2008 g35x sedan 5MT 133,000 miles
baseline: exhaust/HFC/CAI/Z1 coils/grounding kit

 

ncie gains. results after a tune i'm guessing?

 

Yes, baseline run included all bolt-ons on stock ECU. Final run with Uprev Orisis 93 pump map.

 

Did a 0-60 Dragy this morning using launch control via my electronic throttle controller. Results verified:
Blizzaks, 27 degrees F, 4% upslope, 621 ft above sea level, -2076 ft DA

0-10: 0.58s
0-20: 1.24s
0-30: 2.00s
0-40: 2.91s
0-50: 3.92s
0-60: 5.19
0-60 (1 ft rollout): 4.91s

 

I wish they had tools like Dragy when I was a kid, when they can estimate a 60' time it will be even better.

Kids these days literally don't know how good they have it, we used to have to use cones, 2-way radios, and a stopwatch unless you wanted to pay a fee to use the drag strip.

No access to slo mo camera to watch suspension travel on launch.

Fuel injection was mostly OBD1 and tuning options were severely limited so everyone was converting back to carb, only brand new cars were OBD2.

Gas was 0.98c per gallon when AM/PM came to town.

Good ol days.

 

​​​​​​Dragy does indeed have a 60' feature that's used when running the 1/4. I just wished there was enough empty roadway to run the quarter and obtain trap speed also. $139 on Amazon.

Holy ****...

 

Just checked out my Dragy log. 60' time was 2.02s. Is that any good?

 

On street tires and a road with an AWD car, yeah that's good. On a prepped track with good street tires a really quick 60' is like 1.7

 

When doing dragy runs to compare before and after tune/mods, or even to set a baseline 0-60mph is probably the worse metric you can do. Road surface, launch rpm and clutch management, shifting etc will all play a role making for highly inconsistent times, not too mention as some point more power will mean a slower 0-60 😅

Since you have a dragy you can do 30-90mph or 100-200km etc which will clearly show any power difference. There's actually a page filled with 30-90mph of various cars in the last 20 years to use as comparison. I believe the G35 V36 posted a 8.7 sec

 

I completely agree. The 0-60 metric is so outdated, especially with newer cars having AWD/Automatic with factory launch control. But the mags still prioritize it so people focus on it. The 5-60 is a better indicator of real world speed but my favorite test is trap speed, as well as 60-130 but finding an empty stretch of road that long in the wild is difficult unless you reside in Nebraska lol.

Anyway, my 0-60 dropped from 5.64 to 5.19, before and after mods, both runs with similar DA, altitude, and temps although the launch control feature via the electronic throttle controller certainly helped to drop that time.
