I was at Morroso West Palm Beach, Fl last week for midnight madness. I ran a 14.01 at 99.6 mph in a stock auto on 19s( I'm not to sure of the mph I have to get the slip, but the Et is correct) . Wanted to know what has everyone else ran in there Zs stock at the track..

 

Can you scan and post time slips? Thanks.

 

Why dont you try the drag race section of the boards, you'll get better responses there. Fastest stock Z I think is a low 13.6 for a MT, I ran 13.77@101.4 @ a slower track out of the 2 I run at. Your times are decent, although the fastest AT Z was a 13.6 as well I believe...

 

Holy crap thats fast-13.6-. I will be posting up my slip sometime today. U running a 13.77 stock is awesome. Did you lower the tire pressure?

 

Yes, 27psi, I pulled a 2.05 60ft, my other 2 runs were 13.80 and 13.86. I really think if I would have ran at the faster track in MD, I could have gone high 13.5 @ 103 easy(I know of a stock Z that trapped 104 at this track I speak of-not the greatest driver either), but I will never know, unless somebody lets me borrow a stock Z for a run or two....

 

are you sure a stock AT Z ran a 13.6? I have seen a 13.8 stock and some fast auto's with bolt ons but I can't say I have seen any auto's run a 13.6 bone stock.

 

Yup, DomZ is his SN, from Jersey iirc. 13.6X now has a few mods and runs 13.4, he has one freak auto, Im sure he has his launch and shift points down...look him up, his times are in his sig. He posts a lot in the street race forum.

 

I ran my auto last year and was only able to hit 15.1. Auto sucks! I tried to launch it every diffenent way with no luck.

 

Very hard to guage your cars ability's in the 1/4 against others online.The reason is the altitude of the strips being run at.Alberto has a strip below sea level I believe he stated in another thread.Better way to compare is against other auto 350Z's in your area with comparable drivers.The one thing I always try to post with my times are the density alt. readins at the time.So don't be afraid you have a slow 350Z when comparing it online if you look you'll find more running your times than 13.6 stock.

 

Damnnnn lol do you brake torque? Light those tires up brake torque it at about 3000 and slowly let of the brake shold be good. I drove a Auto 05 with a pop charger and ran a 13.78 with a 2.0 60" and trapped at 103 which isin't bad at all!

 

I tried everything. Maybe the pop charger will make up a second or so. J/k. My local track is here in Palmdale, ca. High altitude I think. Maybe I will go today and give it another shot. Will try to post my results soon.

 

Correct on really comparing ones times to other tracks its like comparing dyno numbers from different dyno's, kinda dumb. And BTW, I dont have a strip below sea level, very close to it. Where I ran stock I believe is 350ft above sea level, the track where I ran 13.1 @ 107 is a little higher than that....

 

+1. Weather and track preparation are big factors. I’m always working to improve my ET rather than worry what other 350Z drivers are running.

 

its the track. i have been to LACR before, seen two z's run 15's. one 15.1, one 15.2. i was able to run a 15.4 in my bone stock V6 tacoma

 

Were the Z's running the same day as you?

 

LACR is not the greatest track to be getting 1/4 mile times on. Altitude of close to 3,000 feet and not including the temperture penalty. Best I ran on that track was 14.8@94 @ 93F (this was at night too). The launch pad isn't preped to well, but I like how the strip is easy on my car (I really don't get the lame wheelhop going into 2nd and some weird reason wheelhop on 4th gear compared to California Speedway).

Other than that, I see stock Z's run 14.5 to 15.2 on LACR on hot days. People tell me the Z's can reach the low 14's on colder days, but I haven't had a chance to visit LACR on a cold day yet.

 

3000 ft is a terrible altitude. Correction factor to sea level could be around .9640 ET 1.0381 MPH so a 15.1 would be around a 14.55.

 

Toss in the temperature factor and it sucks even more.

 

you wont be able to brake torque to 3000rpms on a stock torque coverter. our true stall on the 5AT z's is 1800rpms. with slippage you can get it as high as 2200-2300rpms, maybe a little more. but slippage does nothing for you anyway so dont let it fool you. anything past 1800 rpms on the stock torque converter is just added heat build up. have your stock converter box gutted, rebuilt and get your true stall raised to 3200 rpms. the easiest .5 tenths off your 1/4 mile run and not bad for a cost of around 1k. (.6 tenths in my case).

my best stock was a 14.197 at 98.4x mph. track temps where over 100 degrees at the time.

 

I launch at about 2300k. That puts me at 1.9's in 60'. Providing i don't spin.
I ran a 13.39 then put on a plenum, pop charger and 3.5 rear end and haven't been able to break 13.4 since. I think i need some ECU management. I have the UTEC ordered.
