first time with the 350 at the 1/4 mile track tonight thought i should have done better. temps started about 80 and went down to 70 by end of the night car #21

03 touring 6sp w/ injen cai, mrev2, crawford headers, ur hfc, borla true dual, springs and sways, 19 rims 275/35 rears, toyo t1r (no tune it really needs it though)


three things i noticed were
1.finishing over 103 but still in 14's
2.had to shift into 4th on every run of the night... thought i could get across in 3rd so i tried on the last run and bounced off the rev limiter well before the line (2nd slip)
3.picked up 25 mph on the second half of the track slip 1

please give some feed back and any pointers will be gladdly accepted want to see 13.5 at least

First thing to look at is your 60'. Get that as low as possible and you'll get better times. Remember if you just want a great time don't worry about your reaction time on a T&T night.

i understand 60 foot is important and ideally would like it around 1.9-2.0 but tried leaving the line at all different rpms and could not get to those numbers...thats why i am asking for input or advice.

I'm an auto but the car always goes into 4th gear. Even when I manually shift her.

That's the one time slip I can find on my computer this morning...

R/T .133
60' 2.163
330 6.040
1/8 9.244
MPH 76.59
1000 12.008
1/4 14.332
MPH 96.20

This was in 10/04 <-- before exhaust, before Vortech
Bought the car 09/04. So that was even before the plenum spacer. Pretty sure that was a stock run.

Im from Montana and I ran a 15.4 for the first run and then I took the air filter off completely and then I ran a 14.5 it was about 40 degrees, really cold and no traction on stock tires..........but not to bad.......for the altitude

60ft./tires/smaller-lighter wheels than u have.



a tune and better temps will help

Yeah the 19's don't help.
Also the touring I beleive is the heavies of the coupe z's.
