3. Street Tires (20" wheels)
4. Greddy TT
5. No spray
6. Built Motor
7. Speedworld Raceway - Phoenix, AZ
8. ~70 degrees, 1580 ft elevation, Barometric pressure 29.87, low wind.

Car was in full street configuration: Full stereo (2-JL 12W6's and large amps, full interior, etc.

Launch was crap every time. I had to take off like I was leaving a stop sign and baby it until almost the top of 2nd. The stock GTO I was racing had a good ~8+ car lengths on me before I got going.

Trap speed is good for mid-low 11's if I could hook up.

The sea level correction for elevation says the trap speed would have been ~128.878mph!

There was a viper there with some bolt-on mods who ran an 11.3 at 117. Funny I was almost 10mph faster but so far behind. No traction sucks.
DOMO I see 10s in your future with some 18s and drag radials.

if faster ET is the goal why 18s? I'd go lightest 17s available.

Smallest wheel that will fit my rear brakes are 18's and I need 19's up front; plus only some 19's will fit. I found out SF Challenges won't; it has to be a very open face design. My coupe 19's will fit but I have to put the wheel weights on the face because even one stick on weight makes them hit the top of the caliper.

I will put my coupe 19's wheels on the front next time since they weigh less than my 20" iForged. I will also take out all my stereo stuff and drop a couple hundred lbs off the car.

The goal is to see if I can find some high offset 18x9 or 18x10 for some drag radials. I also thought about getting some 350Z 18's and then have them widened. I'm looking to keep this as cheap as possible since I only drag a couple times a year at most.

Big brakes make drag racing more expensive.

good thing is brakes dont matter in drag racing... so if you really wanted to get one @sskickin' run for bragging rights you could put OEM rotors & calipers with super light 17s with DRs and get an unbelievable ET!

That's true, I could always switch back. Except I don't have my stock brakes anymore.

This is why a car that goes gets 12s and under need's drag radials. I bet if you have the G35X u would have gotten a good *** time, but u wouldn't stay there spinning your wheels, u would spin half sec, and go really fast.

You didn't read the part where he said he had no traction?

The G35X is automatic and I doubt the drivetrain can take the abuse.

If I had my motor in an X I would have left parts all the way down the track.
