^ it could be the weather? Is your Z a 7AT or 6MT?

Maybe the car was having an off day? I've seen as high as 3mph from different days at the track with no changes to my car. How is your shifting?

If I power shift second my car will spin and bounce off rev limiter with these 305 hankooks and even my old nt05s , esp since the gears and in the colder temps , lol...
id love to get to the the track with some real race rubber on a light set of wheels... 12.9 before gears on a 80 degree day with only a 1.95 60 foot and being scared shlt of losing control because i was on bias ply slicks that were old and cruddy swaying back and forth all the way down the track... I swear it effected my driving atleas to the tune of atleast .2 off my time. I was more worried about losing control than concentrating on redlining and shifting.. never went back with stock rubber, but my new gts' are heavier than the 19s so im sure that not gonna help this season.. but i wonder how good the re11s are the jnaut even without them being new anymore can powershift second.. maybe i gotta slow it down a litttle but the cars goes buck wild if i powershift second... haha also my car def pulls and makes power all the way to redline at 7700 and def needs to be raised... tranceformer your time on almost stock is super impressive so your driving must be top notch... Id love to get down there with you guys too, thats if i Keep this car... :0( ....

Oh sh!t I didn't know the tracks were open yet...now I gotta finish my exhaust setup ASAP!!
I guess oil temps and DA can account for the difference. But 6mph is still a HUGE difference. I didn't realize the Z's were that picky about oil temps. On a few 80 degree days I trapped 100.x so I can imagine seeing 103+ with a good DA. After my setup change I'm hoping for 104 (so I can somewhat keep up with my buddy with a 370) ![]() Btw...powershifting definitely helps, but I don't think you'd see ~2mph change in trap. I could be wrong though.

What time were they open till when you went? I was thinking about going after our cruise to PA, but I wouldn't be able to get there till like 2 at the earliest. You think I would be able to get a decent number of runs in?

They're open 9-4. I got there at 1 last week and got 20 runs with a half hour left to go. I think you'll be good.

As far as the "powershifting" goes, I've actually found no gain from a 1-2 powershift and minimal from 2-3 and 3-4. My car actually spins less when i powershift 1-2 and ive found the ecu occasionally freaks out and pulls power for a second when i do it as well.
