I have a few questions for everyone that ran under 15 that is not boosted...

did you take your seats out?

how much gas did you have in your tank? and what kind.?

what mods do you have?

did you drop your tire pressure?

did you follow the optimal shift points? if not what did you shift at?
(6550, 6200, 6050, 5760)

Any good advice?

Thanks

 

Well yes and no ? I have corbeau clubman seats that are 45 pounds lighter, and I do take out the back seat.

1/4 tank or less-------93 Shell or 93 Chevron (with 104 octane boost)

intake, y pipe, b pipe, exhaust, test pipe, under drive pulley, upgraded ecu

yes, 25 lbs

i have a bad habit of listening to the engine and guessing, sometimes i think doing it by the numbers would take the fun out of it. I cant really say on this one, im very close to redline.

maybe, what do you need to know? lol

Dont mention it !

 

i just left it in D.
only mods are UDP and ghetto intake when I ran. Plus removed front seat and spare. Course havin that 3.5 helps

 

sometimes yes, sometimes no

sometimes 1/4, somtimes 1/2, sometimes either one with race gas

intake, Y-pipe, MEVI, JWT/ECU

24-30 psi depending on if I am spinning

I shift at 7200 in every gear

Don't lick frogs

 

No

I don't know how much, 93 octane always.

None

No

Redline, 6300, 6000

Practice

 

No

3/8ths tank of 93 BP

Bone stock

25 psi.

Let trans do its own job

 

Full Interior (did take out spare, jack, etc. out of trunk)

1/8 tank of 93 octane

All the usual bolt ons.

20 lbs in BFGoodrich Comp T/A DR's

Shifting at 6800

Advice? Neal summed it up best: Practice.

 

I took all of my cd's,manual,spare tire and ran the tank down til my DTE was flashing(Not cool) put 5 gals of 76 super blue unleaded 100 octane set my front tire pressure at 23-24psi and ran a best of 14.92@92mph. I weigh about 260lbs and my car has a auto trans. My best 60' was a 2.2 & I screwed my potential best run by mistakenly moving the gear selector into 2nd after the dry burnout(had a car length on a 1st gen Ford Lighting when I hit the rev limiter). I got 6 runs in this night and found by doing a dry burnout was worth about a tenth on street tires. I launched pretty light so I know there's better et's in store for me with a more aggressive 60'. I want to go back real soon to shoot for a better et.

85 El Camino w/Turbo V6 swap

 

'99 Maxima, 14.7@94mph

did you take your seats out?
Nope...3250 was my race weight

how much gas did you have in your tank? and what kind.?
1/4 tank

what mods do you have?
B&M short shifter, SR Headers/ypipe, midpipe, testpipe, popcharger, Eibach springs...Grounding kit...

did you drop your tire pressure?
nope

did you follow the optimal shift points? if not what did you shift at?
(6550, 6200, 6050, 5760)
About 6k on all of them...I only raced once with the above mods and got a 14.7. If I were to use the 'recommended' shift points in the sticky then my time will definitely improve

Any good advice?

The easiest way for me to break into the 14 second category was to give up the 4th gen and hop into a 6th gen. Mid 14's are a common occurence. (stock) Nissan definetly stepped it up with the new max.

 

Seats in

Full to 3/4 tank

Greddy Evo, Cattman Y, Frankencar intake (though I trapped high enough to do it stock, just did'nt have the traction)

Tried dropping the pressure to no avail

Shifted at redline each time

Advice?, DR's

 

i ran a 14.6@95.6 with a full interior and my mods were an intake and y pipe.

i tried shifting into 4th but didnt need it. i finished the 1/4 in 3rd gear at redline.

if my clutch wasnt slipping, i might have used 4th but i didnt need to this time.

 

No
About 1/4 tank of Sunoco Ultra 94
Budget y-pipe, Budget b-pipe, JWT cone
No the first time; down to 26psi the next time
6500, 6200, 6000 - if I remember correctly...

That was for a 14.7 @ 96.58
