Mods on the car are basic, intake/spacers/ssim/headers/ypipe/fastcat and a mostly stock catback. I'm no longer tuned, took the SAFC off.

First run:

60': 2.044
330: 5.787
1/8: 8.872
MPH: 80.12

Second run:

60': 2.039
330: 5.808
1/8: 8.888
MPH: 80.51

I really feel like it has 8.7s in it since I was shifting pretty slow b/c my stupid shifter came apart on the way to the track (nut on the linkage fell off, couldn't find it) so I was trying to make sure the linkage didn't fall off again.

For tires, I actually ran the 8.5" 350z tracks with the stock 245/45/18 potenzas on the front. They're a good bit taller than my stock tires were, so it'd be optimal for me to get some 15" sawblades with DRs on them.

edit: found the slip from my 3rd run that I was looking for. This one made me mad!

60: 2.010
330: 5.706
1/8: 9.080
MPH: 64.50

My shifter linkage (inside the car on the shifter) came off when I tried to shift to 3rd and i drifted across the traps. This was that 8.7 run I mentioned

 

pretty awesome 60's.

i once had the nut come off my shift linkage too, except I had the bolt installed from the bottom so when the nut came off the bolt came out too and my shift rod fell on the ground while driving. that was a fun fix on the side of the road lemme tell ya.

 

Thanks, track prep was great today. A few fox-bodies nearly took their bumpers off.

 

killer times, what was your launch method?

 

Slip the clutch pretty hard from 3500, just gradually get into the gas as I let the clutch out to make sure it doesn't bog when it fully hooks then floor it.

 

So thats about a 13.4-13.5 run?

 

Yeah anything from a 13.4-13.6 depending on how much I pick up in the last 1/8 and pull the 3-4 shift. I normally gain 23 mph in the last 1/8 so that'd be a pretty solid 13.5ish@103ish (using ricer math)

 

damn good 60 foot man... cudos on your time

 

Just as an example this is one of my runs from the badly prepped 1/4 mile track we went to:

60: 2.363
330: 6.130
1/8: 9.201
MPH: 79.45
1/4: 14.038
MPH: 101.39

 

what were your mods at the time?

 

Exact same mods as now, except I now have a 2 degree timing advance (consult). I think it was mostly hooking up that improved my time.

 

i tried calling u yesterday, but....yeahhhh.
anyways, i forgot to ask u, did u ever do that strap mod? if so, do u think it worked for u?

 

Kept ripping the strap up when it wanted to wheel hop. I'm just going to put the engine mounts in soon as I find a press to use.

My phone is deactivated atm, gotta get new service. I was using the old one under my stepdad's plan since it was free haha
