This is a homebuilt twin turbo " blow through " system on a 409 cubic inch Chevy small block engine in a 72 Datsun 240 z. The car is Street Legal due to emission excemptions and is used for cruising, car shows, and drag racing. It is a Sleeper since it uses a full Exhaust system and mufflers.

A little slide show and video showing the process of converting my carburated 240Z to an Electronic Fuel injected blown monster.
240Z vs. the Ozark Mountains
Some [conservative] horseplay in my 1971 3.1L 240Z before putting my new race motor away for the winter. This is NOT a performance driving video, just some fun on an awesome road.
This is first time I've driven the road, so I'm a little more confident after 3:00. (I found it on Google Earth then trailered my car there.)
Some highlights, since it's not exactly a concise video:
1:55 downhill stretch, crossing Beaver Lake
2:40 more aggressive driving begins
4:00 scared myself a bit
4:40 traffic encountered
5:00 engine vs. open highway
Referenced walk-around video of my L6 motor:

240z vs Rx7
This was the third session of the day in HPDE3 on April 25, 2010. We saw this Rx7 zipping around all weekend and finally caught up with it. Both drivers were testing their limits and it was quite exciting being in the car and experiencing this "battle" firsthand. Gee-Force Z spider got a good workout too. Until next time little blue Rx7!
