Yep, its your 1.8sec 60' that does it. Z's are great top end, but a b1tch to hook up. Nice run!!

By the way, Ive seen guys actually pull better 60' times than that with stock tires on NA Z's. The trick is to flatten out your neg camber in the rear and decrease your spring rate along with only about 25lbs of tire pressure.

 

hmmh....I did a 7.778 et on a 1/8 mile....you're calling that a bad run?????? That equals an 11.6 on a 1/4 mile...

Show me any 350Z out here in southern cali that has beaten that on stock internals.

the 12.4 that IGTOTTAZ was referring to was on a different run in fontana where I screwed up my launch.

In any case I heard about the 0 Camber solution, I'm most likely going to get that done next time I get my car serviced since according to perf nissan I need an alignment to go with that.

and fyi stock tires on 445 hp will not pull a better 60" they will simply spin and spin and spin and spin.... sorry it's late I'm tired

 

I was referring to ONLY the 60' time. Ive seen pretty stock motors beat that (60') on street tires with the suspension and tire setup that I stated. Im not taking anything away from your run, it was great!! The camber makes a HUGE difference out of the hole, but you wont be able to bank for d1ck anymore.

 

What does that mean: "but you wont be able to bank for d1ck anymore." ????

it's kinda funny actually because if I get 0.2 seconds faster I get kicked off the track for not having a roll bar (7.5 is the limit). So for now I have to try to get as close to it consistently but not get faster since I don't want to get an ugly roll bar in my car till next year

 

It means that when you flatten out your camber to give a full contact patch when your weight shifts at launch, the opposite will be true when atytempting to put your car intoi a high speed bank. The stock negative camber setup is excellent for road racing, you will be sacrificing that.

 

so you're saying I loose on the top end if I lower the camber?

I'm into Drag Racing, I need max performance for a 1/4 mile. Road Racing is not my thing. However at this point I still want the car to be a reliable day to day car.
I was told that the 0 camber setting only has a somewhat negative effect when it comes to sharp turns such as canyon runs and so forth.
Is that assumption wrong?

 

Just imagine if you're going in a straight line, your tires dont have any lateral movements, just forward torque, therefore the wall of the tire doesnt move right?
If the wall doesn't move, then if your camber isn't 0 you won't get full c ontact w/ road surface since there is no lateral movement on tires.
W/ negative camber, your tires are slightly rotatated so when you turn, there will be lateral forces on the tirewall, which would cause the already rotated tires to unrotate, and you would have full contact while turning, but only during turns. Negative camber in a straight line means partial contact of tire to road surface.

 

I'm going to hold off on that for a while after I found out the price attached to it, gives me time to do a bit more research
