The Z is running good at the top end picking up 21.2 MPH in the second 660 feet. Nothing wrong with a 2.10 60 foot time.

The problem if the 330 foot time. Are you pushing second gear to redline?

Take out the stoplight fuse. In an 5AT it indicates an unsafe condition with the fuse in and power on while braking. The ECU then cuts your usable power. It will be prone to more wheelspin however, so you need to handle that through practice. TC off and shift manually while keeping the throttle to the floor. Shift short enough from redline so that it doesn't hit the rev limiter when you shift.
Practice a lot.

I didn't in the beginning either and could do some pretty impressive burnouts anyway, but when I did it cut 2/10th off my regular times and got me down into the 13.7 range. My trap speeds are always 98 no matter what ET I turned. 13.9-13-7.
I'm only hitting 102 now with 13.1. ET's

That would make you one of the fastest naturally aspirated Zs on the forum. Post your time slip here: https://my350z.com/forum/drag/233840-top-25-1-4-mile-times-for-tt-st-supercharger-nitrous-bolt-ons-stock.html

Wow 13.1 @102 thats impressive and wierd at the same time. What mods do you have? One reason I never messed with the fuse is because I have no idea where it is.

I'm not N/A now. The best I could do N/A was 13.7/98mph with intake and exhaust, cats on and 91 octane.

13.1 is with a Vortech @ 7# boost. I have only run it one night and 6 runs, but that was on street tires and some 5AT problems. I'll post them when I get back from Memphis 6/9. They are consistent as hell and I have a .003 R/T on one of the runs. Got down to last 6 cars that night.

Sorry if that was misleading, but it is in my sig.

There is a fuse box right by your left foot. On the side. If you pull the cover off it tells you where that fuse is. Takes 20 seconds or less.

LOL. That's cool. I was thinking 13.1X seconds in a NA 350Z. Thought I might have to call someone out.

Two old guys fighting wouldn't be a pretty sight.
There is a guy out here (Corsair) that turned 13.3 with just exhaust and intake.
We race at the same place, he does very well.
