Friday should be my first track day this year and opening day for Bremerton raceway. This will be my first day on 10psi, hopefully all goes well. I am going in for the tune tomorrow :happydance:

Im going to be the first to trap 130+ lol

That'll be cool :tup:

I didn't get the tune done, the clutch was slipping so I am going to try breaking it in more and hope that works

I was planning on going this past Friday, but Capitol Raceway is under new management and closed indefinitely :facepalm:

no it's Azure Blue. PHENOMenalVinyl did a full vinyl wrap on it. The FX's unfortunately get rock chips all over the place especially the side rear doors.

Doing some major weight redux and trying to break 12's with it.

its my daily ... and having to deal with waxing and detailing the black M37 i rather spend less time noww

I'm definitely gonna give 25 psi a shot next time I go out. I'm actually gonna probably be stock a little while longer, end of semester stuff and work are keeping me real busy and away from my car! It'll at least give me a chance to improve my stock times.

Went to the track last saturday only was able to run 5 times so a 13.0 was my best on the new tires, but that was also straight into a 15mph head wind lol. On the final run of the day I got the feel of the tires and how I was able to launch it whith the best results and that got me the 13.0 should have been in the 12's again but oh well just need to hit the track again this spring or fall.

What tires and what were the 60s?

Lemme know when you go back to the track.

I'd love to see an fx50 in the 12's. I had an fx45 and I loved that car. Always wanted to put a 100 shot on it and see what it would do but I never got around to it.

Tires ADO8's and 60' times where 2.0ish. I know if I was able to get more runs I would have been in the 12's it was only my third time actually driving the car this year and I only got five runs that day. Didnt heat the tires enough and that caused me to not be able to launch the car any higher than 2.5k except on the last run which was the 13.0 time. maybe at the end of this month I might try and make it back to Byron.

well, had my first time out this weekend with the new setup and tune on the car. There was way too much wheel spin, the ET can be much lower but I'll fix this :D

Best I did was 12.35 @ 121 and 60ft didn't show but I was a consistent 2.0-2.2

370Z TT (test-tune) drag racing - YouTube

This is EXACTLY how I did my first time out. (12.28 @121). Then, 11.98, then 11.72, then....

Keep at it. Get tires. Props.

Nice :tup:

121 trap speed is excellent. What tires are you using? If you're trying to do well on street tires, I'll give some advice, give up now. Get some drag radials or slicks and you'll be much more satisfied.

I started with street tires on my supercharged Challenger. Best I could ever do was 12.82 at 119-120. Went to a M&H drag radial and instantly went 12.0 at 121 and eventually learned to shift better and got down to 11.53 at 124.

Slapped slicks and skinnies on the Challenger Saturday for the first time. 11.19 at 126. Makes it the 2nd fastest 6 speed Challenger in the world at this point. First is a 10.95...notice I said 6 speed. The auto guys are well in to the 9s and some 8s.

60 foot was 1.65 and it's a 4300 pound car. That Z will take off like a rocket with traction.

P.S. if you guys would rather me not post info about this Challenger on here just lemme know, but figured some of the same principles I learned with it will help you with the Z.
