I'm just trying to compare before and after I'm thinking of raising the stall on my TC.
We plan on having some good vids for everyone to see...
I launch at 3200-3300
I never raced my Z prior to the TC and VB...I do know that the stock TC is set between 2650-2900 per Nissan specs.

Here's Some of the Crew standing around Tom's Z before it started pouring down rain...

I had a fun time, too... Shooting the breeze about racing is almost as much fun as racing...

Well the end has come to my stock internals motor. I made 2 passes down the track without the nitrous and the car was running strong. My third pass I hit the N20 button (75shot) and I bent a couple rods. Its a very loud lowpitched clunking noise.I checked the motor and theres no oil leaking anywhere, so I'm pretty sure nothing went thru the block.

The 75 shot put me at 500whp so for my motor that was toooooooo
much for the rods.The 35 shot had me at 468whp and I made numerous passes down the 1/4 and it held up well.

I wasn't able to hit the 10's so someone else is going to have to try..sorry

Sorry to hear about your motor coach. I know you will definately hit 10's once the motor is built.

Are you going to leave the nitrous installed after the build?

What did you run without nitrous?

Sorry the stock motor didn't last... Good news that it looks like you saved the block, though... that will save a few $$$.

Time for Stage 2...

If I do the build I have been thinking about, it will run in the 9's. N20 is always a part of my build.

First run was 11.6 and the second was 11.5.

Tom, I would say I'm sorry about your motor but I think no condolences are needed.

You and I have always tried whatever we could to push our cars to the limit and we're aware of all issues that can arise.

I will however, say good luck to you on your build and hope to run against you in the not so distant future...

Isn't 11.5 your best turbo only run?

Yup..that is my best turbo only time. The actual time was 11.586.The other pass was 11.602. Track conditions were excellent on Sunday. The fastest car that would of been racing with me on Sunday was a GTO with APS tt's on it. His best time was 11.2

coach are going to get a built tranny since you will definately be over 500+ with the N2O?

I don't think anyone is running a non-built tranny over 500+.

Like I said, with the build I am planning it will be a high 9 sec car and even a built tranny won't work.
