The All-Motor Nissan 350Z's VQ35DE - Super Street's Honda F22A

This is especially scary when we think about the turbocharged big-bore Chevy that Ace Machine is building for Lowrider. That monster is destined for last place on power per liter, but it's going to be hard to beat here. We can only wait and see what Cosworth has learned during 50 years of engine building.

We're going to make power way quicker than the little turbos and carry it to much higher revs than the pushrod behemoth. We need to do well here. Those are 30 points we can't afford to lose.

We're at the mercy of the judges for the next one. Three experts will allocate 30 points to the engine they deem has the best build quality and craftsmanship.

If we get some real engineers on this, we're in good shape. We'll have CAD designs and flow charts documenting where our power comes from. If Vida Guerra from Livin' the Low Life is one of the judges, we're in trouble. Nobody can beat the lowriders when it comes to gold plating and they're going all the way.

On the challenge website, SyntecTopShop.com they're talking about spraying the block with candy paint. We don't think we're going to convince Cosworth to go there.

The final category is all or nothing. The engine has to survive a 30-minute drive cycle on the engine dyno. Surviving gets 100 points. Failing gets none. Our motor will pass this test no mater how hard they push it. We can only hope that the motors really get worked. Perhaps some of our Long Beach GP telemetry would make for a good throttle program.

That's good for 73.8 percent. We're right at 44 votes for one percent. The odds are stacked against us, but do you really want to win an Accord motor?
