yeah nt555rs are crap for the track, but they arent that bad for roll racing. The trick is to heat the tires up, im lucky bc i actually installed a pair of line locks on my car, so its probably that ur tires need to be heated. If anyone has questions on my line lock id be happy to share what i have.

Bolio: Yeah there was a bit of lag in the beginning bc i didnt give it enough rpm at launch, Im still searching for that sweet spot (rpm wise) at launch.

What we're u launching at? That's one of the trickiest things on the Z34.....everyone I know drag racing their Z34 has a poor to semi decent 60 ft....The track set up and prep has a lot to do with it...What I've come to find out with our track is that what myt be the sweet spot this week won't necessarily be the same sweet spot next week due to track prep...

I was launching at around 2500 rpm. I even tried ecutek launch control but that didnt work out well. Just turned into a lot of spinning and some wheel hop. It def is tricky and the track prep was pretty awful compared to the place we are going at the end of the month. Theres a lot of learning and practicing to do w tuning and testing. I cant wait. Im gonna aim for 1.6-1.7 60ft.

Super excited to see the new results! That was your first time ever at a 1/4 mile too wasn't it? Dude trip #2 is a whole dif experience. You know what to expect, now you can focus on times rather than just surviving. LOL

Reviving the thread....After several months I finally went back to the drag strip....and after setting up I was disappointed to find out that the timer and tree were down so it was just straight grudge races. Last time I went to the track I clocked a 12.8 @ 109mph....that was before switching to EcuTek and getting tuned by Seb @ Specialty Z.....

With no tree or timer I did the next best thing to pace myself..... I asked a GTR to do a run...Although I didn't take the W...the race was a great experience....The GTR with a TOMEI exhaust was last timed doing the 1/4 mile at 11.7 @ 128mph. Figured I'd share my humbling loss. Although the track prep was terrible with no VHT laid down on the track, in the end I was content with the race.

NICE!!! I heard you using LC. What did you preset it at? Looks like you spun for a while. I've still been playing with this trying to find that sweet spot. I STILL have yet to be able to go to a 1/4 mile The lame track here requires a fire suit.

I was launching at 4100K RPM....This is with no VHT laid and without RRTC. I also wasnt able to warm up my drag radials properlyn due to not having the ability on my map. Got with Seb and got both the RRTC and ability to brake while burning out without killing power to the Throttle Chambers......EcuTek is awesome. Haven't had a chance to check these new features out yet as I am in the process of getting ready to install the Air 2 Air kit from TopGunz onto the Stillen S/C. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will be able to go out and try the new features.

RRTC is traction control I think, but I didn't know ecutek has the ability to add the brake and throttle feature for burnouts!!? Was that just a tuning thing or something you had to purchase equipment wise as well? I believe Hojin actually purchased something for that.
