ok... so i cant get better than a 2.0 with drag radials...

im launching at 3500rpm and riding the stock clutch...

any suggestions?

whats ur best 60'? and how?

 

get Dr's and you'll be in the 1.7's with some practice.

 

Luie-he has DR's!

OP-what tire pressure? You need to launch higher, FI on DR's I wouldnt expect anything under 4000-4500 at least! Is the car bogging or spinning to much?

 

Also what rear wheel/tire combo are you running and at what psi of pressure?
If you are trying to run a drag radial with a short sidewall, then a taller sidewall tire may be the answer.

 

Lining up in the groove is critical. If you aren't sure where it is, there is usually someone hanging around the track that can help line you up.

Are you doing a good enough burn out? DR's aren't magical, they need to be heated well. At a minimum, when you see white smoke, do a 3 count and then roll out of it.

There I go speed reading again

 

not bogging out just spinning a bit...

 

im running bfgoodrich drag radials 275 40 17 on the stock 350z 17" wheels.

tire pressure is about 10psi.

good burn out.

i guess i just need more practice and i need to launch this bioth at higher rpms...

im just scared of breaking the tranny, axes, or anything else.

 

easiest way to get a good launch is to let me drive the car....




hehe


i will be out there tomorrow, in the TN ST trapping 120 or better

 

Well, if you are smooth and ride the clutch out and your not dumping the clutch, I wouldnt worry about breaking anything other then frying the clutch.

Do you have camber arms yet? You may gave too much negative camber, and your just not getting the most out of your DR's because of it.

 

You could always just do this as well.

You gonna drive AJ's car tomorrow night?

 

thanks.... i need to learn.. i'll probably be out there practicing...

 

10psi on DR's? You may actually be too low. Start out at 18-20 and see how it goes.

if you are scared about breaking stuff, you will never have the best 60s, i TRY to break stuff when i launch, i do a nasty burnout and then launch close to the rev limiter... when i am launching , that damn shift lift on the dash is blinking in my eyes

 

dang... i guess i need to grow some ***** and launch this thing like theres no tomorrow.

 

I run 12-14psi on MT DRs also, and clip 1.6 60's. The key is about a 10s burnout with lots of smoke at the rev limiter, followed by 130mph traps.

 

very nice. i like

 

Holy crap- you're running an E-Manage BLUE?

Is that sufficient?????

 

what car?? more info, thats pretty fast!!

 

Our Z33 (ZR) is basically stock, but my Z32 is quite modded. Pics attached for fun. Headed back to Sears Point in a few weeks for that 10s pass.
