+++Mason Dixon Dragway - March 9th Test and Tune +++

Enjoy your helmet.

350Z: 13.09 at 113 mph (bigslim350Z)
Corvette: 12.92 at 108 mph (C5_vette )
victory goes to 350Z by .08 sec due to 350Z driver's excellent reaction time.
(Zain, what did you do to your car!!??)
EDIT: (being bored at work....)
using ricer math...... My best supercharger time at mason dixon was 13.4 at 110 mph while best supercharger time was 12.9 at 111.5 at capitol, so one
would think that since I did 13.09 at 113 at mason dixon, I would get about 12.5xx at 115 mph at capitol .....on street tires, provided my axles don't break again.

in that run where you beat me by .08 sec I actually trapped 109mph to your 112, my highest trap speed to date

. If I can Manage to blend my .09 with my top speed of 105.4 and shift right, I think i can make it happen. Looks like i'll be rockin that dumb helmet all summer!

... I have r tune high flow headers. apparantly they have almost the same flow as test pipes? Bought them off of the stillen website. I couldn't tell you how loud they are because I had them put on the same time the custom exhaust was built - and that's so loud you can't even think.
