12.8009 @ 110.33

ya, shorter gear shift ratios than stock...stock gears are taller yielding longer shift durations... higher gears give shorter shifts, which in turn gives you more usable torque to the rear

not sure on the makers, though there are a few out there.. i was looking around on the bay awhile back and found some gears for the 370z...

Meth and WI don't help as much on NA cars as they do on Turbo. Its more of a safety margin I guess if you are tracking the car, but otherwise there isnt much you can do to make use of the higher octanage.

Update
Talked to Sam at GTM last night. I should havae the first GTM, SC. in Canada.
We are looking at 400 to 420 RWHP. He also will have a shift kit and I asked for a 2900 stall torque converter. He said that they are working on the 7 AT. and the parts will be out shortly. We have the rear tire situation worked out with Mickey Thompson 305 / 35./18 drag radial 11, with 18 /10.5 Rims. The front tires will be the sport package,spare rims. Still looking for tire for that set up.
11.s here we come.

Stillen 350 kit was terrible? Most never made what a bolt on 370 makes due to the tiny blower.

So for us cali boys who only have access to 91 octane we won't see those results I am guessing ever. Race fuel is one thing but cali sucks for any kind of import or car modding due to all the restrictions and limitations.

Up date, Ryan from Injecteted Performance emailed yesterday to tell me that my Volk GT 37. rims are at his shop.( 18/ 10.5 / + 15)
I should have them by the end of January. They are a perfect match for the 305/35/18 mickey thompson 11 drag radials. I also got another spare tire rim for the front.
Still looking for a 185/60/18 front tire to fit them.
If it takes my 60 ft times to 1.86, it should run 12.67.
My headers have been coated and the crank pulley is also ready to be installed.
Now if Sam only sends me my GTM SC.
11's here we come

I'm kind of amazed you're turning your incredible handling sports car into a straight line drag car. Seems like there are better setups to turn into dragsters...

Nice times though

That's the beauty of the Z, with minor suspension upgrades after that it'll also become a track beast.. 2 in 1
