we actually have two auto supercharged Zs here in orlando that are both low 12 sec cars on stock potenzas. they both pull 1.9s every run and one or two 1.8s autos and superchargers seem to be a good combo. everyone i know with the 6 speeds and supercharged down here just spin like crazy....

Yeah superchargeg's car is quick, but anybody not on DR's or slicks was spinning BAD, track prep sucked and it was cold. I was lucky enough to have a forum member run against me on the 11.98 and 12.0 pass *** you can see from the pic above

some of them say there in the 400 rwhp range and still only run high 12's???

So it's really good to see a Z that only claimed 390 rwhp that ran an 11.9 ( about right for a 3300 pound car with 390 rwhp IMHO on slicks)

for a while there with all the big dyno numbers and slow ET's I thougt that you guys were gonna end up going the way of the Supra..But YOUVE defiently proved that one wrong...

Congradulations and I cant wait to see what you run in normal conditions on the race gas...11.5's anyone?????

SICK
thanks man, congrats yourself on recently breaking into the 12's @ a slow track...

Booger-lol, everybody tells me that, I dont lift off the throttle, its just that the way I shift when I grab 4th especially it looks like I lift my leg, and my upper leg does move, but trust me the gas is to the floorboard. You didnt hear a BOV did ya?

Nice times there! Your hand placement during the shifts is different than I am used to. You really bang the shifter into the gate. The only drawback is that if you miss a shift, it's going to grind hard.

hmm interesting, people have told me it's impossible to get a SC Z to run low 12's even with over 400whp because the tq isn't as strong as a turbo

i actually was there when cj350 ran his 12.4 at 112 on his stock rims with stock tires even stock air pressure. pm him for details, next level performance did his install here in florida. also ZUL8R (matt) has the same setup with a return fuel system and kinetix plenum and is running similar times. both auto Zs with systems, crazy, they both pull consistent 1.9s on their stock tires and matt even pulled a 1.89 on friday night.... both nice guys if you have any questions....

All the fast S/C's Ive seen have been Prochargers-now stop thread hijacking....

Max-my hand placement works great for me, I just align my arm up with the gate Im going into and I very rarely misshift....but yes when I do

Nice Runs!

There's a nice lesson here for all the high-hp, dyno racing 350Z's out there......Good Tires + Good Driving = Good ETs.

Bert = Cingular, raising the bar. Awesome job man. With your race setup you will be close to needing a cage, or you can just start visiting other tracks around the area

Running mid 10's A/F, and 20+ mph headwind will do that to your trap Dont worry it will improve, we are still fine tuning this temperature compensation....
