1 stop spraying. Start working on your na times and practice your launch and also get a LSD. Get the car into the 13s all motor then once you get used to it. Then spray

Up your jets. Probably the cheapest option you have. If you are running a window switch, what are your settings?

350z was never meant as a drag car. They cant hook/launch worth a damn. Honestly either sell the z and get a different car, or up your spray and lighten your load. Get bigger tires to improve launch.

I think you need to practice your launch, there are plenty of people with boltons and stock running your times and better, I would think with a 75 shot you should be running 13 flat at least, but depends where your located too..

how are sidewalls with 275's? and i honestly dont think with the current set up i could launch any harder hell im only a tenth away from my buddys gc srt8 to 6 foot and about the same at the big end only i trap 4 mph faster. the killer is i cant spray until 3rd and control wheelspin was thinking about picking up 255 hankook rs'3 on the rear see how that helps

Yeah sounds like you just need better traction then I would say get some dr's or something a lot stickier as a street tire the hankooks are a good choice though, but you may be able to squeeze a bit more out of your tune as well.

I'd go LSD seeing as you're open diff now, then go drag radials after that once both wheels have power to em.
