well guys as i said I am still learning to drive my S.C. 5AT 350Z....but today I ran a 12.4(on street tires LOL) so i guess I am close to almost learning it....also once again thanks to TOM at NLP for guiding me and also tuning and instaklling my SC VORTECH....Now I must say that the 5AT is definetly faster than the 6MT believe it or not ....If you have doubts I will race you to prove myself....LOL........and if I loose, I will give TOM PORTER TO race you coz he is profesional......

 

HOOOOOT man..def. believable...i saw a vortech z auto against a mid 12 sec evo and blew the doors off of him...people dont give auto enough credit sometimes

 

do you have to rebuild your engine for this?

 

congrats ^__^
thats a real good time =)

 

12.38 (on 245/45 street tires) and 6MT. You can race me anytime Then again you did run about the same time as I did, but about 4mph less than me. Thats kinda sad on my part or really good on your part

Goodjob though man. I really need to get my 60ft. down. I am horrible at launching my car. Plus my 295-18" street tires will be here in February, so hopefully that will help a bit.

 

wow thats great time to^^^^^^^

 

CJ,
Damn good!!! What MPH on that pass and what 60' time? Anybody wanna buy my 350Z track edition so I can go get a Grand Touring Automagic?

 

nice work tom, that car must have the perfect setup for traction, i spin the hell outta 26x15x8 inch MT slicks, of course i only ran them once with 15.5 pounds of air, too much for as cold as it was, but there was about over 200 hundred cars out at the track last night, so i only ran the slicks once...

 

U N B E L I E V A B L E.......

Congrats CJ. BTW: I may need another phone.

 

Yeah,
I stopped going to Speedworld back in 2000 'cause they had absolutely no decent prep work on the track unless it was the week after a BIG event. My old Saleen would only run 1.55-1.60 60 foot times while it would run 1.30-1.35 on the bumper in Bradenton, Gainesville, and Moroso. That was with a 28x9x15 which is only 8.6 inches wide and I would always run 15-18psi in them.

 

Nice work!!!!!

 

im always up for a race cj if you think u can handle it .

 

Call me when ever you need another phone I will hook you up with a good deal!!

 

alright your gonna make me get my car running right aren't you. Tom get ready

 

Congrats! That is an awesome time. I have been trying to hit the 12s since I got my Vortech installed. My best so far is 13.437@104. This is with very similar mods: TS headers, Injen TD Exhaust, Vortech with 3.12 pulley and Kinetix manifold.

When you refer to the 10psi pulley, are you talking about the 2.87 pulley? What are your HP and TQ numbers?

 

i wonder if that kinetix manifold is really hurting the cars it is on?? you should be running a lot faster than that, i have a cold air, test pipes and a plenum spacer and i am running 13.6 at 102.x and some change, i am guessing that the kinetix manifold might be causing the cars that it is on to run bad, have you switched back to the stock one to try it?? i am curious, the manifold looks great but i wonder about the performance...

Matt, have you tried to put your stock plenum back on to try it and see if your car felt stronger??

 

Congrats, that is a great time for a SC 350Z!

No, I have not tried that. I really can't do that at this time either because I have sold both my lower and upper plenums since I bought this one. Also, my car has always been really slow for what I had done to it. When I was N/A, I had headers, test pipes, Injen exhaust, popcharger and the upper plenum and was still ONLY running 14.1@98. I know a guy here in Bham who is running 13.6 N/A with a 5AT and less mods than I had when I was N/A. Go figure.

 

CJ has the 3.12 pulley and essentially identical peak hp and tq numbers to what you have listed. There is no reason at 367rwhp you should be at 104mph. We had predicted CJ to hit 114 by the time he learned how to "drive" it with the supercharger and he is already in the 112.?? range. Can you forward your dyno graph to me and I'll overlay it with CJ's throughout the entire rpm range.

 

104 doesn't sound right @ all. I trapped that with the 3.33 pulley, no tuning, -10 timing, and a loose belt. What's your 60ft time?
