Help w/ 1/4 mi. Times

chuckd05

you spun way too much off the line.. prob starting from too high of an rpm for your technique you are using... and try to shift a little faster...

Indeed I spin off the line alot but any lower rpm would cause the car to bog. We all know that there is a delay with our cars when you hit the gas at WOT then the car responds a bit slow.

As you can see it's coral/bare concrete mix.

I'll launch at 2000 rpm next with the same technique or keep the same rpm and feather the clutch.. As far as shifting, where do you get from the video that I'm shifting slow?


How does the final drive gear work the higher the number the shorter your gearing is? And the lower the number the longer it is? What's the stock final drive gear for the Z? How much of a difference has that affected your 1/4 mile time?

do what i did:

headers/tps or hfc/cbe and i was hitting 14.1-14.01 was my best

i hear your z was running better times then a twin turbo z....i think you did great

found the problem but we can talk about that somewhere else...
