FYI, 25 psi seems to be the sweetspot for my Z. You lose a little mph when you drop the rear tire pressure but get better traction (and hopefully a better ET). It sometimes helps to pump up the air pressure in the front tires to help weight transfer. Just practice, see what whats and doesn't, that's what makes it fun.

Ok I'll see what I can do. Going a bit earlier this time so I can get some more runs in. I'll see what I can do with normal tire pressures first and then start lowering if needed. So with the better traction of lower tire pressure, should I be launching at a slightly higher rpm? At normal pressured the sweet spot seems to be around 1500 rpm for the 7AT.

Launch as hard as you can. I think the stock torque converter locks up at 1500 RPM? Can anyone confirm? If that's true, then that is the max RPM you can launch at.

No that's not the max, but I'm not sure what the max is exactly. Usually if I launch at higher than 1500, I get wheelspin at launch and my 60 ft times are crap. I guess since lowering the pressure will increase traction, I should be able to launch a bit higher.

There should be massive crowds there this weekend. I'm sure 100 Hondas will be there. Will I be the only 350Z? It would be nice to have company, but when you're the only 350z, there's always a friendly crowd, checking you out/wishing you luck. The class I'll enter(no other choice available) is 11.5 & higher. That class should have by far the most cars. Why didn't they put a 13.0 & up class as well? Working trans. a big plus. Because of the number of cars in my class, I'll have to risk cutting the lights in every race. My attitude going in is NOT, (from forum wars) "representing with class". I'm going there to win!!!! I'm sorry, not being cocky. It's just that here, in 370z.com, many guys race & want to do better. At 350z.com, most prefer dyno racing...... Sorry, but that's how I think & talk....

Good luck! Hey i saw that forum wars vid with the 350z vs the mustang. Was that you? If so i kinda felt like you held back. No offense, i just wanted to see the Z do better.
