Work on your launch, try to get into the 2.0 range, and try to shift faster. Just keep practicing...

Thanks Alberto.

ZU L8R: My bad man do you have AIM?? next time I'll be sure to let you know. I went with 1 other 350z and those 2 300zx.

As I was into my 2nd run my Service Engine Light came on. Took it to nissan this morning looks like I have a bad ignition coil, got one on order coming in, so maybe that was robbing me some HP?? Matt, soon as I get my coil fixed I'm going to back out for a couple runs I'll let you know.
