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

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....

Default 1/8 times

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?

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
