So how do you know your car at 3rd gear/55mph is at its best? Ive driven a Greddy kit with upgraded snails Id disagree but what do I know

 

Greddy car in 3rd at 55 is a lag turd. Need to be going 65 to be in 3rd.

 

^That was on my old Tn setup I gotta play around with my car a little bit to find its new sweet spots now... So it pry wont be the same.



Haltech Ems
Greddy TT kit with 20g Turbo's
Arias Extreme Duty .20 over (new ones)
Crower rods (existing)
Snow Performance Methanol kit
CJM Fuel System Stage 1
Chit load of other things...

Car was already done, but ran into some problems and couldn't figure out solution. So now they are tearing it apart again and starting over....

 

Who did your 20 upgrade? You not worried about the shafts breaking?

 

My car at 50mph in 3rd on stock gearing was FAR from a turd If you agree with me why did you say I was scared to run from that mph when I brought this point up earlier?

D350Z-c'mon man your using another set-ups strong points to call out a mph to run!?

 

^forced performance I believe. Shafts....?

 

Tyler going to join the meth ranks anytime soon??

 

Bert you know when theres a roll race, both people have to agree on a mph.. I was just throwing it out there lol, when the time comes im sure i will have a set mph!

 

Well I guess our definitions of lag are different. Its was a joke, thats why I said "scured" and not "scared". If I start in 3rd at 55, yes the car will start to pull good, but doesnt have the instant slam it does at 65.

 

Ive just heard that the 20g upgrade puts a lot of stress on the shaft and in some cases can cause them to snap.

 

Maybe eventually but 110 is doing me good right now (and it smells good too ). I have some future plans that might require some more octane, so I will wait and see!

 

I hear ya +100

DZ doesnt know this yet though!

 

65mph the rpms are pretty high around 5800ish... twins are effiecent at these speeds?

Bert what are your punches with the 3.3

 

Bro what are you driving!

I am doing like 70-75mph in 3rd @ laround 4300K.

We are talking about a nissan 350Z right?

 

What gears do you have... What year? in 4th im around 4000

 

3.5 gears
I have a two thousand and five model Z

 

DZ-its not that high, and Luie-its not that low, 80mph in 4th is 5000rpm's 70mph in 3rd IIRC on stock gearing is around 5500rpm's.

DZ-I pick the poison differently for different people, and what would make the best race. For example Luie's car is crazy from 5000rpm's on, so I wouldnt run him from 60mph making him go to 3rd down low and then brake boost him. We ran from 65-75mph in our runs, worked great for us both. Non drivers with stock gearing would compalin "but I have to shift right away if I start at 70mph" LOL, Luie didnt care, you gotta shift eventually!

btw DZ-what do you mean "twins are efficient at these speeds?" in regards to 5800rpm's!?! You make peak power at 6200rpm's or AFTER, of course they are good there...you have lots to learn young grasshoppa....

 

im around 5500 at 70 in 3rd with the 3.5 rear

 

I LOVE 70 rolls. The power is instant and feels amazing!

 

^Spoken like a man who knows his powerband, NA, ST even TT with stock gearing or 3.3 FD, 70mph in 3rd is the hot $hit...
