Using the standard MT ET Streets that everyone is using :26'' x 10.5'' - 15''LT
The enforced Axles are holding up fantastic. A good investment to say the least

you can do 2.1's even 2.0's on stock tires. It's just a matter of practise.

Come out to the track on a regular basis and you'll see improvement soon...

Just awsum.. You will have to post your - Blueprint to go 1.8 for the other members.

As I asked in another post - what was the tire pressure for your M/T's
and what altitude?

I have them agt 13.5 psi now this seems to work really well for me.
I got much better burnouts by revving up to 5500 rpm in second gear. I also launched at 5200 rpm

Irwindale altitude is about 300 feet above sea level...so perfect, except it's only an 1/8 mile.

I did 5 runs, 8.01, 7.965, 7.925, 8.1 (screwed up the launch) and then the 7.778 after that I figured it was time to celebrate as this would translate into a 11.6 at the 1/4

Time for a near Sea Level 1/4 mile run.. Right on Mr. Tom Cat

no, it's the last test and tune of the year there. It's public.
I've never been there so I don't know how full it gets. I will take that day off and drive out there early.

here's the link:

Tomcat - it was nice seeing you at the track! Great runs! Glad you ended on a high note ~ @ss kickin!!!

I'm normally on G35Driver but wanted to visit what's being said on this board... Good to see that some Zs are out making a presence... Thanks for the info about Sept Speedway - very intriguing about limited entries I’m tempted, but with N/A feel a little outta place.

Sin did real well for NA VQs ~ Bested Ted and I by breaking 9!!! Would be a nice race head up on ¼ mile : )

New to this forum guys – hope you don’t mind me chiming in. Hope to see some of you at the track and dyno days!

~Mike (OCG35)

Welcome Mike!
It was nice meeting you as well, it's always great to see other Z's or G's at the tracks, not enough of us out there.
