I sold mine long ago but I used to irritate lots of faster cars! LOL.
Over the years I ran different engine configurations but nothing as fast as your LZ.
L16 SSS with dual Weber DCOE 40's, then stock L16 with TO4 turbo, and then while in college I needed more reliability so I went with a single DCOE 40 for easier tuning.
I sometimes dream about getting another one... :!:
