I ran this on a 75 shot..I'm tuning it for a 200...We will see

 

Congrats-nice time. I'm sure i'll run into you at the track someday soon. The more 350z's out there the better! I guess i need more mods to keep up, but i'm staying all motor for a while longer.

 

How is your car running with a 75shot? How often do you spray?

 

Congrats man! welcome to the 12's, now it's time for the 11's

 

This car pulls good with the 75 shot ... I was always worried bout putting a bigger shot with out proper tuning.. NOW I got AEM Wideband , Walbro 255 F.P , HKS Super AFR .. Ain't Scared NOW..

 

Great e.t for a 75 shot. How much more sluggish does the car feel n/a with the lowered compression? Have you run it rebuilt n/a? Nice time, get your 60ft down another tenth, and up to a "measly" 100 shot and you'll be shifting into 5th for sure...

 

I ran it all motor, it ran a 13.24 at 106mph

 

very cool.
Your 60' foot is very impressive

 

lemme get this straight...you have 8.5:1 compression pistons...and you ran 13.2@106mph NA??????

 

YES..!!

 

I find that really REALLY hard to believe. A Z with all your power mods and stock compression would probably trap around 106mph. But with 8.5:1 compression you're looking at a 30-40hp LOSS over stock normally aspirated. Have you dyno'd?

 

i dont think he would lose that much over the stock compression, plus the cams would make up for a lot. I just dont understand why you would spray a low compression motor...are you waiting for F/I or something??

 

Going from 10.3:1 compression to 8.5:1 is a big deal. The cams might make up for most of the power loss from a compression drop, but that still doesn't explain the 106mph trap since all of the other mods combined could hardly add up to 30-40whp gains...he'd need around 270-280whp to trap 106. I don't understand dropping the compression for nitrous either. The stock motor has proven it can handle WELL OVER a 200shot.

 

sorry to jack the thread,

I love the look of those rims on your car. so clean! you going to be at the windy city/gateway z meet this year? was looking forward to last years but you didn't make it. I hear plans of maybe taking a trip up north past chicago down a country road to some place... still in the works though.

 

PM me....I'd like to know about the meet...

 

He ran that time without the nitrous becuase of his MT street ETs. You used slicks on that run right? I think it would be possible. Look at all the mods in his sig plus slicks!

 

I ran with a 100 shot and did not shift to 5th...

 

I shift into 5th everytime near the end.. why I am looking for gears now.

 

Sucks for you(if you have a 6mt), if I had 100 shot, Id be pissed if I didnt trap over 112...

 

The slicks (or ET streets) can drop 1/2 second off your quarter. Just look at the launch, alot of good times (stock) on street tires have a 2.1 60' and he got 1.8 so ya...

I only have to ask 1 question, you are running 8.5 compression now, but I don't see any FI on your sig. are you planning to get TT or SC soon? If I was gonna run n/a with nitrous I would, if anything, raise my compression.

Gratz on the 12's, the "relatively" low trap everyone is talking about is due to the loss of horsepower running 8.5:1 compression. You got great traction/launch so now your 1/4 looks like a honda no trap for your low ETA hehe.
