cool, thanks - I'll try it.

 

anyone have tips on launching an auto? my best launch was like 2.1 with most being between 2.2-2.3. I was hoping to get down below 2.0

 

Get a TC and you will launch much better. I prestage..get my rpms up to 3500 which puts me already into boost..I then stage, build the rpms to 3700 and then put my foot through the floor when that last yellow light comes on. I have been consistant with 1.7 60'...seems to work for me

 

Oh yea..I always stage last so I can go thru my little routine at my pace..

 

are you running a SC setup? And how many tenths would you attribute to the TC?

 

APS TT..knocked off 2/10ths off my 60'....

 

great info... can't wait to get back to the track to try this. before i was braking and giving it a little gas but not near enough to be into boost at all becaus i didn't wanna F$%$ anything up. If I can get down to a 1.7 60ft I'll be in the 12's which was my goal

 

Without a TC upgrade(stall) you're not going to be able to get your RPMS up as high as I do.On the stock TC anything over 26-2800 rpms(somewhere around there) you're just going to break the tires loose while your sitting on the line.

 

Forgot the most important part..I'm on D/R's that are as bald as slicks.

 

well i tried it today and it works. I don't feel like its bogging off the line like it was beforeI got it up to about 3 psi and launched it. BTW is this bad for any aspect of the car if I just do it a couple of times a month at the Strip?

 

I ran a few 2.0 60's with stock tires and 40psi

 

what size and type of tires?

 

Worst thing you're doing is getting the tranny fluid really hot. Yes thats bad, and its like towing too heavy a trailer in a truck, however - I don't know how hot you're making the fluid get or what kindof forgiveness the autos have.

These manuals suck

 

I would be interested in seeing a time slip posted here: https://my350z.com/forum/drag/233840-top-25-1-4-mile-times-for-tt-st-supercharger-nitrous-bolt-ons-stock.html.

 

Good point about the tranny fluid....I have a tranny cooler which helps alot.

P.S. 40psi on street tires is way too much for racing at the 1/4 mile.Try around 25psi

 

just your stock potenzas re050 245/45/18

 

so could someone actually explain what is happeneing inside an automataic transmission when you hold the brake down and rev it up?

 

its in pain. The gears want to turn but the wheels wont let them. Causes tension on the axle and gears

 

thats what i thought so this probably isn't a good idea... right up there with neutral drops

 

Lets just say I used to track my automatic maxima and power braked all the time....I went through 3 transmissions within within 40k miles. Thank God for warranty
