Multiplying Torque
the best I could ever do was 14:94 at 87mph. And that was only one time. All other times it would go low low 15's like 15:09 or something. Maybe another driver could put it even lower than me. I live in Orlando FL and we have a great track here but it rains every time I want to go. I want to go real soon because I havent ran it with the new clutch and this J30 diff so we will see. Or the 300z front brakes.

whats your 60ft time? Are you losing traction? seems to me with what you're pushing for torque and horse you should be close 13.9 especially with the cams you installed--whats the rpm of the cams? when does the power start and stop? I brought my 240 to the strip and got a time of 14.8 @93 and thats with basic mods (on a side note I launched at 4,000 and now my clutch needs replacing) Find out the rpms of the cam and try to launch either in the middle of the power band or 500rpms up, you should be able to drop that time at least half a second or more!! YOU CAN DO EET!! thats a lot of work you did on that car!! or bump the timing by 2 degrees up and shoot again. When we go to lebanon we pay 65.00 for 3 launches so the first launch is our base run, the second is after we do a little tweaking, and the third is the charm!! I had to bump my timing up 4 degrees to get a time like that but also I ran with only 1 gallon of 108 and took my back seats out; my spare tire, and my kicker and used my 15 inch rims and sprayed my tires with traction glue as I like to call it. Unfortunately after 3 passes the tires are like melted rubber but it's the price you pay right?
Cool deal man----let us know your time if worse comes to worse do a run and then take ice packs and put them on your manifold runners for a couple minutes and run again quickly, that also drops your time a milli'stechnoman wrote:I will be going to the track this wednesday. Ill let you know what I did. :ylsuper
A good thing to do as well is get a set of 15's for the front with skinny tires on them i.e 185 50 15 for less drag in the front too and then 205 or 225 50 or 45 15 in the rear and that will help you as welltechnoman wrote:On the rear of my 240 I run dunlap p225-50-16 and on some streets i can chirp third. On the front i run dunlap p205-55-16
When i first built my 240. I wanned it to be as fast on the street as it is on the track. If i can run consistant 14's on the track itwill run 14's on the street. when i go to the track i dont want to change anything. If im at a red light on the street the dumb a** next to me better be able to run 14's or he will lose.
I plan on doing the sr swap when I get my tax loot next year turbo is the way to go in actuality--you will spend less going turbo then highing up a normal aspirate well not by much but a few hundred counts when you don't have it. Thanks for4 the site info, I will use that mani when I get my sr!!technoman wrote:Im looking at this turbo set up. it's custom for a KA motorhere check it out.

6 speed Z
The new Z (300 ZX) comes in an incredibly powerful 6 speed. My friend had placed an advance order for in a year ago and just got it 4 days ago. It's a really sweet ride in and out.
