It took me a while to get it because I always thought that kid was Alberto jr.

Once I got it, it was a great response.
What? Lol

nice!!! You are are #3 all time NA VQ 3.5/3.7 and #2 DE/HR. Audible Mayhem went 12.38 in his built DE.

I think if the weather was a little cooler you would of went 12.3 this weekend is warmer than usual.

What is your tire setup front and back?

Think the gears helped out alot last weekend was your 1st time running with them?

First you said I got one 370 car to beat, now I'm third

Can you just say I'm # ONE in my class

Seriously, I'm only doing 108 / 109 MPH. I've sqeezed this Lemon to the MAX. There's NOTHING left.
I'll try another tune map & look for some mods, someway to find more H.P. Ten to twenty more H.P should do it.

As far as the 12.38 build car. NO disrespect, but I or anyone else can spend some money & have the engine re-build to a road racing Z's specks. You can have an N/A car with 400 to 450H.P and do low 11's in the bolt on ONLY class.

Jeremy's 12.3 isn't as impressive in comparison because his car was gutted so much it was a tin can.

Andre the short times are mighty impressive. Congrats again.

Can you please post the 1/8 info?

True his car was gutted and built.

Andre you've been #1 in your class for 2yrs and will probably stay that way until the guy that hit 113 gets his driving down.

The point is you are doing better than all the 370z except one.

Are you still using the stock air boxes? Also congrats again.

Thanks Alberto.
My old record of 12.504 was done at Raceway park that allowed only 3 runs for test n tune. The conditions were close to perfect & I did 3 12.5's, 2 at 109 & my only 110 mph speed.

I'm still turning 109mph today. So there is no change in H.P. with or without a muffler. Considering what happened, I'm happy about that. Long answer to your question.

The difference/the reason I'm doing better & had that great "short time" is (1) because I'm using 4:08 gears now. (2) I played with my STOCK suspension for more traction (3) The starter told me to heat my tires up more. (4) I drove it like I had no care for broken(stock) axles, or damaged (stock) LSD.

My 1/8 was 7.896..... As you know my 60' for a modest h.p car was crazy good.

As far as the other topic. I don't want to get personal or change the rules, but I think bolt on should be what it says. Same for weight reduction. We can take out the spare/jack, pass seat but that's it. Cutting thing out changes the car from stock w bolt ons to something else. Just my opinion.

Hell ye. I said that I like the HR intakes & the HR headers almost 3 years ago. Until I see something better, I wont change them.
I'll be waiting & watching the 113mph car. If next spring I see something good, well I'm open minded. When a car slows down or stalls in second gear, and does 113 mph, it should turn 118+++ mph with a normal run. That's what makes this so interesting.......

Thanks to everyone. I'm glad we can separate drag racing from the other nonsense I post. I'm retired & it's just something to do with some of my free time. That's not that I'm denying being one strange.......

Told you I would write about you. It got some interest. You can participate here with a sentra if you wish. Next spring I'm sure we'll run into each other again. Atco & Raceway park.

I could have answered you better last time. What size did you get? Seriously, I'll share with you what I know, if you still want. Tell me size of tires/Wheels & type... Also what's up front?

Perfect sizes! My rear is the same, front is either the same or 27"-4.5-15. That's M/T radials & ply skinnies in the front? Did you check if the front wheels clear the brakes?

I see they do
