Agree. Don't see time slips but trap speed is excellent. ET suffers because of 60 foot time.

I'll get pics of the slips up tonight after I get off. This is only the 3rd time I've ever been on a track in a car, so launching definitely isn't my strong point. I tried to launch about 2800 to see if I could improve my 60's. It would spin just a little make me think I'm good then boost comes on and wheel hop makes me had to get off it.

Bert, he has a Greddy kit. With 115-116 and good tires, you can run 11s all day.



Basically i think you just need to let Alberto or myself drive the car.

Yeah man, you can go 11s with under 400. We went 12.0 at 118 with 400 in a stock weight G35 on stock tires.

I was implying on street tires, but with slicks I agree.

Come on man, not everyone is gonna hit 11s with that horsepower. You just happen to be one of the exceptions. You already know that. But it does sound like you could be giving inspiration, so it's cool. I'll set my goal for 12.6 on street tires, with 346 rwhp and 320 ft/lbs. I'm sure it'll take time. But practice makes better.

I know not everyone is going to hit 11's with sub 400whp

But why shoot for being average? The OP should know with a set of DR's he COULD go 11's or low 12's at a minimum....

A lot of cars (ie Supras) with big turbos have lag if you let off the throttle while shifting. This platform, for the most part, have smaller turbos or two small twin turbos so they build boost pretty quickly.
