Default First few runs at local strip.... only a popcharger.

03 touring, with kazera 18" rims and dunlop tires (nothing too great). only mod is a jwt popcharger.
temp. about 40 degrees.

first run, tried doing a burnout just to warm up the tires from the cold night.... forgot to turn off the stability control and couldnt do a burnout.
missed third and ran 15.5

second run did better, good burnout, good shifting and rev matching, terrible launch. 2.5 sixty foots first two runs. ran a 14.6

third run, stalled in the burnout once i hit the brakes to hold it, pulled up to the tree and it was already starting so i just revved up and dumped it pretty much, got a 2.2 sixty foot and ran a 14.3 at 98.98mph.


any feedback? i thought 14.5 was avg. for stock but i see people claiming mid to high 13's bone-stock.......whats really average?

Its difficult to offer suggestions without seeing the time slips but...

I assume that this is your first time at the track? Congratulations. I see times of 15.5 and 14.3 seconds so at least you are going in the right direction. I have an envelope from my first season, 2004, filled with 14.3 second slips. No big deal. Practice. You will get better.

BTW the average time for a stock 350Z? There is none. Just work on your game and don't worry what anyone else is running.
