Honestly, IMO that doesn't even compare to the guy on the org who ran 12's with an all motor VQ30.

Could've sworn it was you, but I was at work (AAM
) and didn't have the time to check.Anyway, side by side as promised:
Last pics kind of sucks, but eh. All are hotlinked to the full res versions.
All are taken with the blocks positioned in the same exact way (though the FWD 3.5 has torque plates on it).
About to head over to the org and PM Nismology to make this a sticky...

Just in case anyone cares to see it, here's my thread in AM on the org: FWD vs RWD VQ35 Differences (Lengthy)

What mods were they running & what kind of power were they putting out?

Set some new PB's yesterday at the track. The "little" old 3L went 12.83 @ 106.90 mph. On another pass it trapped 108.26 mph (on a 12.90 ET).
Scary thing is, there's a few tenths left in it yet. The car's only roughly tuned and I had a lot of problems with it breaking up at high rpms due to sudden lean-out. I'm lucky these are tolerant engines and I'm N/A or the motor would have blown. Thankfully I had the knock sensor working overtime. It was unexpected, the night before I wasn't seeing that as much doing some street tuning, thought it was safely rich so I need to look into it, might be a fuel pump/supply issue or it could be the stock ECU switching tables on me again (don't even ask how many problems the stupid Nissan ECU has caused me). Also, my launches and shifts were a bit rusty shall we say, not having raced in a year... that plus a shifter **** that's stripped and comes right off the shaft - so mostly pulling 1.8x sixty foots, worse than the mid 1.7's I'm used to. I think I'm going to change my launch technique a bit with this setup now too, it needs to be launched a bit higher than last year's.
Considering all the factors, I'm thinking this car should be able to do 12.6x and trap 109. I never had 1 solid pass all day yesterday. Even the 12.83 and 12.90 were glitchy. Others were worse; for example the car crapping out up top turned a half-decent start on a 1.79 sixty foot into a 13.05 @ 94.57, and on another run it turned a 1.88 sixty foot into a 13.19 @ 88.77. ( at the trap speed)
Anyhoo, timeslip is below, and I have video footage which I'm just editing together and will post soon.
