I am surprised they let him keep running with those times, haha, sounds like a great track!

added video of the first pass of the day and video of the 1.7 60' into clutch slip. Sorry the vids are so long I dont have any editing software and havent looked into finding any.

Sorry to hear your loss, my condolences brother.

Same here. :(

Hmm Noob question, what exactly do you mean by 28s? I read somewhere here on your thread your running 15s o.0??

The tires are 28" diameter, on 15" wheels. Stock tire diameter is somewhere around 26 iirc

Gopro has free software on their site

I'm just curious, what do you have your rev limiter set at? I've watched each of your videos like 5 times btw ;)

It's either 7500 or 7600... I never changed it in the software. I'm pretty sure I was noticing that the tachometer cannot keep up in first and second because I kept hitting the limiter on the first passes before the needle was there

Charles do you think now it's safe to DD at 600rwhp? I know you said you where 525 or so before or you think 500-550 is still the safe zone for a DD TT

This. Is. Awesome!

Kudos to you, Charles :tiphat:

I ran it at 586+ for a year after 2 years of the 525ish, then now almost another 100 and it didnt break after a day of abuse, indicating it probably didnt get overly fatigued by the 586....

so I am going to raise my "safe" zone opinion to about 575-600rwhp for a daily driver. Assuming there are no tuning quirks. Personally I would never run the stock engine at that power on pump gas with the factory ECU... I have seen my ignition timing make too many decisions of its own to trust it on pump gas and high power.

Driving habits and peak torque are probably a larger factor though. I beat my car furiously all the time, but if my torque was up higher it might not have lasted all this long. But then again, I do not even ask my engine for peak torque anyway.

Any time I am going to high throttle the car I downshift and start at higher RPM. For example, I would never put my car in 5th gear at 3000rpm and just floor it. No way. I wouldnt even do that to a factory turbo car. Sure when I am in higher gears I will throttle it enough to make decent torque and enjoy the fact that its a high comp turbo 6 and not a low compression 4, but I dont ask it to be a viper v10 either.

I would also never personally road race a twin turbo 370z unless it was a proper race car. Maybe I would go at it a few laps at a time turned down to 500 and only with E85 and tons of airflow and cooling upgrades.

My only cooling upgrades right now are a small oil cooler, I think maybe 24 row, and its behind the intercooler... and a vented hood. Stock radiator still.

Not intending to get so off topic, just saying my piece on what i would or would not do when expecting a stock engine to hold together.

Damn dude that's impressive!

I told you I would go if you give me a heads up :)

Phunk that you?





not bad run against a supercharged z06
