Yea..... custom exhaust taken off the lambo design.....loud as hell.... also makes a hell of a lot of power.... I know, I know...I should be trapping 125 and making low 11 sec passes soon... let me get some tires..... =) Anyone have any recommendations...?? thanks.... I want to put them on my stock 18inch track rims...Nice looking z by the way scarface....

 

why were you passing up the launch box? no wonder you chirped fourth gear...

 

people with T-netics run from 12.4 to 12.8 is not using DRs. I ran 12.7 on 18s street tires trapping at 113 mph. With DRs I think will be in the high 11s. But I think your car with traction will be in the mid 11s easily.

 

There is no point to do a huge burnout with street tires....just wasting your tires.....a little on like I did to get any water off them and warm them up a bit is all you really can do...

 

Thats pretty good then....I didn't know that... you ran the same as me but my trap was 118 and your was 113... shows that I'm burning out a lot more then the second half of the track when I finally have girp I make up my speed....what was your 60ft... and yea with dr's you could be in the high 11's I could be in the low 11s high 10s....

 

My 60' was 2.0 to 2.1 all day. I still have the stock clutch and is pretty worn out now.

 

Yea see my 60ft's were 2.2 and 2.3... they say every .1 on a 60ft equals to 2-3 tenths off quarter mile time depending on your power... so use that any figure out our times with an 1.5 or 1.6 60 ft...= baddass times for us get a new clutch and your times will go down even more...

 

Nice vid, Bigbri I like the center exit exhaust, sounds mean. In the race with the 2 Z's who's Z is it that I hear going down the track? Who runs 13's and who goes 14.5 I think it was?

 

Yeah Im going nuts! I havent driven the car in four months. I had a surgery so I was laid up for a few months. I should be done with the install today. But My new wheels wont be here until monday. Let me know if you need tires for the track. I have a buddy that owns a wheel shop.

 

Thanks ...my exhaust is loud as hell and it sounds mean... The z on the right is the one that runs 13.8 at 101... they both have only intake and exhaust so you probally hear them both....

 

Hook my up I need 2 18 inch dr.... 275/35/18.....let me know I'll go get the tires next week...what new wheels did you get....?? We should meet up and make some vids to put up of our cars racing and messing around.. your cars going to be quick...

 

I am down to go again, its getting alot cooler, and darker sooner, if it doesnt rain, this week should be perfect....I really think low 11's is possible Bry, I would ask Alberto on some advice on how to get those new tires warm and in prime condition. That day was a lot of fun though


Bamyi
I was the camera man, what do you mean I forgot to take my meds!?!?!

 

You sure you dont want 40's? Ill get a price tomorrow, I should be at the shop most of the day.

 

I dunno...if 40's would be better for grip... hook me up...40 or 35's anybody???

 

Sick car Bri...looks like you definately have traction issues with that beast lol. You're set up the way it is, can't be good for much more than a high 11 second run imo, and that's if you're doing everything right behind the wheel. I'm not sure what day these videos were taking, but if you're looking to get some good E.T's at Sac, you definatley need to go on a Friday, and not on Wednesday night bracket racing. Track prep on Fridays is 10x's better, because all the fast cars are out there going for 8 second slips. As far as tires go, the bigger the sidewall the better in your case. The BFG DR's are probably the most popular. The MT DR's are probably the stickiest DR, although I'm not sure if they make them in the sizes you're looking for.

To me it seems like a lot of these high hp Z need much longer gears than what is given stock. With the amount of torque a Twin Turbo VQ can make, the stock gearing is less than ideal, not to mention turbochargers like a longer gear to build boost against a load. Something around a 3.0 rear end would work awesome, but the 3.3 out of the AT is the lowest I'm aware of. I plan on doing a TT set up eventually with at least 500whp, and to me gearing is going to be critical in putting down any power. I come from the vette crowd, where if you put down 500whp you better be in the 10's lol. I understand these cars aren't meant for drag racing, but it seems like there are too many dyno queens around here. Sorry to ramble on haha...

 

Thanks bro....I was actually thinkin about changing the rear end.....something that would let me get about 10mph extra in each gear would be perfect...3.0 sounds good.....I need to get some tires with grip...And your right the track prep on wed was ****....I felt like I was on wet ground.. I get 3 times more grip on the street....

 

Hey bri,

Your car really hauled *** in the 1/8th. I think your car can do "low" 11's. I don't think you will hit it for a while tho. I do think you will get 11's tho. Its not as easy as it seems.

As far as your runs, as G352nv said, don't bother going to the strip with street tires. No traction what so ever. But, if you do, lower your tire pressure to 24-20psi otherwise you will get no traction. You should definitely get lower times once doing that.

Hitting a 1.5 -1.6 60ft is gonna take some practice, and a long burnout. I don't think its possible more like a 1.760ft. Get the 265/40/18 BFG Dr. It hooks up great. I got a 1.77 60ft and it hooks fine.

Dont trip about these people that think oh its got 500hp now it will fly. Its not any easier than hitting low 13's stock. Its all finess, something you will hopefully master soon, im still trying, its friggen hard. I should of ran an 11 a long time ago.

 

Thanks bro...finally someone that understands....your in the same boat I am... what did you run at what mph when you hit the 1.7 60ft??? When are you coming to sac so we take some vids of our cars running...??? So you think I should get the 265/40/18??? Instad of the 275/35/18??

 

Why, does the exhaust sound familiar? That 13 sec car has the Injen angled. The 14 sec car has a custom exhaust using Megan Racing mufflers. I agree with 03screamer, Sac raceway is NOT prepped on wednesday. Thats why traction is such an issue for some folks. If G352NV and Bigbri are gonna race, I'll be more than happy to film

 

Brian, get the taller sidewall. 10mm in contact patch will not help as much as an increase of 5%+/- in sidewall.
