Default Very Happy with my Over all performance...

Well basicly what you see on the 2 slips is the difference from a stock Z and one with the Injen CAI and the SES Exhaust system. These are the 2 best times i was able to hit with in the 2 forms the car was in. I have a 2006 Touring. The races are at LARC so the times, if calulated at sea level, are STOCK: 14.725 With Mods: 14.284

BTW, Both times i had about (give or take) 3/4 tank of gas.

Your 60fts seem to have made the most difference. You could trim a lot more off with a better launch. Save your money for a driver mod.

lol you guys arent from cali thats why. LARC Dragway is like almost 3,000 feet above sea level so that car runs slower due to the higher elavation. ask anybody else out there from cali thats been to LARC and they will tell you the same thing. i ran with an 03 DBZ. he had intake and short shifter and his best time was 14.5

I don't know what to say. That is stock Spec-V time.
Even if calculated at sea level, they still suck. Not to flame....

i dont know man. all i can say is i have never seen a stock z hit low 14s or high 13s at LARC. that track is ****, beleive me. horrible track conditions, bad weather, above sea level, a$$holes as employees. what more can i say? its just that its the closest and its open every week.

Exactly
Elevation kills your times... thats why I ran 13.4 @ 104mph on a 2.1 60ft @ 3200da....
However the converted times to sea level should reflect what everyone else gets though.

You can clearly see what happened on those timesslips regardless of elevation. His times are 'high' simply because his 60fts are high.

Yeah 3000ft elevation is pretty brutal... add in some bad weather and he could have a perfect run (13.7 at sea level) and his slips would only show a 14.5.... It's really hard to get a good comparison with the difference in DA.

LACR is the worlds worst drag strip. that being said my car with intake headers under drive pulley cat deletes and spacer went 13.9@100 mph with a 2.1 60 ft. its not only the elevation that makes lacr suck. its the head wind. crappy bumps in the tracks surface. dust on the track and no VHT that makes it suck so bad. to the OP there is still some improvement to be made with your time better 60 ft should help. also try to stage in the right lane. the left lane is always covered in dust. good luck oh by the way my time is uncorrect.

Good luck bro... I can see you easily drop off a huge amount of time with just a little more bite from the line... Even at LACR
