If I can get my brakes installed sometime soon, Ill be there otherwise no can do.

 

well, i had to order some missing parts to my vortech from vortech. they are shipping out Friday, 2 day shipping. ugh. looks like mid next week for completion.

 

things like this are never done on time and shouldn't be rushed. just be patient and have peace of mind that it will be done right the first time. hope to see your car at a meet when its finished... maybe take me for a spin

 

ehh... working like hella hours... 80 per week... not going to make it unless i can convince my new supervisor that i MUST go... lol...

 

Then do so.

 

howd it go?

 

My best was a 13.4, which is pretty damn good considering the high humidity and temp weather conditions. I started out with a misshift into 2nd and 3rd. I ended the night with more misshifts. Lately, I haven't been able to execute all runs perfectly (or close to it). I think being on slicks is messing with me. I just need to get used to them is all, since I'm too used to launching on streets. The middle runs were very consistent and good, though, all landing right around 13.5 @ 102.

 

So you ran on slicks last night? SOunds like you did pretty good with a 13.4.

 

sorry i didn't come out, had a 15hour day yesterday and was beat, hope it was an enjoyable night

 

sorry i missed it, my car is still on the lift. damn used vortech kit missing parts.

 

:edit: nevermind i'm in the wrong damn thread

 

There's another one this Friday, from 6 until 12. I'm guessing nobody gives a ****?

 

I thought this was the dyno day thread...wasn't paying attention. Anywho, i saw 5 pages and was like, ****...this thread just blew up.

 

Ill be there, Jotech will be testing their car. Im not gonna run though.

 

OK, there's another race day coming up this Friday.. It'll probably just me again, but who knows?

And for those with nitrous kits, it's free nitrous night.

Bring $15 to race.

Doors open at 8:00PM and race from 9:00PM - 2:00AM.

 

Hey Chris - I can't believe this thread is still alive and kicking, LOL!
Anyway, 13.4 is danged good. I have a question for you.

How in the sam hell, in my stock down-2-the-tires 2006 350Z am I beating KevinZ 2005 350Z, who has modded everything you can bolt on, wider rear tires, piggy back thingy on his ecu, and tuned by sgp racing?

We ran it 3 times last Friday night, and to my surprise I got him out of the hole all 3 times and he could never catch me. I'm weighing in at 3410 lbs.

I weigh 138 lbs. Is that it you think? my stock potenzas? (My friends call me "flaco" which means skinny)

I'm going to try launching different next time I go to see if I can get my 60' times below 2 seconds - per your suggestions...

 

Actually, I'm now at 13.212.

This thread's only alive because every once in a while, I let the people know that there's a race coming up. I shouldn't bother, since nobody cares enough to show, or even respond for that matter.

As for you beating a car that has much more bolt-ons with a tune in your stock car, I really don't have a clue. I haven't seen either of your cars, so I can't even begin to assume.

BTW, if anything, your stock potenzas should hurt your times. I'm just guessing that his car was just low on power to begin with and his mods helped it bring it up to par with other stock Z's. Either that, or your car just puts down more power.

However, you have to know that it's not just about peak power. What matters the most is how much area you have under the graph. You probably just have more overall power than he does. Also, on the track, your driving ability will show as you need to concentrate on not only shifting, but also launching. Usually, the person who launches better will hold his/her ground until the end of the quarter, if the cars are similar in power. Remember, our Zs don't respond too well to NA bolt-ons.

 

Apparently...

Thanks for the info Chris. I learn something everyday.

 

No problem. Just glad that I could be of some help.
