yes
 

The quickest drag cars are automatics or some version

I'm going to try go to Atco this weekend if weather is good
 

No mods, just curious & it's almost over. Also there is bracket racing, IMPORT VS DOMESTIC :) That could be fun. The domestic guys are much better drivers, as a group. Sorry.

I had a very serious brain injury this year where I almost d..... So I hope I can handle driving that far and competing.

Anybody going?????

Please, just don't hit me in the head.....

Are my goals/expectations too high????
 

I just got a 2012 370z automatic. Only 1,200 miles on it. I would like to take it to Atco this Sunday for the Import vs Domestic drag racing.

There is no time this week to go to my tuner for test pipes & an Osiris tune, plus no time to order some good drag tires. So I'll bring it to my friendly Nissan dealer near my house. I will ask them to do something for me(secret)shhh, also raise my RPM red line plus change the oil with 5/30 Mobil one.

With street tires, can I break into the 12.9's & win bracket one over ALL the domestic & ALL the imports?????

You think my goals/expectations are a bit too high???? :confused:

Do not raise the redline unless you want to destroy the motor. The oil pump comes apart at higher than stock rpm.

Thanks but I DON'T think so
 

My 08 Z had it's redline/shut off at 7,700rpm & I shifted at 7500/7600 rpm. Every drag racer that does good times & has a 370 or the H.R 350 does/did the same thing. I think your # one bolt on record holder 12.2 was shifting at 7800 rpm. I can be wrong on that one. I was there in person & I think that's what he said.

Now what about my goals/expectations :)

There have been multiple people who have lost their motors at the track with raised redlines. This isn't a 350. The internals of the oil pump are sintered metal and it comes apart at higher than stock rpm. It would be a shame to break it the same week you bought it, but its your car.

I appreciate your advice but
 

You know that it's very hard for me to compromise/play safe. Did you see my video on youtube andre12031948 "in a blink of an eye" That's the only way I drive, actually worst, it's an old video:)

Car has a warranty..... till 60k on engine

It's your car. It's a risk, but it doesn't inconvenience anybody but you if it blows up.

with all the mistakes I made in life & there were many
 

I blamed myself.

See my video?? :)

Even with ATCO's mine shaft air, 12.9s will be tough on street tires.

If you read that post again you'll see it's a bit of a joke. Also win bracket ONE against ALL imports & all domestics.:) Hey, I'll have fun, and do my best.

If the weather......

if after test pipes & tune & tires I won't do solid 12's
 

The car gets burned......

or I'll have an old 65 year guy
 

use it as a DD....:icon23:

I wonder how far into the 12s these cars could be NA but with just intake, test pipes, exhaust, tune, and slicks?

with trap speeds close to 110mph, you'd think mid low 12's shouldnt be a problem. there just arent enough people actually trying to drag their 370's competitively.
