First time taking it out to the track (drag strip) since I bought it.



Didn't do too bad, the only trouble with the AT at this power level is the ability to leave hard off the line with drag radials. The stall on the converter is too low and the stock gearing isn't helping things either.


Mods so far are Fast Intentions resonated test pipes, prototype (under testing) JWT cams. and our Specialty-Z valve body upgrade.

Run was performed with MT ET Street Radials.



Next time out I plan to have gears or raise the stall on the converter to get the 60s in the 1.xxs

 

Do you have more pics of your Z? I am interested to see them.
Thanks

 

Man that would've been a great time for an auto with stock tires. Not bad either way though. I was expecting somewhere around 13.3 or lower for an auto set up with MT's....

 

Here's one more

 

Yeah unfortunately the dealer I bought the car from had fitted the car with 19s, asked for the stock setup and things got ugly...its a long story.

Anyways, to utilize the setup better the stall needs to be moved up to really benefit with the DRs. Gears will be next and stall change if needed.

 

Impressive. Post your times here: https://my350z.com/forum/drag/233840-top-25-1-4-mile-times-for-tt-st-supercharger-nitrous-bolt-ons-stock.html

 

yeah i would say the stall and the gears are hurting you to that would be a great next upgrade.

 

Thanks, just posted!

 

Yeah gonna go w/ 4.08s and see what happens.

Nice times.. Maybe you should try torque braking? My brothers automatic 07 left a good 20 feet of rubber before letting off at 6xxx rpms while brake torqeing..no traction, but with tires for the strip you might want to try this technique. the HR motor rips those potenzas up. hold the brakes rev to 1500rpms and GO! Im curious about those JWT cams.. they don't even have a friggen intake yet but they are prototyping cams? How are they and what are the gains like so far in your opinion if you don't mind me asking?

 

Im sure thats what he was doing.

 

Nice times. But with test pipes and cams, I wouldve expected a higher trap speed in a 07.

Do you have the track conditions or DA?

 

yup I do that while also holding the e-brake just to make sure I get the RPMs up. On street tires this technique leaves rubber for sure!

 

Well, the trouble is that the AT soaks up more power over a MT.

Track conditions from what I can remember, 1800' elevation (calculated w/ pressures mixed in), temp was about 88 degrees. Alot of the other guys (Viper guys) were complaining that there cars were running lower MPHs that day, and conditions weren't optimal.

 

That and the fact your gears are taller ( 3.357 Gear ) in the Auto. The elevation does not help your times either. I think you did really well considering those two factors.

Congrats

Cali speed way is not 1800 feet....Right?
I grew up in riverside,it doesnt seem like 1800ft, but who knows.

 

We just got that one reading from a hand held weather report tool that determines pressure/elevation together, or at least thats what we were told.

A quick lookup on Google says its 1237 feet.

 

Thanks Todd! Yeah, the gearing is terrible!

 

Nice time. I love the 18" gunmetal TEs
