I took my 370 Z to the track for the Ontario Z Drag day at St. Thomas Dragway ( Canada) 2 weeks ago. My average pass was 13.42 @ 107.9. Its a 7 AT.
My car had 286 RWHP with a Stillen G3 intake. Base line was 266. Elevation was 785 ft.
If you look at the article were the car ran 13.1?. They rolled the car for the first foot.
The more runs i made the higher the times went. Having nitrogen filled tires I watched the tire presure go to 40 lbs. I did not let the nitrogen out as i have no way to replace it.
When i let the car cool for 1 hour it ran a 13.201 @ 103. ( i hit the limiter in 4th.) My fault!!. If i ran the tires at 26 psig it would have gone 12's easy. ) My slicks from my 2003 Z do not fit.
60 ft times!!!! 2.09 to 2.19 and higher. There is no way to get traction of the line.
My 0 to 60 mile times based on the 1/8 mile and trap times. 4.41 seconds with a 2.09. 60 ft time.
I have another modifation to the car. It has 4.08 gear in the diff. (i changed differenatal)
My next upgrades will be the stillen CBE, berk cats, headers, and a tune from Cob.
Sam at GTM will be making me a custom tune for my car when i send him the data.
I also removed the spare tire, tools and anything else that i could to lighten the car.
I tried to fit my RO Ja formula 5's on the car with 275 toyo's and i have to change the valve stem to clear the calipers. once this is done I can lower the air preasure in the rear tires and we will see what the car will do. I can cut189 to 1.90. 60 ft times with these tire.s With slicks my best time is 1.86.
Lets get back to the 13.1? run done by the magazine. Did they start there run 1 foot back of the startng line and tripped the lights from a moving start ?
That would make a big difference!!!
I would love to post my time slips but i do not know how to do ?
My time for the 370 is the quickist one to date.
Mt times are certified by the Ontario Z club of Canada.
The next drag day is in Septmber it will run 12's.
But its not a stock car from the dealer show room.
My current Z is a 2003 stillen 5 At that runs 13.09s
It is currently being updated to a GTM 4.2, stroker with 850 wolf TTBB with a SFR 5 AT.
tuned with a haltec. Sam at GTM is helping me with this project and he is agreat guy. Sam has my dyno charts for the 370 ( i emailed them to him). he did not belive that I got19.9 RWHP from the intake. He will be more that glad to back me up.
I feel that the 13.1? is not a true indication of what this car run's 13.4 to 13.5 is more like it. My oil temp was 104 C (217 F) the car needs an oil cooler.
