1/4 miles times for bolt-on's , cam's , and tune???
 

what is the average quarter mile time for a z with with full bolt on's , cams , and a good tune? in optimum conditions.

I never tracked my z yet, but im sure with my mods and power I can get into the 12s in my auto.

Sincerely Glen

i havent seen anyone run with those mods yet. I would think a z could get into the lower 12's with those mods and minor weight out

low 12's?! im not considering forced induction a bolt on, or nitrous.

FYI lots of the bolton Zs i used to race with at the track run high 12s and 13.0s at 105-107

this was 1-2 years ago.

Id imagine with traction/tune/cams/good driving you would see 12.4-12.6 at 107-110

I personally have not seen the gain that cams can give, just dynoes of cammed cars on dyna packs which gives me no true idea of what kind of gains they give.

driving and traction are key 95 percent of auto enthusiests will not ET well and will throw more and more power at their problem while not running much quicker but buy creating more traction issues and only trapping a lil higher.

WOW! Looks like my numbers

but your trap should be 118+

there are the guys that have the money to throw power at a car and go low 12s, anyone can go 12s with enough power. Then there are the people who dont have the money and have to learnm to drive there way there ;)


its when you put both together that you run 10s:)

13.6 maybe

You're saying that a 350Z with full bolt-ons, cams, clutch, etc, AND a good tune in an ideal condition will ONLY run 13.6?

I'd say low 13s.

so low to mid 12's is what it should run in ideal conditions huh.thats pretty good, exactly what i was looking for, and actually is helping me decide in getting the car. i had an audi with a t28 on it before this, and it was very unreliable. so im looking to stay n/a and have a pimp ass car at the same time, that can pull on stock or even slighlty modded evo's and ****. it def. could if they can run high 12's with baaad traction issues off a roll

Here is my timeslip from my 95 Maxima N/A with a 3.5, cams and headers. Its also a 4 spd automatic.

Just out of curiosity what are your times?

with sliks or without?

Right on...I trapped 107mph with stock headers and a mail in flash, def enough for 12's I just never launched it hard enough back in the day.

Jime-dont you spray on slicks? What shot?

No spray this is N/A but with FWD I do have slicks. However this fall I will put the nitrous in and see what it will do with a 150 shot.

My 2k2 Maxima did a best of 13.3 N/A but the 95 is lighter and the cams help as well. I still think it has a 12.3 or 12.4 capability when the weather cools down.

How much does the car weigh in race trim?

Haven't weighed it yet but my closest guess is around 2650. Also I don't have any VTC because I am using the 95 ECU.

The splparts.com ran a 12.9 with SPL intake system - JWT intake, SPL intake pipe, Varis duct
SPL custom lightweight battery/relocation
Crawford intake plenum (early version), ported throttle body
Crawford headers
Topspeed cat delete pipes
Fujitsubo Y-pipe
5Zigen ProRacer A-Spec single exhaust
JWT flywheel/clutch
UR pulley

Wow that is LIGHT. Thats approx 475 lbs lighter than my Z in race trim.

Ya, there is a couple of people on here with VQ35 maxima's and they are getting really good times. They are really impressive.

I definitly think with full bolt-ons, cams and some dr's, you should be able to run mid high 12's with a trap speed of about 110 and maybe up. That would be a pretty fun car. With all that money invested though, you could have probably afforded some sort of F/I, but I here ya on terms of reliability. Thats my biggest reason for wanting to stay away from boost. Nothing a little nitrous couldnt help though!!!
