what is your current wheel/tire setup?

 

Stock 17" rims and Firestone Wide oval tires.
255/45/17 rear and 245/45/17 front.
Not bad tires.

 

Here's my best slip

 

We are running the Stock VQ block, crank, & heads Of course they are modified they are stock castings with minor mods.

I am sure you got confused as we used to has a RB in our old 350z

 

how did you guys get past the issue of the coolant flash boiling in the rear of the block? a guy here in texas had his block built buy sgp. it melted on its dyno run at high boost. i think they were somewhere around 600hp and the coolant in the rear of the block was flash boiling due to the extreme heat. did you guys just somehow enlarge the coolant passages?

 

Hmm, maybe the system was air bound. We have made well over 1400 on a dyno and the car puts well over 1600 to the ground we haven't encountered any such problem and I actually measure my coolant temp at the rear of the block where it comes out of the cylinder heads, the motor has a small radiator and really never goes past 175 F even under high boost passes.

Great times man...that's some really good driving. Good to see more Z owners that know how to launch their cars.

 

that's VERY interesting. i wonder wtf went wrong with tim's then... either way, NICE car...

 

Thanks, I can;t amagine what went wrong with your friends car but we are always happy to help or answer any questions so don't hesitate to give us a call or e-mail.

I believe the reason he mentioned you're not using a VQ was that your website states: quote: Carl Jr. replaced his ’04 Nissan 350Z’s 3.5 liter V6 with a smaller 2.6 liter inline6 end quote.

Is that a different car or is the site not updated?

 

Thanks for the time slip. You are doing some serious kick-*** driving.

 

I just got a new best

I normally pull off a 1.85ish launch

I tried to get a little more aggressive on the next launch and turned up the timeing a little.. but broke my axle coming off the line... I think that my be the end of my racing season this year.. better luck next time

 

The silver car has an rb in it the blue car has a VQ, the article you were ready was an article s3 magazine did on the silver car last febuary.

 

thanks for clearing that up

 

Ran a 13.39 tonight!!!!
But, i cheated, i took the passenger seat out.
Still a good time for a NA auto tranny with the few mods i have!

 

DayBlueZ: Are you running DOT tires? Your ET is excellent.

 

Yea, Firestone Wide oval 255/45/17
Dyno'd today and found out my A/F is way too lean, it's over 14.
My new mods are killing me. I have to buy a Emanage ultimate to get this fixed.
