It looks the business and sounds the part. You can put this down on the list of things I'm into.

Sounds like a lot of cam overlap for a turbo?

I agree.
Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall,torque is how far you take the wall with you.

James Stephens' turbocharged 1972 Datsun 240z is featured on the latest episode of Hoonigan Autofocus! I had the pleasure of hanging out with Larry and his crew for this photo/video shoot. Thanks you James for building an iconic Z car, and for letting me rip a burnout in it! More to come from Larry Chen Photo's visit to ZCG soon. Enjoy the video!
