1/4 Drag Results--First time ever! 10psi
Well, I finally took my car out for the first time to the 1/4 drag. I was really pleased with the results...especially for a rookie.
My 60foot time'es sucked. I have no doubt this is a low 12 sec car with slicks and more practice.
Setup:
19 inch Volk GT-C's
Toyo T1-S 275's
EDFC on full soft rear, full stiff front
Avoided water box
2 second dry burnout
2500rpm launch
100 octane fuel for safety
10psi
Stock shiiity clutch
Yippie!
12.837 @ 114.34mph

Nice GQ! I have yet to go to the track to time my car. I hope to hit the 12's myself. I never do a burnout when I go...part of it is I dont know how, and part of it is that I dont want to ruin my new Toyos. They are way too expensive to do that on! Well I need a helmet before I can go to the track.

Excellent Sharif...
I know Tony (Wld350Z) will send praise too !
He mentioned today on a run to the Imperial Valley - a hotty truck was tailgating and he took the car up to 177 Kph ( MPH 125 ) to clear traffic.. Not fast but quickly... -
Cheers and Regards Amy -

That's awesome, Sharif! I saw the 12.8 run... very nice.
Unfortunately, my luck was not as good. Best time I mustered all day was 13.8 and best speed was a 109mph run (these on different runs). I just could not get my car to hook up well... which is funny because on the return road running next to the track I could launch like a rocket... immediate hookup... oh, well. I also think the 10K+ miles on my plugs since putting in the SC may be a problem. I suspect I am way overdue for a tuneup... gives me a reason to go back and try again.
Also, how were you running at the end of the track? I found I was hitting redline in 4th gear right as I passed the traps.
Anyway, 60' times looked like yours... 2.4-2.5sec range, but you need to work on that reaction time, bro! Mine were all <.10 and most were .04-.05. Sure, it doesn't mean anything for your trap numbers, but in a real race, reaction time matters.
Finally, I know Lightning Guy will eventually make his way out here to post, but he pulled a beautiful 12.69 sec run. Speed was low because his gear runs out before he hits the end of the track... I think the speed was 104mph
It was a very fun afternoon. Hopefully next time we can see a few more Zs out there.
Sharif, if you're interested in trying again after tweaking, we can go hit the 1/8 in Mooresville sometime.

McDuck,
Somethings not right. Did your car feel as strong as normal? A best of 109 mph seems really slow for the HP you have. Even if you are spinning all the way down the track. I bet GQ was spinning badly and still trapped 114 mph. I raced another 350Z 6MT (at the track) that trapped 116mph while spinning sideways. You should be at least in the 112-113 mph range. (Unless you have a 5AT which traps 3-4 mph slower)
Look at several of the S/Ced autos trapping 108-109 at 12.9-13.1. I for one spun all the way down the track (thanks to the torque converter) and even had to let off the gas. I had trap speeds inline with yours with my 5AT. My times were 13.1's and I was pretty unhappy and I was only boosting 8.2psi.

GQ......get some BFG DR tires and I know you are high 11's in the qrt. I had them and its impossible to spin the tires after there warmed up. They hook like CRAZY.
