The lowest was the '84-'86 Mileage option with an HF 33. Don't forget the Z24 is a torque monster so low gears are OK.

 

I am noticing that the 720 most of your driving is in 3rd and fourth. I started noticing a difference in my acceleration when I starting shifting between 3,500-4,000 RPM instead of 2,000-3,000

If you are in a hurry or merging up to 4k will work. The Z series heads don't breath very well and high revving is limited to around 4K. Sometimes it's run out of steam about then and an up shift hits the max torque in the next gear. But to be fair it was designed for highway speed, low rev, high torque, low emissions.  It's very good at that.

Watched it on youtube.

Do you have a weber? or is that the stock carb?

I think my 20-60 is roughly 25 seconds. I'll check it out tomorrow but I also have much larger tires than you. 

Yes that is with the Weber. Do you have a Weber?

Not yet. Saving up for one right now. Should have it installed in a couple weeks. I am currently also building a house so money has to stretch for life, the house, and my Datsun. More than likely I am going to buy one for christmas
