I had a student last year in a 240Z with an LS1 and 6-speed swap. 327hp and 375ft-lbs to the wheels. Stock brakes with solid front rotors and rear drums. Ols BSP autox suspension setup. 195/14 Azenis tires. All at Watkins Glen. He said the engine was lighter than the orignal but the trans was heavier so overall weight went up 50lbs. Balance was still very good. Power amazing. Brakes, barely noticable. By the end of the day he was planning on a brake upgrade and bigger wheels/tires. I was impressed with how well the car handled such a big power increase.

I've always liked those cars. I had a 280ZX for about a month. I'd like another one but we'll see what happens.
