It will move. But that is a little much for the st. It really doesn't change it much until you put a load on it. I am going with a 3200 or 3400.

I totally agree, anywhere from 3200-3500 is perfect for these engines.

I have a 350z auto and i am putting a 3200 or 3400 in it. That should be plenty to keep you in your powerband. Also your 60ft will drop.

Im sure that Id get a better stall before I traded for a new car anyways. Thanks for the input.

The factory stall is already pretty high on this car with it being 2700-3000rpms depending on if the car is in 1st or reverse. I'd think going with 3,200-3,400rpms wouldn't be much of a jump. The only problem is that to give this car the stall it needs, it will be a slug around town.

You adjust it to your power adder. A well set stall is completely different then the stock. The stock one drops between shifts way to much. What is also pretty cool from the after market stall convert. is if you add a power adder you can always get it adjusted to how much power you are making.

the recomended tire pressure for MT ET Street Radials is 12 -16 psi for your size tire. You had way too much pressure in those babies....and yeah, get a 6 speed

3500 would be nice. yes the car will move well before 3k on the street. part throttle it might sit at 2500 when you are leacing an intersection

Pull the brake fuse and you can launch @ whatever you want.

The engine will not go over 3k with the foot on the brake in gear. Take the brake fuse out and it doesn't think the brakes are being applied. That's why people make the brake fuse mod kits, that and burnouts.

Sure about that? I can run it to the rev limiter with foot on the brake. That's how you do the burnout. I am confused. You dont want to launch at 3000+ rpm with the wheels already spinning?

I leave the fuse in and do burnouts over 6000rpm. Leaving the fuse in just cuts some of the power but doesnt stop you from going all the way to redline.


Your Z looks good, btw.

I'm not sure about the 6MT's but I know on my 5AT I couldn't hold the brake down and go over 3k and do burnouts..
