I am in ohio until july I just got my tonsils taken out day before yesterday. and I have some stuff I have to put on before I go to spinworld.

 

Did I ever give you my cell #? If not PM me and I will. Shoot me a text when you get back. You can borrow my Mickey Thompsons if you don't have any and want to take a shot at a sticky tire time. Those things hook. I only had spin when I didn't get them heated, it was a slow night and I babied it though, 13.5 @ 103

3 passes, then it was too late.

I'm going for much better times and broken axles this time


Hope the recovery is smooth, tonsils are at least fairly minor.

 

My friend has an 06 GT with clutch, flywheel, underdrive pulley set, catback, test pipes, y pipe, intake, and a tune making 325whp.

I have a full bolt on and tuned HR Z with a clutch and lightweight flywheel making a bit over 310whp.

20 roll / 1st gear - he pulls a car when i lose traction, as soon as i hook 2nd he stops pulling, i shift 3rd i pull back, when i shift 4th i pull hard. By 140 im in front by 2-3 cars.

50 roll / 2nd gear - we stay even through 2nd gear and i pull when he shifts 3rd and keep pulling slowly. About 3 cars by 140.

These races were before my 4.08 Gears and off my nitrous

 

I love all my 350Z brothers and sisters. Looking forward to seeing you in the Top-25.

 

Hey, just wanted to add that alot of factors come into play when it comes to racing... Driver, tire pressure, car weight, rim size, etc.

If your willing to race for 50 bucks, you should find out EVERYTHING he has in his car. He could have a FD upgrade and the car can look completely stock. FD upgrades on mustangs really make the car alive.

Be careful if you race the stakes!

 

Hes a close friend of mine and I know exacttly what he has.. Thanks for the advice.

I just got to wait for it to stop raining then i'll be able to run

 

Thats a pretty impressive set-up. Most likely you will want to post your time here: https://my350z.com/forum/drag/233840-top-25-1-4-mile-times-for-tt-st-supercharger-nitrous-bolt-ons-stock.html

 

I got such a good laugh david I made it my sig lol

 

I promise ill post a timeslip the next time i run at the track, just waiting till i need new tires on the back (Waiting to slap on some Nitto 555R's )

 

That is one happy dyno!

have you drag raced your car? what did you run? what trap speed?

 

You don't need nitto 555r's I have nitto invo's and i hook like crazy.

 

^not trying to hate or anything, your 3rd place run in the screen shot above shows only a 2.0x 60 ft time, that not really hooking like crazy...

with drag radials (such as the 555r's) you should be pulling 1.8's or better. and thats a significant difference, i had a race against a mustang ('67 i think) at the track this passed weekend that pulled a 1.8 to my 2.0x, that was an instant 2-3 car lengths...

 

Mickey Thompson's FTW.

That is all.

 

Call it a happy dyno if you want, i dynoed on a correctly calibrated dynojet.

And I ran a 13.3 @ 107 with a 2.185 60ft on street tires before gears and on a slower tune.

 

Really? How come your slip hasn't been posted in the drag section? Post it up!

 

at 310 whp (true dynojet), you should be trapping better than 107

if you look at the link below, the number one spot is a 107 trap, veetec (#2 spot) has had 107 traps stock also (but not with quickest et). at 310 whp you should be trapping at 110+

https://my350z.com/forum/3035974-post7.html

and fyi, dynojets don't have "calibrations", they just have no correction, sae correction, and std correction, so if you were on a dyno that was calibrated, you could have been on a mustang dyno (which numbers are easy to inflate), or possibly something else

i'm not hating on you, just letting you know whats going on...

 

Sorry, you're absolutely right. What i meant to say was corrected, not calibrated.

Dyno numbers aren't anything anyways, it's all up to the driver. I didn't post the time slip because it's not good enough to be posted imo.

I'm sure i can make 110+ traps, but its just the 60 ft's that are killing me. With a 2.0 60ft im 100% positive i can trap a 110+.

Talk isnt much, but like i said before, next time i go to the track i'll post a time slip if its worthy. Just waiting on some nice grippy tires for the back

 

from my own personal experience, pulling a 2.00 vs a 2.185 won't result in a 3 mile gain. in fact, the trap speed might actually fall a little bit, but the et will be better...

btw, i'd suggest keeping the stock tires till you are able to consistantly pull 2.0 60ft's before moving to better tires. that way when you do get better tires, you'll be able to actually use them to their full potential rather than leaving grip on the table... my 2 cents...

 

Wurd. I've only been to the track twice, First time only ran a couple times and the second time I got a little over ten runs in.

From my experience, the shorter the 60 ft', the better the time & trap.

I was running consistent 13.6's @ 105-106 with 2.3 60 ft's and when I got the 2.185 60 ft, it improved my time and trap to 13.3 @ 107.

 

The quicker your ET the less your trap speed is typically. I know for sure you will not gain 3 mph just from a .2 difference in 60 ft. The way it works is every .1 off your 60' is .2 off your et. So say your 60 ft on that 13.3 run was a 2.2. At best with a 2.0 60' which is pretty decent you'd run a 12.9 @ 106 or so.
