I have the Z that APS has on there website racing... Out of the box at 7.5 lbs I ran a 12.10 @ 114 on drag radials... After tuning.. I ran a 11.60 @ 120 with 10lbs of boost on drag radials.... and i still ran a 12.1 on my 19" street tires @120... With a bone stock motor w 85k on it... Just my input to your question..... As far as 0-60, I would estimate under 4 secs when traction is available.......

I am running roughly 425whp or so and my car weighs in @ a hefty 3650lbs with me in it... I have been pretty happy with my trap speeds so far but I race my Z fully loaded like I daily drive it... Except for the tire swap obviously!! Full stereo(subwoofer box) etc... and with all my junk flying around down the track..
As many know,,, my Z was broken into over the winter and I have been without it for a few months while it has been in the body shop... It should be done within the next week or so and after I install the new guages, I will hit the track again for the 06 season... My goals for the spring is to break into the 10's with my daily driven stock motor Z... The odometer is pushing over 85k now and I think its just broken in!!!... I plan on maxing out the stock APS actuators and tuning a little more aggresive.. Wish me luck!

you're not going to get any traction in at least the first two gears with street tires, that's a fact.

o alright i didnt really understand that some drag radials are streetable, so i wouldnt mind using dr's then. what dr's do you recommend and what kind of suspension setup? i wanna be able to hook up off the line as well as possible. and i really dont have a clue; im just getting into all this, you have to learn sometime.
thanks
thanks
Mickey Thompson Street Radials mounted on 16" Weld Pro-Star XPs are your best bet .... next in line would be the same tires on a set of Pontiac Gram-Am/Prix wheels w/ some spacers
This is the best you'll do in a street radial, dot legal, street racing setup
if you want to lower the car ... invest the $250 in the SPC camber and toe kit. Set the camber to -1.0 or less and run ~0.05 of toe just to keep it comfy (I found 0.00 toe to be squirrely) ... you'll hook, I promise
good luck,
jim

And here i was thinkin it was a hella expensive kit (from US to AU conversion) and i had to get it shipped.

If you really don't have a clue, and really haven't experienced what 450-500 whp feelsl like, I'd stay off a TT kit altogether and get off the attitude of trying to race faster STIs and VWs. You don't sound mature enough to handle a TT'd car and seriously we don't need another dead person on these forums, nor do we need more dead innocent bystanders.

While I haven't driven my car on anything other than Drag Radials with the turbos..I got a chance to drive GRD's shop car that's making just over 500whp @ 11lbs of boost and is running a 285 BFG KDW tire on the back. in 80 degree weather the car got slight spin in first and hooked completely in second gear, so traction on street tires in a twin turbo Z is definitely attainable with the right setup.

Id consider him a good driver-more than I can say for most on these boards. He now has a 460rwhp APS TT car-with 430rwhp he cut a 1.7 60ft on slicks, and ran 11.7 @ 120mph. Very impressive indeed, but not mid to low 11's. Im not saying its nt possible for an APS T Tcar to run mid to low 11's on a stock block and 93 oct-just that I havent seen it, and it is very unlikely, like I said before if somebody pulled it off they are 99.5 percentile, do you disagree? If you do, you just $hit on 99% of the members of this forum...
My ears were ringing....
I'm not going to make any predictions about what I will run this spring with my current setup...but it should be a bit better than my old time, for more reasons than just power.
My goal is to beat Jason@MRC to the 10s on a stock motor, pump gas, daily driven 350Z, but I'm going to need more than 460whp...
