I just got back from Englishtown Raceway in NJ. this is the second time i hit the track since i got the G. I broke into the 13!!!!!!!!!!

Second run of the night
R/T____ .346
60' ____ 2.183
330____ 5.985
1/8 ____ 9.071
MPH____ 80.50
1000 ___ 11.711
1/4 ____ 13.938
MPH ___ 99.58

 

i scanned the slips just to show that the times are legit. i was in the right lane all night and was number 824.

 

sorry the quality is bad. had to use low quality to get the image size to fit.

 

Very nice. You'll only get quicker. 6MT I assume?

One thing that's odd is your ending trapspeed. You're only gaining 19mph in the last 1/8 mile which is a bit slower than average. I would have expected 101mph traps if you're a 6MT and are getting 80mph in the 1/8. My 5AT is getting 21.5mph in the last 1/8. Oddly, my 5AT is trapping about .8mph faster on average than my friend's 6MT sedan.

What are your shift points? Are you decently quick with the shifts?

 

yes its a 6mt. and i shift at 6500 rpm, but on that run i hit the rev limiter in 3rd. and yes i am very quick at shifting. lol or atleast i think i am.

Thanks
Jay

 

Nice!!
You got in the 13s 3 out 4 times with only intake and plenum?

I was actually going to go to Englishtown on the same day as you with my 05 6mt but something came up

 

i have never been there before but it was a very nice track. if you are interested in going up again soon i think i will prob go to this. http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=125746

Thanks

oh and sorry yes i got into the 13's with only plenum and pop charger

Thanks,
Jay

 

I fail to see how its impessive when you have it modded, isn't bonestock brealy off 14? like 14.1?

 

well if your not impressed, then find someone else that is running as fast or faster in the 1/4 mile with only plenum and intake.

Thanks for the support,
Jay

 

Actually 13.93 is pretty impressive. Keep in mind that those magazines are using professional drivers to track 1/4 mile times, and 14.1 is the best time out of many runs that they got. With only a plenum and pop-charger, he has knocked off 2 tenths of a second.

jblade - what rpms do you launch at, 3.5k?

 

i launched at diffent rpms each run just to get the feel for where to launch. and i have come up with launching at about 1,500 rpm or 1,700 rpm. the reason is because the first time i went the track i launched at 3,000 rpm and had to much wheel hop. however i did run a 14.2 like that. and i found that if you launch between 1,500 and 1,700 and ease off the clutch just enough to get traction and then dump it that you will have a better 60'. but thats just the method that i used to get the time i did. keep in mind this is only the second time i have been to the track in the G.

Thanks and hope this helps,
Jay

 

Thats pretty good. Condsidering you don't have very many Performnace upgrades.

 

cool. i live like 5-10 mins from raceway park!

 

Congrats! With a good driver and ideal weather dipping into the 13's can be achieved.
