I just have one question. How much will a spacer help my times? I'd like to get the car down to maybe a 13.4 or 13.2 and i'll be satisfied.

Well expect around 8 to 10hp with a spacer. Not sure what that would do to your time. But you will have a stronger top end.

the altima didnt redlight according to his slip. If he did the r/t would have been a negative number. Anyways, you still ran faster than him he just beat you at the tree.

Nice driving. Whatever you are doing during the first 60- feet, keep it up.

The 5/16 spacer and exhaust increased about 1 mph in the 1/4 in my Z. Not much of a difference.

Interesting. I was thinking DR's and a spacer would put me around 13.6? I'm just looking for something to drop some tenths off N/A.

yea dr's should for sure drop your time. then you would be able to stomp on the gas after letting of the break more rather than peddling it until you get grip with the tires you are now running.

Why would you do a burnout on stock tires? That wouldn't do anything.
