Default Goin to the strip for the first time, single turbo built motor 350z

Well guys its me the guy thats had a bad past wit this car and finally built his motor, ive NEVER been to a drag strip to do the 1/4 mile. im going to be taking off my hres with pirelli rosso 305's and putting on my stocks that im running 265 dunlop sp R compound tires that i use for road course and stuff, they should hook up better then the pirellis. Now i tried a 3200 rpm launch wit the pirellis on low boost and they hooked up pretty well so i was thinking of trying that, what do you guys think??, i dont want to waste my time when im getting ready to go b/c waiting in that line i hear sux so i want to make everytime count.

Lol gonna tune to 502whp. Did you just pull that # out of your a$$? Good luck with the 500+whp on that turbo it will do something like 460-480whp MAX and over 500ft/lbs...Id be shocked if you hit a legit 500+whp. BTW dont dump the clutch slip it out of the hole and just shift as fast as you can at redline. You should be low 12's even on your street tires EASY.

BTW whats the boost on your low boost setting?

Well, at your low boost setting you were probably going to hook pretty decent, but now you are saying you are going to be tuning somewhere close to 502rwhp, ****, you better go get some drag radials lol...pull the brake fuse and heat those bad boys up, but we'll see how it goes with the 265 R compound...I think its going to go like this

Jeeze take it easy on him Alberto, lol, but take his advice, slip the clutch and ease out of the hole...good luck and make sure someone brings a vid camera and records you going down the strip so you can see what your doing right, and wrong!!

well im only at 8 right now, and were planning to go up to like 15-16, i called turbonetics and they said i shouldnt have a prob at all getting to 500+ and the turbo is efficient till about 21 or so so i have no worries, and slipping the clutch sounds like a pretty good idea, def gonna try that thanx. oh and cool yea i have a friend with a lightning that mite go also their is ALOT of cars going now lol its gonna be an interesting drive over and back thats for sure.

Sorry man I didnt mean to sound harsh. The reason I say good luck with the 500+whp is this:AAM tuned Modified Mags car--->built bottom end on a TN kit, fuel system, 550cc inj, EMU. Mike told me TN states it will push 20psi, and over 500whp but they found that really anything over 15psi is past its efficincy range, meaning no power, blowing HOT a$$ air. They could only get 46Xwhp and they got over 500ft/lbs. Not saying you cant get a little more, but almost 40whp more Id doubt it. Again good luck, and represent for the TN Z's
