How to run 1/4 mile, First time

Proper suspension set up will help eliminate wheel hop. Better bushings etc, anything that prevents your toe angle changing during acceleration. Better tires may eliminate hop, as a side affect, but if u increase power (go FI or something) wheel hop will come back unless your suspension is right. I haven't taken my Z to the 1/4, not sure if I will, but most of my recent and upcoming mods are diff, diff bushings, camber and traction arms and new bushings. These will all help u put more usable power to the ground. Now talking specifically for the 1/4, getting the best tires are a must as well.

Awesome !!!

What suspension mods have you done ... ?
Any specific information would be greatly appreciated.
Suspension know how is not my forte tho' I've tried my best to find out about it.
My Z is supercharged and I did go with the Mickey Thompsons after experiencing some vicious wheel hop with the Michelin PSII's.

I have put in camber arms at the rear and set the camber to zero so far at the advice of other members ...I am only interested in the 1/4 mile.

Feel free to steer me in the right direction if I post something that is not expressed correctly...I am here to learn as well as share.

Thanks,
Bob

I'm no suspension guru, I'm learning everything as I go on this car (my first sports car). Anyways I have a lot of plans for this car and I'm just going about it little by little, getting all the basics locked down before I go FI. Right now I've just got swifts and some spl rear camber arms. I want to replace all the mushy stock bushings so I'm going to get some spl traction arms and their rear bushing set. I've got some whiteline diff bushings and I'll get them installed as soon as I get my quaife diff. This is everything I think you would need on the rear, the only other upgrade would be to get coilovers. U want to zero out your toe, and keep it that way. When your car squats down during launch, your toe comes in and you loose some traction causing wheel hop. All the suspension upgrades I mentioned help minimize this. Now u know as much as I do

Great Info ...
Already have the rear Camber Arms and camber set to '0'
Will double check the toe ...
I also have the Quaife LSD ... replaced the Nissan LSD with it.
The Quaife is a little different than the OEM which I think is a hydraulic LSD .. ? forgot aaarrrggghhh...
The Quaife bites more and with the added HP and seems to want to break loose a little bit quicker but really digs in ... not a big problem tho'.
Will fwd your info to the shop, especially the bushings ... have talked it over with them regarding the coilovers previously.
Bad roads here in NJ...

for drag racing and if thats what u plan to use the car for ditch the OEM rear camber. get as close as you can to flat. that'll give you more traction. i DD mine as well as drag race so i leave mine OEM. still broke 13 seconds like that.
