I'd like to see what some of these guys are running that are in the 330+WHP range. I could care less about all this talk on STOCK Z's. I want to know what it is capable of in the long run, after parts.

Hi. Nice to meet you. Could we start over without you flaming me? I'm an experienced racer. No, I'm not the fastest. If I were, I would race for a living. I live in a hot area with low humidity and track times tend to be slow (DA calculations run around 2500-3500). I objectively state the facts and make suggestions to help move this community forward. We have a lot of people speculating on how fast their 370z is. They are currently not that fast with the mods on the market, but not many people are taking their car to the track, or they are not posting their time slips for fear of being mocked. I'm simply trying to get more people to take their car to the track rather than playing arm-chair quarterback.

The fastest time I have seen posted for a 370z with no modifications is 13.36 seconds and the fastest time that I have seen for any 370z at any level of modification is 13.21 seconds from our own "ZforMe", but his DA calculation was -565, which is going to produce a very fast time.

So even with mods and very favorable track conditions, the 370z is only hitting 13.2 second quarter mile times. That is why I said I think it's going to take a set of drag radials to get into the 12's.

If you disagree, prove me wrong.

I have been out of town, but our last "test and tune" was last Friday. If I had went there after work, the DA would have been 2860 (Famoso raceway, May 29). A 12.70 sec @ 107 mph car at a DA of 2860 corrects to 13.25 sec @ 105 mph.

The seat of the pants dyno tells me the same thing. My vette ran a 12.8, but is way faster than my 370.

To be honest, my car was "bogging" from 5,000-7,000 rpm. I thought it might be from detonation (and subsequent timing retard) because the weather was almost 100 degrees and my timing is advanced over stock. So, on an empty tank I put 5 gallons of 100 octane unleaded in it and dynoed it. The breeze was running the wrong way through the shop, helping to heat soak and keep intake air temps sky high. The ambient temp was already 98 degrees. The runs were on a dynojet. The best run? 290hp. :-( with intake, exhaust, cats, headers, remapped ecu and race gas... Only 290hp. There's just no way I'm going to get into the 12's on the track where I live.

I rarely ever had tire spin probs and was seeing constant 1.9 - 2.0 60 ft times.

Famoso is a great track. One of the fastest in the country some days.

Convert that to a 3100 DA that we had on our last track day (5/29/09) and it would be an ET/trap speed of 13.85 seconds @ 98.9 mph, which would universally be considered slow in this forum. hot track in low humidity = slow track.
