So as I have said over and over again im out to be 13's n/a since no one else is and i would be filled with glee.
Last year i had a untuned run at 14.5@96 with a 2.29 sixty foot. I'm going again this week and tuning my car and see what i run since i havent been since last year. Hopefully i can get that sixty foot down to a 2.0-2.1 and be down to a 14.1-14.3. The following week I'll hopefully have the FFperformance ported and polished intake manifold and Technosquare bring my rev limiter to 7k.
As this is a thread for 13's its also a before and after track times and trap speed for the intake manifold and rev limiter being higher so we can really see what were gaining as I'm pretty consistent with my driving and I think its more proof then just having random dyno's done when someone didnt know what they were putting down before.  So stay tuned and lets see what happens

Get slicks! With good launch you should be able to pull off 1.9-2.0 60foot and that should get you into high 13's...

Good luck!

Thanks for the positive replys guys. One thing i forgot to mention is i want to do this on street tires, because if i do it on slicks, i feel alot of people still wont take our car serious you know?
I forgot to also mention that next week i'll have stock suspension with eibach pro kit springs, the following week i'll be adding the k sports and making this car as stiff as possible off the launch. So i guess that'll make the 60 foot go down a lil bit hopefully.

I’m really interested in the results of the suspension work on 60 ft times
That will be really good info, everybody can use
Thanks for posting this

What street tires are you using?
Beside the stocker conti's
I’ve used bfg g-sports [a little better]
kumho ast's [way worse]
I May try kumho mx or hankook ventus r-s2's
Travis mentioned falken azeins rt615’s I think

Two years ago I had regular falken 451's and my 60's were at best a 2.38 but averaged 2.4's
Last year I had and still have currently falken zenis rt615's and I've mustered a 2.19 with these, they have great traction, unfortunately that run i missed this gear

u should check in2 maybe weight reduction aswell, tbh idk if u already have already but just a thought

Travis arranged for ecu mods for whatnissan and me
This allows 7000rpm on the v6 w/custom fuel and timing maps
I don't see the ecu mod on your list
You might ask him
Even techno’s raised red line might help
I just hate hitting that rev limiter
And w/ your mods your probably still making power past 6000 no?

cute02spec recently posted an old vid of a turbo spec in the low 13's
According to the numbers on the vid he was only getting
2.3 60ft times with bfg g-sports
that’s about the best I could get out of them too

2.19 is exciting
Are you running 225/45/17's

I have had great fun with this page
http://www.stealth316.com/2-calc-hp-et-mph.htm

Depending on how you play it
Can be fairly accurate

If you plug in a car weight 2850 [mine] and a power output of 150hp [actual on g-tech 138]
it pumps out my 15.69 run pretty accurately

btw, are you looking for a ported head? great n/a upgrade

Heidi that is a great idea actually, the track i run at only puts vht down on weekends but on street nights they do not, another reason i think i could get a better 60 foot if i was down to atco or englishtown.
right now im on 215/45/16's on a set of rota slipstreams.
Allen I will deff go with a redone head probably next year
Yogi, next week i'll have the technosquare reflash for a higher rev limiter, i think i put that in my first post, I'm going to have it redline at 7k and I wont shift anywheres before there

The track I go to in Pueblo CO puts VHT on the inside of the lanes and only lets the guys running slicks or drag radials run thru it and the outside is like fucking ice for the street tire running guys. Its garbage cuz everyone that runs on the outside cant hook for shit. Be glad they dont do that.

That does suck, but what sucks is the night I can go is street night where there is no vht lol

Your tire size is a whole inch smaller than stock. For every revolution of your wheel you'll be travelling 3 inches less than stock (74.2 VS 77.35). 1,320 ft X 12 inches = 15,840 inches or in other words, your wheels will have to make 213.48 revolutions with your tire size VS 204.78 with stock size. All I'm trying to say is that your tire size is going to make it even harder for you.

the car won't be tuned for the track yet in that time frame... plus it's too hot and humid.  I'm thinking fall sometime...

I am not sure of that
If we use specs off tire rack
We can assume about 23.6 in tire diameter
If he has stock gearing 4.13 in fourth approx
Then he will be turning about 5,600 in fourth at lets give him 96 mph
About right?

If so he actually turning a little low for rpm's at the finish

Trouble will come at the launch because of the high [numerical] gearing maybe producing too much spin
Those tires should be about the same foot print as the 17's
And possibly a bit lighter
And Definitely lower the center of gravity 1/2 inch
He can turn 7000 rpm
So at least theoretically he can use the stiffer gearing
I think we are about to find out

good luck dude!

The rims i had before were 32lbs each before i went and got these 13lbs rota slipstreams. Less unsprung weight=more useable horsepower
It would make it harder to launch for someone that just floors there car, I kind of got an idea how to launch this car and its all in the feathering, most people that ive seen launch spec v's around here are lucky to get below a 2.4
Heidi I'd love to do that, esp in knowing you guys live so close incase something happens with my specv i could always leave it at your place and go get whatever parts I need for it, plus to hang out with other people from the board is cool, esp the owners

As usual it rains out on street nights at lebanon valley. So this will be waiting until next week

yea, raining here too. sucks

New England weather for the lose

if you can buy a set of michelin pilot sports, theyre a super soft tire with a tread wear rating of 140 (usually a drag slick or radial has a rating of 120 and below)



so they should stick super awesome, because falken azenis have a 220 treadwear rating, and well a softer compound tire should stick better

i have michelon pilot sports and they are super f'in expensive.  iirc they are 190 a tire at 225/45-17

sorry for butting in but those are the tires i'm about to try
i cant find them in that size for less than $235 plus 15 for heat cycling
may i ask where you got those?
i'm going to use them on the street they said to expect about 5.000 mile tire life

Jesse
my drag slicks were cheaper $170
drag radials way cheaper $150 [use the 17's if $ are tight saves buying wheels}

the race is on!
