I had to use slicks(it's a manual trans) & special ply front tires. Running with slicks(ply tires) & front radial tire gets you a very hairy(sp)??? & dangerous ride; not to mention the slowing of the car that goes from side to side.
I did have STOCK intakes & Stock exhaust except for test pipes, tune and of course gears. I've held the 350z bolt on record at 12.509@ 110mph for 2/3 years. Early this spring I bought a pumpkin with 4:08 gears(mine was with 3:90) from this 370z sight. After that I did almost all my runs in the 12.4's with the best(on 350z 25top 07/08 bolt on site) of 12.419.......
So with a stronger engine than the 08 hr, I'm confident that I'll do ok with only 3 mods & a tune + tires. No slick cause this is an auto trans and I don't need slicks and don't want to change 4 tires/wheels twice + drive 3 hours each way
Now I know the 370z has a GREAT auto trans. but to be honest not modest, I was an excellent+++ 6 spd driver. 3rd & 4th gear I almost shifted without the clutch. So I guess my driving was my best mod
What can I say ???
