If I'm not mistaken, my car when stock weighed 3247, and its the heaviest one of that year. I think the enthusist or base model in 04 was 3188. Thats a huge difference from 3500 pounds...The 07s weigh like 3350 or something. The only Z that weighs 3500 pounds is a roadster. I'm talking about the curb wieght.

What is the second MT ET street radial?, haven't seen those before, only the top ones. There is a 295/50-16 and a 315/45-16.

Like I said I dont want to buy more wheels/tires...
Some of the high-HP Z32 guys run that MT ET Street RADIAL in the 255 size and have put down low 1.4s 60's and low 10s passes. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zcJU7bBLrQ
I am amazed at the traction of those tires. As the other guy said, they now offer a 295 in the same tread; I've been curious to try it myself as-swap for my MT ET Streets.
Great run, BTW. I look forward to seeing more from you. Question though: can you control the boost during your run? Meaning, can you jump to high-boost in 3rd or 4th gear? Why aren't you making high boost runs?

My low boost map is about 525DD uncorrected and my trap is about 128 right now,just need to stop breaking axles

I had my stock track wheels (front) painted and machined to match my 19" LE's. Here is a crappy cell phone pic-when I run 10's I'll look good doing it
Hopefully, running a 1.5" narrower wheel up front will help with the hyper sensitive steering and help me stay WOT the entire run, we shall see, this is an "easy" fix I have to test.

How many can say they do it at their lowest power level? Thats my goal...
Thats my goal...You are trying to run a 10s pass followed by "10s street car". Is that on 100 octane? Some will say that's not a street car (not me, as I run 100 octane all the time also)
Most non-sponsored high-power 6MTs don't even make it to the track, so you are in a league of very few already! At your weight and power, you should be able to just sneak in a high 10s pass assuming the right conditions. After you do that, will you turn the wick up, or are you not that eager to break the next weakest link?
I find myself babying the car at the drags as well, as I enjoy driving it not having it taken apart at the shop for this (diff) or that (trans). I feel your pain, and look forward to seeing your runs.
