I've held & broke the 350z.com 07/08 Hr record maybe 7 times over the last 3+ years.
I was in Florida when Ray & Jason did their best times, N/A 12.8 & 12.2.
I had trans. problems, where 50% of the time could NOT get into 2nd. gear, & was still not familiar how to use the slicks I brought with me. My completed runs were 12.8's & 12'9s with 3:90 gears.

Got a new trans (warranty)
Last year I won the 350z/infinity/370z class of the N. East Nissan meet sponsored by the shops here & a Nissan dealer.

This Spring(cool weather) I changed my gear from 3:90' to 4:08's & came out harder from the starting line. That resulted (twice @ track)with apx. 10 out of 12 runs in the 12.4's. Lowered my 350z record from 12.509 @ 110 to 12.419 which is listed on their site. My 60' times are mostly in the 1.6's range Since I have modest h.p. I must have learned how to use those slicks Disclaimer-I use the best suspension set up for drag racing & street driving. 100% factory stock suspension!!!! Got you!?

That 11.9 I posted was an attention getter. Since I don't mod much(stock intakes, mostly stock exhaust(test pipes) etc, etc, I would be lucky & very happy to get near Jason's amazing 12.2 record.

Sorry for the same old story again
Seems you just need power or lighter weight. My WRX with 1.6-1.7 60 foots making 335hp weighing a little over 3000 pounds with me in it ran 11.7's. If you're putting down 1.6's you just need to drop some weight or get some ponies. I weighed in at 3233 yesterday with a full tank and put down 295hp with no tune. I still have about 50 pounds I can take out plus 88 in fuel. That should put me equal with the WRX in weight. Now I just need a tune and 40 more hp and 11's should come with slicks and setup.
