Him and Blades must have been running down hill. :icon17:

Definitely doable. My best run was a 13.3 totally stock

The jet sizes are already rated for a dual intake feed. It doesn't work like that. If you were using a single fogger your jet sizes would be a a lot higher. Those jets that you stated according to Zex is a little bit higher than a 100 shot crank or flywheel as Zex doesn't rate by the wheels. 38N 21F is what Zex states as their 100shot with a dual fogger system. So you are a little bit higher than a 100.

The reason why you are getting a slower time is you are losing traction due to more power.:tiphat:

Nope! Completely STOCK! I just had new rear Potenzas tires that had already been worn in and I just cooled my car for a few hours before doing the quarter mile.

Nope, Orlando Speedworld is one of the best dragstrips here in Central Florida. Before this run I also nailed a 13.2

I need to get rid of this wheel hop :( Couldn't get any clean run in

Hey guys, we're gonna have a drag night with the Central Florida Z Club August 22nd if you want to come join us!

Bananaz I feel you man, wheel hop was killing me. I had every weather condition against me, it was 93° out, high humidity, bad track prep, no gas in my tank, stripped interior, no spare tire or subwoofer box to help me get traction. I spun out everywhere, and when I didn't my revs would drop too low. I couldn't even break 14 seconds. Super depressing.


Zdayz 2014!!

Yup haha everytime I launched it around 3k rpms, it would wheel hop terribly and pop out of gear due to it. One run I didnt launch it at all and kinda drove off the line and ran 13.9

He will be borderline, even at 20 pounds in the rear. 12.8 s & 12.9 s is what I was thinking too. But, it can do it stock, if he adjusts his weight. He could even go as low as 19 psi max - especially with his 18" wheels. I give him 12.8 until he posts a slip.

I went I think 18 or 20 psi in the rear and hooked really well. Didn't launch high either maybe 2500.

I knocked my ET down to 8.28 s @ 85.88 mph; 12.75 s @ 109 mph. Time slip uploaded & video. K&N Drop in's only, Achilles Sport2 tires all-season summer radials. I'm no longer stock because of the K&N's (The NISMO panels aren't available in the U.S), but here is the slip & video. Its vs. a Camaro SS, which is descent for what was available on Halloween, the rest were IHRA drag cars & only a few street cars. I might try against one with NOS & full bolt on's next time, or a few slower ZL1's.

47 degrees in Orlando? Floridians actually leave their houses when it's that cold?

^ yes we do! i had 3 layers on too haha

i was down there this past weekend in shorts and a tshirt getting dirty looks from the locals who were all bundled up lol

great drag weather though for the southerns who usually dont get that low if temps for air intake purposes. just need to get those tires wamr and sticky for the colder pavement.

based on your 1/8 mile and mods i think your 1/4 mile guesstimate is off.

i dont see anything sub 12.9 with that slip you posted.

maybe if the track is downhill but thats about it.

Come on down to San antonio raceway this Friday and let's see if you can break 12's. I'm with the rest of the guys here thinking you would run a low 13 but doubt the 12 second realm. See you there if you can make it

yea i like the track since i do have my personal best there.

i will be returning to beat that soon with fresh tires. whenever i did mine the tires were like 50%

maybe even with some DRs :stirthepot:

Going back to Capitol Raceway to try that? I might have to come watch If you do.

I'm honestly surprised anyone can get ANY bests there. Their track-prep seemed lax at best, and you're lucky to get 2-3 runs on a normal day.

That being said, if it works for ya, great!

And DR's seem to be the no-duh route. Never understood drag racing on streets (if you're serious about it), but $$$ is an issue for many so it is what it is.

Funny thing is, the prep is actually an improvement from where it was a couple years ago.

i will have posts up about it next spring if and when i make the trip.

dude that track produced a great ET for me and much lower than the tracks here. i dont know if it's weather, sea level, track prep, etc....

my best time up here is 13.0

at capitol i ran back to back 12.89/12.90 ask blades lol :stirthepot:

and the DRs are coming i just am fine tuning what and how i want to do it.
looked into going 18x12 wheels for some serious meat but cant really find 18s that will clear sport brakes. and no i will not shave or remove my calipers. i pride myself on driving to the track the same way i drive the car everyday lol no trailer queen. also may just go OEM rays with 305 DRs or go 19x11's? or so with 315-325 DRs

Blades ... how the hell you been brotha?

Good man, how about you?

Not bad at all, you still have your Z?

Yeah I still have it, at least for another year. Then it's time to start looking for something else.

i should report you homos for being off-topic :stirthepot:

With a better launch, I am confident 13.0 is achievable.

You need to pull the brake fuse and do a proper burnout for a good launch

If I had DRs or slicks, yes. You do not want to do a burn out with street tires. A quick chirp to get any debris or water of your tire is sufficient.

I can't agree with you. The cold tires would just free spin and lose traction thus killing your 60' time and quarter mile time.
I run at one of the worst prepped tracks located at Orlando, fl., I ran 12.9xx with 1.9xx 60' foot bone stock with a proper burnout on my michelins a/s 3 all season in 48 degrees. There is no way I can achieve that time with my cold hockey puck rubber in that cold weather on a crappy track. I would just free spin. My other runs without the burnout were at least .3 seconds slower.

http://www.the370z.com/track-autocro...ack-times.html

How did you do your burnout ???
7AT or 6MT ???

48 degree temps on summer street tires is definitely not a good combination ... I've never had all seasons on : but gaining .3 seconds is impressive if the only variable is the burnout.

I head OSW was actually a nice track now? That was my spot back in college when I had my turbo G35.

+1

A quick burnout with street tires (on a chilly night) definitely helps. I was a non-believer until a friend told me to just do it and I ended up pulling 1.8x 60ft times on stock tires & suspension. It also helps to have a sticky track.

I've pulled 1.8s on 225s without a burnout. Street tire compound tends to get greasy when heated up. We will have to agree to disagree.

Pulled the brake fuse and brake+gas, stop, then do a quick spin to clean the tires.

The A/S 3 made by Michelin has the characteristic of summer tires with great treadwear and awesome wet performance.

Google the tire, Michelin compared it against other major summer tire brands and it came on top.

What time did you run with the 1.8 60 feet without the burnout? Was it melting the track hot and humid?

Thanks ...
I'm needing fronts (soon) this time around.
I have the Michelin PSII's - will definitely check out the A/S 3's.
Sounds like you don't need a full burn out to heat 'em up.
