Record for the xyz conjecture

The xyz conjecture by Lagarias and Soundararajan states that for coprime positive integer triples x, y, z such that x + y = z, the quality function Q*(x,y,z) = 3/2 (loglog z) / (log P), where P is the largest prime factor of xyz, has lim sup Q* = 1.

The best known value for Q* is 1.63904, from the example 1 + 4374 = 4375.

Here's an updated (May 14, 2012) short report on my further findings, as well as a file with 1737 examples with Q* > 1.4.

I challenge you all to find a better example.
