Default first time to the track with my stock 04 Z

hey everyone, tonight I took my 2004 350z touring to Lebanon Valley Speedway here in NY. my first run was my best run, launched around 2650 RPM, I was able to run a 14.11 @ 98mph.... my car only has the JWpopcharger intake. i thought this was a pretty decent run for a stock Z....anyways here are some picture, ill upload the time slip and video tomorrow.

more pics tomorrow.

What's your altitude? ET is decent but trap is low.

Can you post a break down or better image? What was your mph in the 1/8th?

Cant see the images at work but 14.1 isnt bad. Trap does seem a tad low though.

That's what I was seeing..(I trap 85.35 in the 1/8th...)

I figured I was just reading it wrong.

That could be it...we get ET at the 1000ft mark but I wouldn't be suprised to see MPH there!

i have the slip ill post it when i can its in my car, but i am gonna go back next week, i am very new to the 350z world, i know everything there is to know about honda H series lol but now would it be more beneficial to my 350z to remove the cats or to remove the mufflers? how well do these cars respond to dump, like would it make sense to install a dump pre-cats?

1/8th mile isnt that odd, the car is so choked from the factory man.. you ever see the inside of the exahust manifolds? how about that stupid stock exhaust set up.
change those two things, and watch the trap get 10mph higher.
