Went onto the drag strip for the 1st time
Went to Gainsville Raceway last night and i sucked lol. Don't have a way of posting timeslip or video right now, but i'll get them up later on of my best run. For now these are the numbers from the slip which was my second run:
R/T..... .578
60'..... 2.046
330.... 5.813
1/8..... 8.990
MPH.... 77.76
1000...11.724
1/4......14.041
MPH.....95.75
Then a modded 350Z wanted to race me and i lost that one too. 350Z 14.417" @ 98.81MPH / Me 14.590 @ 95.34MPH. It was a lot of fun, but frustrating cause i was hoping to get into the 13's. Currently i have Ultimate Racing Intake, Testpipe, and Nisei 1pc UICP. Maybe I should've tried Frank's "Ay Dios Mio" technique
If anyone has any suggestions for launching, I'm all ears

LOL , the "Ay , dios mio will give you that extra HP
If you have the restrictor pill you get a bit of a delay and that delay if you're launching the car will make it slip and eventually kill it . Take the pill out and that will help out a bit , then ride the clutch a bit for the first few feet - then just hammer it all the way down and let go . We did pretty good with the stock clutch but we did kill it

yeah in gainesville you heat soak like crazy in the summer. I've lost 3-4MPH depending on how horrible the conditions are. I think I am going to go next Wednesday and I really hope my trap doesn't go down considerably.
Also I should be getting back to you soon about your car and setting up a time where we can look at it.

That alone makes me wanna go again this Wednesday. You have my number so if anything, just give me a call.Be sure your traction control is turned off.
That stock clutch is soft. You will not be able to compare yours to another X with an aftermarket clutch. They are way different.
You are down about 35whp or are a slow shifter, or both. Stock X should be 13's at 98-99mph.

When i shift, i keep the gas pedal down. So i don't think i'm a slow
