Nice clip of a 350z I found on the STS turbo company site

<embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i229.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid229.photobucket.com/albums/ee254/TrackZpeed/Movie.flv">

Not sure who he is but if you're on this site, congrats on a nice build and an even nicer drift! I wonder how much he's putting down at the wheels

I think that is boozt's car.. By the way, did you bother to look at page 3 of the STS thread? I have compiled most of the video I found on that page.. there are more video on that thread but they are scattered...

Thanks FI'ed. I did begin to check out some of those videos. It makes me want to check out the system in person even more. How long have you had the STS system for now?

I was one of the 5 testers so that is almost 2 years now. Sillief00l was the first G35 coupe to have the kit and he has an AT and I was the first Revup..

By the way I ran my car at the track a few times and I still manage to trap 111.69mph with my heavy G35 (3700lbs with me in it) and heavy 19's that weight 60lbs each in the back. Last dyno I had was 373whp so it does perform but I just couldn't get any traction..lol Street tires FTL

My 60' was horrible and shifting can be improved too.. I think I just suck in Drag Racing.. lol But then again my wheels/low profile tires didn't help.

RT = .570
60' = 2.421
330 = 6.078
1/8 = 8.96
MPH = 87.15
1000= 11.40
1/4 = 13.43
MPH = 111.69

Yea these cars are hard to launch if you are not on a sticky'ish tire (even something like a bfg kdw2 helps, drag radial better, slick bestest)

And when you get in the FI game down track traction is huge too......

for some reason, at least with tracks up here, as sticky as they are at the starting line they are like ice down track.
at one of them GLD, I spin all day in 3rd and 4th some days......whereas that same day I won't be spinning in 3rd or 4th on the street ugh.

I go to Etown and they dont seem to prep the track or at least they do a half a%% job doing it on regular Wednesday (Test N Tune) night. I only go on Weds. coz I dont want to wait 2hours just to get my second run.

I wanna see clips of the 11.69MPH 1/4 mile run haha! That would be awesome

As for the tires I definitely can relate to too much power not enough traction. I took my car out once on the ice...

That's all I needed to know about what that experience was like. I need to invest in some better rubber too

FI'ed, do you have any new clips of your turbo spoiling up from the outside? I love that one clip where everyone makes passes by the camera and then mashes the gas.

We all know who makes the best pass in that clip
