Alberto are you going to get cams and/or headers? If so, which ones? I'm curious to see how you do with those additions mainly because you've had dynos, as well as, track runs all the way through your mods. Actually, I'm more interested to see how they affect your runs because that's more "real world" than what a computer spits out. Tischer told me they'd have to drop the tranny to replace headers so I figure when the time comes to replace the clutch, I'll install a JWT setup and headers at the same time. However, I still haven't decided on the header. It seems like there's too much BS out there to get honest opinions on a decent header that will make a real world difference. IMO the difference in your times would be evidence enough for me.

1st run:
60ft - 2.216<----Worst I have pulled ever, usually pull 2.0's.
1/8 - 8.889 @ 83.58
1/4 - 13.585 @ 106.17 <----Very happy with this trap speed
2nd run: I mounted up some used slicks I bought-my first run ever with slicks, please excuse the weak a$$ 60ft, I didnt pull the brake fuse I barely warmed them up....
60ft - 1.956 <----Weak I know
1/8 - 8.481 @ 84.51
1/4 - 13.136 @ 107.09 <---This is the highest n/a trap speed Ive personally seen/heard of on here for a Z
3rd run: Pulled the brake fuse, warmed up the tires more, and what do you know I fuked it up-I bogged bad off the line, I dropped the clutch at about 6000 rpm's, I should have slipped it some, anyways...
60ft - 1.895 <----Better but still $hit imo
1/8 - 8.467 @ 83.87
1/4 - 13.161 @ 106.15
Overall I am VERY happy with the traps Im pulling, especially considering I dont have headers or cams. I am also very happy for going 13.1 on a weak 1.9 60ft, Ive seen guys go 1.7's and run 13.0-13.1. I really wanted to keep running on street tires because with my usual 2.0 60ft, I would have been 13.2-13.3 easy. And if I would have hit my mid to low 1.7 60ft like I wanted to on the slicks 12.8's are not out of the question. I just need more time to learn how to launch them, play with tire pressure's ect, Ill go 12's this season for sure For those that dont know my mods are : JWT Pop-charger, Crawford Plenum, Test-pipes, Crank Pulley, Injen Exhaust, Technosquare ECU---this set-up = 262 whp 252 ft lbs SAE corrected on a dynojet. Comments, suggestions? All are welcome....
**BTW I have a videos of the runs, Ill post the 13.1 @ 107 run later today or tomorrow.

I do find it a bit odd though that the MPH stayed at 106 on the last run compared to the first non slicks run.
Usually when you shave off that much time on your 60 ft your trap speed goes down.
Were the slicks a different diameter than the street tires?
Overall the trap speeds seem awfully fast for your dyno of 262 RWHP. Is the car lightened up?

In fact...on really bad 60's my trap DROPS significantly because I've wasted track with wheelspin.

Great driving Alberto!
One question: I used to power shift my old beater all the time but I'm too chicken to do it on my Z33. Doesn't power shifting but a bunch of wear and tear on your tranny/clutch?
And keep the kill videos coming-they're very fun to watch!

Its the stock pressure plate, iirc they gave me a new friction disk when I had the 2nd tranny put in. So its 1/2 stock 
And still holds 6000 rpm launches and powershifts over and over...

I have no fing clue what you just said

So, you just took off the stock ECU and sent it to technosquare and they tuned up the ECU right?

Dont look into getting an ecu until you mod some, and your car is running lean, an ecu on a stock car or basically stock car will yield little to no power gains imo.
