Alright so let me ask you this then. When slipping the clutch, you are revving at about 4,800 rpms then right before the launch, correct?

I feel like I am shifting really fast and really hard, not really sure how much faster I could possibly shift. Wish I could just make a run with one of you guys that are getting in the 13's just so I can see how it is lol.

Alberto, PM me next time you are going up there

D@ActiveTuning = Dave (my name) ActiveTuning (my company)

 

I will probobly be heading up there this coming Friday or Sunday. I hold the revs between 2500-3000 then slip the clutch out of the hole. We can meet up sometime if you want, I'll take you for a ride and you can tell me what you think....

 

Well let me know the next time you are going...I gotta take it easy on my Z for a little bit I'm down to go on my next bigger performance upgrade....which will probably be the exhaust and/or pulley.

 

I drive a base 350z, with a nismo intake as my only upgrade so far....My 60ft is a 2.282 330ft is a 6.226 and my 1/8 th time is a 9.425, the track is only an 1/8th, so I don't know my 1/4. My main question is are the automatics better for dragging than the stick? I drive a stick, and another Z that comes to the track is an auto, and he usually runs .2 faster on his 1/8. Also the Injen intake is directly behind the grill, so it is exposed to more oncoming air, would this make a difference compared to the Nismo intake which is more covered up by the wheel well ?

 

Yes auto's are better for drag racing, but not auto's in a factory car. I pulled 8.8x 1/8 mile times with just a K&N drop in, so you just really need to work on your driving man...

 

im running 13.8 with a 2.2 60ft and 102.5 trap. i think I need to start to do slight burn out cause it seems that my 0-60 keeps getting worse the longer i just sit there and wait for my turn. Oh and mods, I have test pipes, injen intake, and 10.5inch rears with toyo tires. I get my 0-60 down I should be hitting 13.5.

 

Hey Dave did you use to own a black Altima??....if so I was the Blue Z you raced down on Coastal Highway down Ocean City this past summer, I later saw you in a traffic jam one night on 695 by the Security Mall exit. Does this ring a bell?

 

i like to rev at the light at around 3500 usualy, and thats what i launch at slipping the clutcc, and ill spinn a bit but i like to get the wheels totaly hooked up around 4800 or so, cause thats where the Z's powerband is probaly work better with some stick tires .... wish i had some lol

 

My best was a 13.98@100.86 and that was with only 5K miles and an AEM CAI (that some people says drops a couple of HP)

Most my runs with a 2.2-2.25 60' nets me about a 14.11-14.2@100.5ish

 

with the stock re040s i could never launch above 3500 rpm without spinning bad. since i put on my bfg drag radials i launch at about 5000~ and barely chirp

 

Oh shoot, what's up man, yeah it is me What part of Baltimore are you from? I'm in Owings Mills.

 

hey now, no need to tease me like that!!! lol

 

I live in Catonsville, we should meet up sometime man...did you sell the Altima?

 

Oh sweet, I just moved from Catonsville like 6 months ago.

Yeah, the Altima is gone now.
