No. The driver is slowing you down a lot.

It isn't the clutch or flywheel unless your clutch is actually slipping, but it shouldn't with that power level. Seems to be a driver problem. Next time you go try to get an in car camera or something to make a vid, then we can tell you what is wrong.

Keep in mind I was launching at idle and was riding on semi-bald GS-D3's. Still I suck though.

I wasnt quite beating on the car like I could have, its my daily driver.

i'm not sure how well you drive, but the 19's sure aren't helping ... unless they are light weight, and even still... they are not helping you.

It looks like you need to work on your launch (why did you take off from idle - that's a huge fail for drag racing). Bald tires or not, you can still pull better 60' than a high 2.1. Also, it seems like you need to shift faster.

On street tires, I suggest you spray in 2nd and up. Launching out of the hole will only slow you down and waste nitrous.

I hit 13.5 on balding Nitto NT555 ZR Extremes and they suck *** for drag racing. Give me some details on how you're making your way down the quarter.

Can you start a progress thread or at least post some pictures up at the appropriate forum on My350Z.com? I'm interested in seeing this swap.

I really need some practice, launching the car was jsut next to impossibe for me. Some people say that it looked like I was shifting really slow.

This was my BEST time. I made about twenty passes total. Most were in the 14's.


R/t .138
60 2.192
330 5.956
1/8 8.912
MPH 83.38
?? 11.424
1/4 13.508 TERRIBLE!!
MPH 108.66


Do you guys think the stock clutch and flywheel plus the 19's are slowing me down alot?

I think it's best that we don't lie to you. Those times are disgusting.

How did you pick up 200#'s of torque from your mods and a 100 shot?
