Thats the worst time for it to happen. But I think 11's NA is going to be really hard unless you do some crazyness to the motor.

As long as he gets that time slip with 11's on it, it's all good

I'm pretty sure he was on RE-11s and pulled a 1.89 60'? Drag radials on an NA car with minimal power won't get much better than that 60'.

it may put me into the low 12.3's. The problem with the auto is the 4th to 5 th shift it take .61 of a second.
Sam is working on the VB and hopefully i should have it by next spring. If it can cut the shift time to .41 . 12.12 would be the best that i could expect.
the car ran perfectly on the 12.42 run. it pulled its brains out. Puting the motordyne art pipes might help. too.

You didn't have ART pipes on it before when you ran? Did you have standard TP's or HFC's?

If he could pull a 1.6 that would help

... I don't know how hard that is with RWD though... with the RE-11's, that's an excellent and sticky tire, so aside from going DR's I don't think you can do much better in that area IMO of course.

With the torque curve the way it is, dr's can slow the car down a lot of times due to bogging. More grip isn't always better.

Exactly

That's probably been a big concern with your last couple cars, right?

Add cams and it will be done.

Don't think we have any for the 370Z.

I have the berk cats on the car for the 12.42 run.

Do you still have them? If so, I think you will be pleasantly surprised if you go with the ART pipes. They are just so cool. Mine settled down a lot in just a little over 300 miles. It sounds like the exhaust is modified if you get on it, but cruising and at idle... you hear nothing.

Methodical4u · 09-03-2011, 08:01 PM

Any sort of weight reduction on the car at the time of the run Zeliminator?
