Stock 6MT G35 1/4 times

if you are barking 3rd and fourth, you are probably shifting too late. what happens then, is the torque peak has died away and then you go right back into the meat of the powerband causing a huge increase in torque immediately. it is a fine line, as you want to go slightly past or just before redline. just remember, your stock tach could be off by as much as 100-200 rpm, as there is some delay due to the car's LAN network comms and errors in calibration. you will also notice your speedo doesn't react immediately either.
each car is just a little bit different and all advice we are giving will need to be tailored to your car.
your 1/8th's MPH are right there so it would have to be the 3-4 shift if anything.
Seems like it would be an easy shift, buy you may not be smooth enough???

FYI - you can't shift a stock 350Z or G35 late unless you're banging off the rev limiter. The optimal shift points as calculated by CarTest are actually slightly beyond rev limiter.

I think the G engine is a little weaker at 6200 rpm and on though.
With a couple minor changes it recovers that difference. The torque peaks are almost identical but the hp peak is later on the z.
I shifted way late sometimes (6800 rpm) to see what would happen and my times dropped. I would also break traction badly as the torque fell off too much past about 6500.
I agree with you on the barking. I must have not expressed myself correct. I meant spinning/loud squeal. A small chirp or a little bark is evidence of being right on the line of traction (good for shift and launch)

Hey Redline6mt and cammy5... I go to Steel, AL all the time 
not a bad 1/4 track, and yes being open year-round is killer. Unless it is raining or snowing, she is open. I didn't know the new Accord V6's were that fast, 14.2@99 is very nice, that is about what most 350z's are running stock. My Z is Lemans Sunset (the bronze/orange color) maybe you have seen me there. Come on down Redline6mt sometime.
Sucks the track is down right now, fell in or some junk a couple of months ago when we got all that rain. They said it should be back open last week of March or 1st week of April once they redo the track.. Sucks for them too, they just did a major rebuild/resurface last year :\
