The APS TT is exceptional.. Ask Joe, Ask Thomas (MrTomcat)
You can first duplicate what they have accomplished, and then push the envelope. Thomas the German/English Speaking engineer uses his car everyday for commuting in Los Angeles. Then put's on some Mickey Thompson ET Drag Radials and dukes it out on the track (1/4 Mile that is..)
If you want to do left and right turns on a road course... That is a different question.. But the APS TT would still be in the running...

That's just me, though.

Good times ahead if true.
Interesting Rumor.. California owners generally drive to the track

GeorgeC,
I don't think that will be a option for California owners...
The situation is the first manufacture of a CARB Certifide TT kit will make the most money.
Most are Illegal... The one which is legal will have installations done at Nissan dealerships.. They may not be the most powerful but the Money will flow..
Let's see who is the smartest.

just kidding.
I might actually be moving to Austin Texas in not too far from now due to my job relocating us, so CARB might not be too long an issue anymore...
Just imagine driving to work without getting scared that a cop will pull you over and want to check under your hood...
You guys running FI outside of cali don't know how good you have it
It's not about being the smartest, its a matter of money and who has the patience to wait for the rediculous certification system for california emissions.
George - thats quite a rumor.

Are you kidding??? I easily pull low 1.7 60' times on 295 Drag radials and there's guys running as small as 255 DRs in the rear that don't really have any problem hooking.

not knocking on the DR's, some people can get some great times on them. but if he's hardcore into it a nice set of slicks will help get the best 60' times. DR's are a good alternative as they can be used on the street as well.
WHy not the JWT TT, when lookign at their dyno, all their power is made starting with a little under 3k RPM, wouldn't that be efficient in drag to get the torque going? Very little lag but tons of power.

If your under 4000rpms (let alone 3000) while drag racing, then you are doing something wrong. I launch my car @ 4500-5000rpms and shifting @ redline only drops me to just under 5000rpms...

great...but that doesn't matter in a drag race if you know what you're doing....

Too many people spouting off about stuff when they really have no idea what they are talking about.
thats one thing i hate about this forum, 90% of the people dont know WTF there talking about, i worst thing IMO you can do is, list a problem with your car, you get 20 different answers...all make your but hole pucker more, if your in trouble, and if you wanna know the best set-up, you get so many mixed answers, no wonder why people post stupid threads...turbo kits a pretty much the same price wise, and will make about the same power when full potential is reached, some kits have draw backs, but boost is boost, and IMO opinion your gonna pay the same for a APS ST vs TN ST when you mod it out, same thing whitch the TT kits. Theres no reason to even put a 20g turbo on a Z yet, the 16 g's from greddy are not even maked at 20psi, its the fuel pump that runs out of gas. ST when its said and done, with doing a fuel set up, and other mods..its the same thing IMO. APS ST vs TN ST after you make 400hp same price, same as a greddy vs a APS TT after 450hp stock block your spending about the same, built same also...maybe a 1000.00 difference, if you get a shop that know WTF there doing...greddy is a tuner kit, APS is a complete kit with that in mind, what brand would you like, and what kind of set-up are you gonna TRY?
