How fast stock 370Z really is and how will BERK and K&N's affect on that!

If you are spinning you are obviously losing time so before you throw in the towel try noting down your parameters first. Also, you are better off going to a track which will hopefully have some rubber laid down and have some temp as well. Cooler temps mean harder rubber which means that you will spin. Of course, if you are doing this on street tires which are made for longer wear hence, harder compounds you will end up spinning and again...your times will not be very good.

Put some drag radials, warm them up, note the track, time, temp, humidity, and post up some times before/after your mods.

Good luck!

OP is probably thinking

BERK is ON...

I will do some test runs today with BERK only, to check is there any difference (hoping there will be), I will post the times and video after.

all motor with bolt ons
12.42 !/4 mile. @114.3
0 to 89.4 miles per hour in the 1/8 mile 8.02 seconds/
7 AT.
what would the 0 to 60 be ?

Stock I ran 13.3, with HKS exhaust and Berk test pipes I ran a 12.9 just FYI

Are you guys pulling this times on a drag track or on the streets?

Wow! Your BERK exhaust has a beautiful look to it...

Darko · 04-02-2012, 08:18 AM

Done few runs today, on the same road, with almost the same conditions as previous time and all I can say is that I'm happy

. Only difference was... It was sunny...

BERK gives me a whole second down from 0 to 200kmh. and a tenth of a second down from 0 to 100kmh. On a distance timing, still stuck on 13,8sec. on 400m.

Sad thing is that I'm almost OUT of tires and still no sign from the new ones.

These are all of their times on the track...you know, the correct way to measure these kinds of stats.

Those are drag strip times.

A .6 disparity between your Racelogic and simply timing the tach and listening to the motor is unusual. I'd say the Racelogic isn't configured well or just not working right, imo.

My method may not be technological, but it seems more consistent.

As far as what you'll gain from mods. K&N filters won't gain you crap. They're just filters. An exhaust you'll feel, but no one can tell you what it'll do to these times - most people measure changes in dynos and 1/4 trackers. But the most important piece of the mod puzzle is the stock cats and an ECU tune which you'll feel the most.

I wouldn't say that filters don't do anything - lots of people have had a few horsepower gains with drop ins. Coupled with silicone post MAF tubes, they're just a few horsepower shy of an aftermarket CAI.

In terms of dropping 0-60 and 1/4 mile times? You won't gain anything there, is what I meant.

Darko · 04-03-2012, 02:54 PM

K&N's are ON...
