Don't focus so much on the ET as on delta from stock. Stock did 14.3@100 (just went through all my time slips again last night) and the blown were a second faster.

Jesse said>>"That wasn't what I read. What I read is that the Sport Z Magazine driver, couldn't pull any good times with any of the SC'd Z's 13.4-13.6

So, the actual owner of the ATI procharged car decided to take a run for fun in his Z and pulled a 13.1"

Jesse, this is correct to the best of my recollection.

 

thats all relative to what you consider a stock time to be.......i can nail a 14.1 in a stock Z(tires too) with the VDC on, all day........and if you've ever seen Sac Raceway, it is by no means a well-prepped track.........all these runs were in summer, with summer air temps

if you go by the generally accepted rule of thumb that 10HP=1/10 of a second.......the numbers are less than accurate when you're talking about a claimed 55-60%HP gain

the test driver either had the VDC on, or he was launching at high RPM's and getting enough wheelspin to yield those goat-blowing times

 

My new gains are 63% at the flywheel, pretty dissam good. But a shootout with full gas tanks on 19's is well....

Well its the stuff forums are made of! lol

Because if I was there it would have been 12's but I didn't go because I assumed and I beleive it was implied all cars would be similiar and as close to stock as possible. I would have ran with my Falken 451's too. Wonder what tires they had? This is all the details worth paying for I guess. I have paid send my the E-Version please!

EJ is right. Don't blame the track the air was cool, we both ran those times N/A last year sharing a set of MT Streets on 16 in rims with aprox 246rwhp + or -, in 90 degree weather!

Sac Raceway is known to be a slow track in my circle.

I think it was the rims and the full gas tanks myself so what did they trap anyway 105?



J/K I will wait. Back to the drive train thread.

 

To be clear, EJ and I ran a 13.4 and 13.6 N/A which is what is being said they did blown.

Trying to clear up some PM's of confusion.

 

What's the elevation of this strip?

Wasn't there 1 or more stock Z's that ran a 14.4-14.6? If so, this seems accurate that 100-120rwhp more on big and heavy 19" wheels would run a second faster.

O well, who cares. I kinda like the fact that word will get out that FI Z's are slow. That way the general public won't know what they're in for when they race one.

You've tried to trash this board in the past, and you've done the same at 350zmotoring. You're not going to do it again.

If you have anything constructive to post, go for it.
