A couple of bolt on parts won't give you that much better 1/4 mile time, unless you work the internals and/or FI. Especially if you think of trying to reach the 12 sec mark.

 

1/4 mile time for a bone stock 350z is 13.8. I can't see anyone doing a second faster with intake, exhaust and one or two other bolt on parts. There's a guy with a 335 with 12psi and just a couple of parts running 12's.

 

Don't mind the quote thing LOL. I hit the wrong button.

 

by non stock i mean FI

we were kinda talking about slowzsters car... its got the aps TT....

or in other words referring to a forced induction car with stock internals... if that makes any more sense to you

 

with a really good driver, and in optimal conditions, its possible, and VeeTec is a damn good driver. however, we're never gonna see conditions good enough to run that kind of time in the northwest.

1. AudibleMayhem ---Built Block -03 Tour 6spd 12.338@110.18mph 1.700 60ft Slicks
2. Sfarrah ----------------------03 Enth 6spd 12.876@107.81mph 1.750 60ft DR's


the #2 guy has bolt ons only (and a tune iirc), stock internals, and no fi. 12's is possible on stock internals in the right conditions and the right driver. and don't forget, drag radials work wonders...



what what do 335's have to do with anything? we're talking about z's here

 

idk ive never seen a z at a track anywhere run lower then a 14.1 unless it had some sort of forced induction... and ive been to tracks all over including Minnesota, Colorado, Arizona, California, and Washington... and ive been in every temp ranging from 45 degrees (minnesota) to 118 (Arizona)

 

im not saying its not possible but i dont want to believe it until i see it

 

bet I could go lower then 14.1. I did 14.4 with subs, passenger and fully aired up 19"s. If I ran with all those different I think I could do high 13's. But I may be FI soon So I may never know.

 

my bad for the tripple post but of all the cars on that list i believe i have only actually seen the injected perf car and the intense car run....

when i was there injected ran a 9.1 is at speedworld in surpise arizona

and the intense G35 i can vouch for that time being right

 

OK then, so once I get the Vortech installed (3.12 pulley) and my whole setup tuned with my UTEC, what kind of times should I realistically expect when I go back to PR?

 

non of those are where the good tracks are. there is more to it then temp, its called DA (density altitude). all the good tracks are on the east coast.

i cant say for minnesota, but all the others are known for crappy conditions for drag racing (washington isn't bad, but its not exactly great). colorado has high elevation. arizona usually has really high temps which makes it nearly impossible to have a good DA. and california is known for its dusty / slippery tracks

the times in the "top 25" thread are all verified. just cause you didn't see it with your own eyes doesnt make it impossible

you'll be running what i'm running stock with those giant and heavy 20's still on, depending on how the auto is able to put down the power. if u really want a good idea, post this up in the drag racing section. you get people looking at it that actually drag race and may have a similar setup to yours, not just a bunch of random people who rarely drag race

 

Spokane has a great track, haven't been there in years but its better than a lot of the places like Yakima (crappy) and PR.

 

blululuuuup!

 

Bluuuluuullluup

 

My bad. I thought you guys were talking about the Netacoma guy. I was looking at what he listed he has in his car.

I suppose slowzster would hit 12's if he were running higher boost. I mentioned before, that a guy with a 335 had to up his boost to 12 psi (i believe) to run 12 sec 1/4.

 

^level of boost to level of performance is completely different on different engines. even the same engine with different sized turbos, so a 335 having to run 12 psi to hit 12's doesnt mean anything in relation to a tt'd z.

slowzters car is fully capable of hitting 12's as it sits (maybe better tires, and not even dragradials, just some better street tires)

 

I understand it's about Z's. I was trying to give you something to go off of if you wanted to see what a Z can run. I'm also going with non drag radials, since most of us average ppl like to see what the car can do with street tires.

 

True to a point. Since there is a .2 sec difference between each car stock. Maybe he's just a bad driver LOL. j/k. My bad SlowZter. Maybe you should lay off all that XXX burgers.

 

I agree with you there. And we have to consider that we are not pros and we run on street tires.

We have to look at the fact that when they run these times to put up stats for the new cars coming out, they get someone who is highly qualified to drive them. And with these pros on bone stock Z's, it's running at 13.8. I don't see how the average individual who doesn't have racing experience can run a fast time, even with bolt on parts etc. With FI maybe.

 

I took my z to pir last summer had it only a cpl weeks and think I ran a 14.1-14.2 stock. Couldn't launch real well definetly think with better tires and a lsd high maybe mid 13's should be easily obtainable. Mine was stock except for a popcharger and hadn't dropped my tire pressures.
