Default Went to track the other day need advise

Went to sacramento raceway the other day and this is my second time there with my z. Before i had just cai n exhaust. My newer mod now on my car are flywheel, 4.087 gear, test pipe, and 5/16 spacer. My Z is 2003 Touring 6spd. Track condition: temp threw out the day was 54/45 and it rain little bit night before.

Advise i basically need what can i do stop/reduced some wheel hop on my car b/c it was just wheel hopping like it was going out of fashion

Here my four best times: (ran 6 times)





Here some video:

13.5@106 is impressive, and that backs up your runs from your first time out at Sac (and your pick-up of 24mph in the back 1/2): https://my350z.com/forum/drag/468142...g-strip-3.html

And that's with your new gears requiring a shift into 5th gear! You really should come down for the dyno day at ZCG. We can do our friendly run that day as well.

Any interest in joining us at Sears Point / Infineon Raceway on 4/7? I posted up the event in the NorCal section here: https://my350z.com/forum/northern-ca...g-radials.html

It would be an interesting comparison to your runs at Sac. Plus you could be a good bracket racer if you leave the line about a quarter second earlier. My best (1 visit, 4 runs) at Sears in my 350 is 13.7@100, though my 300 typically runs faster at Sac as well.

NOTE: Looks like you are crossing finish line in 5th gear. This is a disadvantage of increasing final driver ratio. You added another shift. Instead of crossing the finish line at the top of 4th gear, you are crossing at the bottom of 5th. Not good for ET.

Racers will often increase tire diameter with increase final drive ratio. This may avoid an unnecessary shift.
