Default 12.87 @112mph

Guess I'm the first......

1st run, bogged off line shifted to 2nd and ran it out before spraying. Good mph though, 11sec range....

Other run clutch pedal stuck half way off the floor. Tapped the rev limiter, lost a plug. Only running on 5 cylinders that pass.

Next weekend should be interesting.

NX Direct Port and a few other tweeks.

Now I have the David Bowie song stuck in my head, but very nice job, UnderPressure. I'm sure there are plenty of people on the forum who're feeling some envy right about now.

12's He meant with that trap speed 11's are possible

Can you post a list of mods, tires, weather, etc. I can't believe no one hit 12's in these cars before, are they that hard to launch?

Im personally confused about that as well.. Is it lack of trq? I mean honestly their stock traps (101~102mph) should be good for high to mid 13s.. not low 14s. Since I ran 14.1 ~14.2 with a 97mph trap in a heavier car.. Im still trying to figure out how that works..

Average LS1 Cars I know of run mid 13s at 103~104mph.. Anyone have a baseline dyno of a 350Z we can compare? Curious as to how the curve looks..or if it just peaks.

need to know how much hp did it take that got you into 12.87... So I have an idea if turbo/supercharger is the way to go, or nitrous?

Can someone post a breakdown of the timeslip, that attachment is all F-ed up and won't open in any program for me.

Anyhow no they are not that hard to launch. Just seems like most of the people driving them are newbies to racing. My buddy BriGuyZ was pulling 2.0s his first time at the track in a RWD car. Granted his times were high 13s but this is at a track that is notoriously slow on the big end. My traps were down about 2.5mph from other tracks I've run at and I was running .15-.20 seconds slower.

I didn't get a chance to drive his car I was hoping I would though.

I have a feeling as spring wears on some a significant amount of people will start heading to the track and we will start seeing some better times.

2.1 60 foot 98 mph with what looks like an edited slip with lines through it?

Props for now but skeptical on the math.

I just did a 1.7 60' and didn't make it yet.

Need more data b4 I draw my concusions but the math doesn't add up.

What shot R U running and when did you activate and why is your trap so low?

You pay shipping and I'll be more than happy to overnight you the original time slips.

60ft is so bad because the clutch didn't fully engage. We are still trying to figure out why that happened.
Since it was the last pass of the night and only the second of the day, I sprayed off the line. 150hp-ish....
Oh and by the way, pulled the plugs out and the front 2 plugs had blown the electrodes off. That's why the mph dropped off from the first run of 117mph. A good launch and a clean pass. 11's easy....

So you are saying that you trap 117 mph with a 150 shot, and maxhax on here traps only 106 with a 100 shot, wow so u pick up 11 mph with that extra 50 hp...Sorry but dont believe it... Oh and spraying a 150 shot off the line and getting a 2.1 60',

I never said I was spraying 150, I said 150-ish...

As for the 60ft, i thought that was pretty clear. Clutch didn't release fully.

Either way it really doesn't matter. Believe it or not. Your choice. In fact I prefer you don't believe it. That way if we ever happen to line up on the street I can take your money that much easier.

For what it's worth, I'll be running @ the NOPI event June 15-16 in ATL for all you doubters.
