Last NA Run Before turbo...
So I went to Irwindale tonight to do one more N/A Track event before the twins arrive next week and I am happy to say that I went out with a personal best of 8.825 at 80.45 mph 60 foot was only a 2.003 which actually is also a personal best in my Z but since I'm running et streets this needs to get better. Only performance mod is the Crawford Plenum which I proudly installed myself this morning.
here was my best run:
RT---.542
60'--2.003
330'-5.742
1/8--8.825
mph-80.45

congrats on your personal best! impressive
i know how it feels to work at it until you reach a goal time
i had my personal best thursday. i doubt my track is prepped anywhere near as good as irwindale but i ran a 9.1 @ 79mph
are you on street tires? what rpm do you usually launch at? i find with the way i slip the clutch i get too much wheel hop over 1500K. so if i can edge that a little higher maybe to 2K and get a clean launch im sure i can run a 9.0 at my track. and thats sayin alot! its gotta be the track im at. ive got an automatic C6 that has no wheel spin and perfect launches and i cant run a 60ft time better than a 2.03 at my track!
What altitude is Irwindale?

I'm running MT ET Streets which are basically slicks and am launching at around 4000 rpm. I'm still working on feathering the clutch a bit more in order to avoid the damn bogging

ok your times make more sense to me now ,yeah with those type tires you can get away with launching it that way
ive got potenza SO3's with my nismo wheels and if i launched at 4k id spin off the damn track or burn my clutch up trying to over slip.
i dont think i can do better than about a 2.1 even 60ft time on those tires on that particuler track,
good luck with your turbos

Is Irwindale at high elevation? You should be able to pull sub 2.0 60ft's with slicks even on a really bad launch. Are you heating them up enough? Pulling the fuse? I ran a 8.8X 1/8 mile stock, down to the tires, you should be better than that<----if your track is near sea level.

I have a fuse switch but my burnouts especially that day sucked. I'm still getting a hang of this. They don't put enough water in the box and so you stick too fast.
However I believe my real problem is the launch, I keep on bogging. I think I'm dropping the Clutch too fast I need to feather it just a bit.
I don't think you'll see anyone out here doing 8.8's stock on street tires...

I'm running at 16 psi, and have been launching at 4000 RPM . I got the JWT Clutch so I'm not too worried there. Even though I have the upgraded Axles I am a bit reluctant launching at higher RPMS

hmh....didn't you just make the statement that you're afraid to fry your clutch???
I am just being cautious, I don't believe racing is about destryoing your car...pushing it and yourself to the limits yes but planned and controlled, that's the challenge.
One step at a time, every time I've gone to the track my time has improved and it will continue to do so.
Dropped off the car this morning, in one week I'll be FI'ed

Lol, I worry about it hell yeah, but when I go to launch I dont go easy on it
Its my only transportation now my beater will be done in a few weeks, then I can do whatever....you have a good clutch/fw set-up and upgraded axles man, let the parts work for you
Let us know when your car is done....
