It seems to be all in the launch, My first two runs ever in the Z were 14.3's with stock tires. These Michelin Pilot Sports hook up a lot better, but I still don't have the right tire pressure and launch down. I think I can hit a high 13.7, since I'm only 3/1000's off a 13.8 and I had hit the rev limiter slightly in that run and had some wheel spin in first.

Some of us go on Weds nights if you are interested. Walt

I didn't know they had drags today, I would have been there.

It's just a lot of practice and then you will be running faster.

YOU BROKE INTO 13S WALT!?!?! YOU ARE A BAD ***!!! I didnt know you hit a 13.9 ever. I still havent hit a 13.9 yet. its alot harder if you have a 6mt. My best is 14.1 in 90degree weather so hopefully one of these days i can hit a 13.9. I really dont think it will happen until i get rid of the stock rubber though.

I almost hit a 13.8. (13.003) I have Louzer's diff in my car now, so it even more of a traction problem. once I get that figured out 13.8's will be normal.

OOOps! that would be a 13.903 that I ran, but that is still almost a 13.8++.

I suppose that is almost like being a virgin though.
