Good luck!

We will see! I really WANT to drag race my 370z. I have all the intention in the world to do it, hopefully time and budget allow it. But wheels and tires for it are currently in the works.

I had a twin turbo 350z from early 2004 until just a couple months ago... and the last time I took it to the track was in 2004! At that point, the car had made 573rwhp at 14psi. But I was trying out a sleeved block and the sleeves settled and the headgaskets started leaking right after I got off the dyno. To run 14psi was spraying coolant all over my windshield. I went to the track anyway and ran it at 11psi, which was about 520-525rwhp IIRC. I had a 295/35/18 (i think) BFG drag radial on the car. I cant remember all the specs of the run, but I had a wheel hoppy launch, did OK after that until 4th gear the car lost a lot of power as I think the headgasket really just gave up as coolant sprayed over my windshield, it really distracted me and I missed 5th gear (which probably didnt matter because it was like right at the line) and coasted to an 11.6. Went back to a non-sleeved block and never had another problem with the car again but never got around to the drag strip again.

I guess we just wait for Z Elim's GTM Stg 2 SC Install and his built 7AT ;)

I agree with Phunk. Not many 370Z owners have the budget for FI, and only a few of those owners will be hardcore drag racers. "It's not a drag car" as most people like to say. You know it's bad when every night at the track, the GTR's outnumber the 350Z's and 370Z's combined. I've seen lots of random Z's at the track. Most never come back after their first night.

If anything I think it will be a shop car that will pull it off. Either that or a really dedicated, hardcore 370Z owner to make 10's happen.

I think with a small rear brake kit and 15 in slicks, race gas,13psi and a a few lightening modds and I would be 10's easy had I of kept the car that would have been my winter project.

Charles, thanks for those two vids. Inspiring.

I did not fare so well yesterday, and that's how it goes. Read here.

with some seat time and a set of slicks, I know i can drive a tt370 into the 10's. My very first pass on a street tires netted me 11.7's

Well if you guys don't pull it off I will when I go to the track. I just dynod 583whp and 468trq on 12psi = )
I trapped 127mph in 100 degree weather on a crappy track. That trap is good for a low 11 sec pass. And that was when I was making 527whp.

Nismo370 12-04-2011 09:31 PM

And yes I'm pushing the hell out of the stock block but oh well. Its getting built in a couple months.

The Dimer 12-04-2011 09:56 PM

Just make sure you have someone there to get a video, I wanna see it.

Nismo370 12-04-2011 10:06 PM

Will def do buddy.

It was 11.7 @ 127. And the 60ft was I think 2.1 something. I don't remember.
