That's cool...lose to the LT1 and beat the LS1.

 

Nice runs, as you were improving your 60' times, your ET were dropping. With more practice and experience, you can run 14.0's or high 13's.

Nice kills too!!

 

I am going to get my buddy's scales and play with the car this weekend, see how much dropping the muffler makes in the weight, and then hopefully run again next Tuesday to see if I can break into the 13s.

 

All you need to break into the 13's is a better launch. Your 2.2 60's leave you room for some improvement.

Good runs

You can try to lower the preassure on the rear tires. You need to experiment with launching RPM's, 2500's seems to work well.

 

I ran 30psi in the rear last night. What do you guys recommend?

 

do you have an auto or manual? I'm assuming your Z is manual.

 

manual, the only way to go

 

Did you know someone here with a sunset Touring 5AT got a 14.1 at 99.5mph? Thats with elevation. Very impressive.
