SSoooo...I suck at drag racing...for now haha.
Finally got the Z out on a drag strip for the first time boosted and I need more practice!! Car ran perfectly: tires sticking, clutch grabbing, water/oil temps good, boost holding, but driver sucked! As you can see in the video, I NEED to work on the LAUNCH...having a hard time finding the happy medium between bogging off the line and spinning tires. I was experimenting between 3K-5K rpm and tire pressures from 20-25 psi. Was also going back/forth between staying in 4th and shifting to 5th at the end of passes. I've had an issue with maxing out the MAFs at redline when tuning so I was being conservative with going into higher rpms, but car ran great past 7K...thinking I can take it a little longer in gear next time.
Got in only a few decent passes; fastest times were:
60' = 2.122
1/4 mile = 12.448
MPH = 120.03
DEFINITELY room for improvement!
Approx conditions were 84F, 83% humidity, 30.00in barometric...it was stupid hot/humid...perspiring like crazy and stupid gnats/bugs everywhere. Would definitely like to go back when its cooler for more practice.

Progress....got a deal on a Seibon TS hood but didn't like the full carbon look, so painted it. Traded the RPF1s for NT03s because better offsets...
Why the better offset? I have the same rears, they fit good. The front I went with a +45 with a 20mm spacer so +25 overall. I'm guessing you had the +15's?

Yup, for the RPF1s they were +15 offset which poked out a lot in the front, but the rears were good. These are a +27 offset in the front.
