awesome video, just freakin bad ***

 

Just insane

 

Is the Z auto or manual?
the shifting looks weird lol

 

^^^^it's a powerglide ^^^


Great job guys...congrats on getting the monster back on the track.

 

2-speed chevy automatic....it's liek playing a video game (Low and High gears. )

 

that video was funny as hell to me. You see that mustang go flying in the air im like omg and then the z goes flying by it like its standing still.

 

I like how at the end the announcer is says " that 350z is goooonnnnnnnneee" like it vanished into thin air lol.

 

 

nice run hal. that is one fast effing car!! amazing you are getting into those times without having to pull the tires off the ground too. guessing thats the reason for the soft starts, lol. you guys still running the stock diff?

quicker than the 10's and a 'glide will suit ya better. not to mention parts are relatively cheap and handle TONS of power. watch the tach and see how the engine is always sitting right in the powerband and only one shift for consistent times.

 

Thanks everyone. I drive the car, and a soft start is a 1.48. Here are our two back-back timeslips broken down:

60: 1.489
1/8: 5.83 @ 126mph
1/4: 8.94 @ 158mph

60: 1.489
1/8: 5.83 @ 126mph
1/4: 8.93 @ 158mph

We use a powerglide because I have a personal hate for TH400's after destroying many of them in the past in my Lexus. Powerglides have less rotating parts, and can take an amazing amount of abuse. If the stall and gear ratios are setup correctly, I don't think you sacrifice anything compared to a 3speed. I also believe the glide is more consistent. In all of our 2speed equip cars we run tight converters so they drive nicely on the street as well.

 

How "tight" is tight for the TC? I have to wonder because your "soft" 60 ft times are anything but...

 

~3000rpm on the foot brake. Since the stall is a function of tq, using a small amount of nitrous (50-100 shot) we can set our launch rpm/boost anywhere we like at the track.

And a 1.48 is soft... we have run in the 1.3s before, and even then we weren't standing on it too hard.

We are still using the stock unopened rear dif that came in the car. (Though we travel with a spare... )

 

very nice hal

 

Thanks for the transmission information, Hal. To say that the Green Machine is consistent is surely the understatement of the year.

Two very nice, ultra consistent runs.

 

Is the motor setup the same since the motor carnage at atco? And did you ever find a rod setup suitable to the abuse you put it through..

 

Same 4.0L motor setup with the exception of Carillo rods replacing BC rods. I would recommend the same for anyone looking for 1200+whp. We will see how much abuse these will take

 

Hows the trans for Daily driving lol? what would it cost to slip into the 350z roughly? thats sick lol.

 

you dont dd on a glide unless you have an old pontiac

 

^LoL!

Great vid IP. Sick Sick Z....
