first off, i doubt you are trapping 125 so you have no reason to even go into 6th when you race.

its not that difficult...i got a 60' of 2.2 on a bone stock spec v ....ran 10.007 on the 1/8th mile...practice makes perfect...if you need better traction i hear that MMI's and $4 wheel hop aid are very helpful

i used to be able to go past 125 whenever i wanted ...then i went to the dealer for a recall and then i couldnt go past 125 after that...engine feels really smooth and just stays at 125mph....that was when i had my 5 speed...i just bounced off the rev limiter at like 130 before i took it for the recall....then i swapped my engine and put the 6 speed trannie on it...but i havent tried going past the 125 mark again....

best 1/4 mile I can get is a 16.5. Probably my lame ass skills though. But the car floored in 6th won't budge past 5k and 125mph. Has 50000 miles. I'd just like suggestions on things to just help run better like tune up or whatever.

its your brembos let me have them and problem fixed :-)

topped out 145 b4 bone stock...going down to florida...of course that engine blew after the trip to florida lol but i did get a brand new engine for free from nissan   one of these days i'll try n top out the car to see what the engine can do...lol hopefully i don't blow this one haha

I hope the R/T thing wasn't directed at me. I know this already. But yeah,

Anyways. All I have is a NISMO cai. Everything else is completely stock. my 3 slips that I have, here are what they say.
Slip 1: 60' 2.417 1/8 10.628 1/4 16.624 at 81.37
Slip 2: 60' 2.626 1/8 10.910 1/4 16.919 at 81.37
Slip 3: 60' 2.570 1/8 10.707 1/4 16.681 at 81.75

I did a couple launches last night to see how it was at 2200 and it seemed to have a tiny bit of spin and then just go. At the track it might be different so next time I go ill run a few times and see how it goes. It just kind of sucks because upwards of 300 people show up by the time check in ends and it gets difficult to make more than 3 runs.
