Personally, I went to PBIR just to test the car before a tune. I shifted normally, as in not WOT shifting, and babied it out of the hole. I just wanted to get comfortable with the car. Hitting 2nd hard sent me a bit sideways on one run. I am sure if I powershifted and tried as hard as I could, I could have gotten into the 12's, no problem. I decided I was not going back to the track until I got a tune and an oil cooler (the car was not consistent enough for me).
I lifted for all shifts (no power shifts) on my 12.90. I really think a full bolt-on, tune, and on slicks 6mt can run damn close to 11.9's. 114ish traps with a 1.6 has 11's written all over it.

We all have gripes about the 370 and we know its not perfect, but all you talk about is how fast your 08 350 is, or how good of a driver you are, etc, etc...Can I ask why you don't post on 350Z forums?
Da ban.
