230whp

 

^^What they said.

Modding an NA never gets you really far for the cost. But to answer your question directly, of course there are cam options available for the NA that'll increase performance... it just won't increase it by much for the $600+ that you'd spend on the cams alone.

 

Sorry. I was watching new thread. Didn't read that it was in the Z32 section.
But... How often do people post in the wrong areas to begin with? lol


Get a VG30DETT.
They are not too expensive.
By the time you make that VG30 as powerfull as the DETT, you would have spent more than getting the VG30DETT.

 

This is true.

 

What everyone else said..

Unless your danPA who was running 12's all motor in his NA.. =-). If your planning on going super performance, then build your motor, while your doing that check out what the best cams will be and do the research.

Other wise, do your basic, IEU (intake, exahust, under drive pulley), get an ECU, and be done. With those mods if you have a strong running NA motor, you'll be in the 14's. (I was at least 14.99 =-)... friend was running 14.7's in his NA, same mods, about 90k less miles than my motor though.

note, an na z32 is still pretty zippy. I beat some of the older mustang GT's (with the vertical and horizontal round tail lights) and SS camero's / TA's (the ones with the LT1, not the LS1 of corse). mustangs with the square vertical tail lights and newer you will more than likely lose unless they suck at driving.

Either way, an na z32 is fast enough for daily driving.

 

Blasphemy!
