Planning on taking my Z to the strip soon.

Are you guys dropping tire pressure at all? Also what RPM are you guys finding it best to launch at with the 6MT. I have the sport package with 275's.

Take your time run it with the stock set up and be safe. Get your self a good helmet.
drop the tire pressure to 25 to 27 lbs.
mine and auto and i launch at 1700 to 3200 rpm.
you should pull the brake fuse if your going to do burn outs.
the first few runs your times will be high.
it takes a lot of practice to get a good time, if you run 13.2 to 13.3 you did well.
but there could be a few 13.7's in there.
let the car cool down as high oil temps kill the time's
and if you spin and start going sideways , lift and just cruise down the 1/4 mile.

Thanks! Definatly not my first time drag racing but first time racing a Z.

Is the brake fuse labeled as brake fuse?

What oil temp do you normally see a decrease in performance?

Z eliminator

yes , its labled, you will know when you get the right fuse as your brake lights will not work,

85 to 87 C is what i like when i leave the burn out box.

You Canadians and your metric units! Lol I'll be heading to the track also this year. Hopefully be around 550ish HP and see what I can do with these Michelin SS 295's I'm expecting not to hook up well until I get some slicks.
