101mph, nearly 102mph, is a healthy trap at that DA. However I would have hoped for a tad more with your mods.

I trap nearly the same(100 to 101mph) in similar conditions in my sedan, which puts...

Sorry, I was talking about the Pro. I didn't name it explicitly because I haven't paid attention to the various package names available.

One thing that I would like to point out is street tuning. I don't know about the cobb unit, but with something like Osiris(end-user tuning option)+Cipher, one has all the tools necessary to make the...

A rev limiter is a computer controlled operation. However, downshifting to a lower gear beyond redline is a mechanical operation. It is physically impossible for the cpu to spin the engine down. It...

Osiris offers a valet mode as well. In fact, at least one g35 owner used the valet mode as a form of a two-step for launching at the drag strip. He basically selected the valet map, which I believe...

This behavior happened occasionally on the previous generation cars, but it was fairly rare. However, when the HR motor was introduced in 07, those cars saw this behavior all the time.

13.264@104mph - and that's at 265whp/250wtq on a dynojet - in other words, about 15 to 20 horsepower less than a stock 370z, and a bit more torque than a stock 370z. But it's a g35, so there is also...

You're not going to see 110mph in the heat. I doubt you'll see 110mph, stock, even in good weather.

I'm not worried - I've got 400 passes on my car; over 200 of which were 6k+ rpm clutch drops on bfg dr's. Stock transmission, stock diff, stock axles.

I misinterpreted your post. Sorry.

But there's nothing wrong with taking your car to the drag strip. Sure, it would be stupid to by this car just to drag race it, but it's a decent performer.

This motor is a tad more coarse IMO than the HR. The HR was *much* more so than my Revup, which itself isn't as smooth as the normal VQ35DE. And I've heard from owners that moved up from the VQ30 to...

I don't have any hard metrics to back this up - but I've followed the FM/VQ35 scene for about 5 years now, and the greddy kit easily had the majority of the forced induction market for the g35/350z.

That's precisely what I'd be interested in seeing in graphical form; not too concerned with absolute numbers, just the baseline/revised graphs overlayed.

You can always have extra resonators welded inline to the exhaust. It won't eliminate the drone, but it can greatly help.
