See, I'm in a different boat then both of you. Alberto, you have .3 on me at the track with the same 60', but you have 6mph of trap to separate us. I don't know how modding more will affect me.
I got mods that will help my top end, and have about the same trap with the same 60'. From what I understand, a spacer should show the most gains from 80-110, and the same deal with my gutted RT's but somehow I turned up with a high 101 again.
I even trapped higher stock than I did Tuesday night. I'm going to try for 13.3's at 102 next week, but I just don't know how much more I can do. I'm thinking its possible to get 1 more degree of timing out of my mess of an ECU if I add just a bit more 103 octane. After that, I'm going to try a higher stall, 3.53 gear swap, drive down to AAM for a tune, and possibly a valve body, but I don't have enough power for the trans slip on a shift.
I want to in the future future, like by next fall do cams and rod bolts...and get my rev limiter raised to 7400

If a driver scans and posts a time slip, I’ll give the post some attention. I can learn things from a time slip. On the other hand, if I driver just posts some numbers, I pay no attention to the post: anyone can pull numbers out of the air.

The guy just responded to my personal email i sent him. He is from Puerto Rico.
how many NA 350z's are in PR to begin with??
No brother no more on my 350Z is naturally aspirated. NO weight reduction
just the parts i mentioned. 60 ft 1.92 is good enough to run that time with
my parts
We are the fastest naturally aspirated 350Z in Puerto Rico.I think with that
parts only
in the USA to.I run with TT cars and they passed me in 3rd gear that good
for my car

3.91 would be WAY too much for an auto to handle, I'm trying to find a 6spd VLSD pumpkin from car-part but I keep gettng quotes like $700 and up, entirely too much.

Plus we know that site is full of liars. Thats the site you told me about that my info was up on, and I never even posted anything there. Funny thing is whoever added my times where 100% accurate but they screwed up on the date, when I went to edit it, somebody had password blocked my info

some civics had drug water everywhere
of course my car traps quite a bit higher and this z isnt a 110+ trapping car running a traction limited 108 like i was

and it is easy with headers and cams to break into the 12's with all bolt ons

When I was n/a, I had headers, test pipes, dual exhaust, Kinetix plenum and a popcharger and was ONLY running 14.1s. Granted, I have a 5AT, but its not going to be a full 1.3 seconds slower IMHO.

Zach its all about elevation, air, humidity, etc. I don't know what track you run at, but I can guarentee you its not on par with Cecil or Atco in terms of elevation, air, or track prep. Your car would be an easy 12 sec car up here.
edit: Believe it or not, the other guy I ran on my last 2 runs actually uploaded his slip because they were his personal bests. He was driving a newish Subaru Legacy GT, the thing has work done and is FAST.

yea wish i got my 12 sec NA run on tape. i wasnt expecting to do that good and i havnt gone back since. I doubt i could do it again being my car is heavier now and has less hp. (retarded timing, lower redline) + (nitrous tanks). I would say my car is around 13.1 now if i gave it my all.

I think its very possible to go high 12's N/A.
I ran 13.6's stock at Steele, and since have done only two mods, which brought me just below my best stock time at south Georgia Motorsports Park, which has not been a good track for times, while the weather was at least 40 degrees warmer, or I should say hotter, with around a 100 degree track temp, and 15 mph headwind.
I am hoping for a 13.3 or so at Steele once the weather cools, with just the two bolt ons I have, and after that I will see if I can get to high 12's with a few more changes, n/a.
