Just Jim Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Here's a video from a couple of weeks ago at Irwindale. It's not as exciting as lilredZ's airport road video though. The car ran a best of 7.45/93MPH 1/8 mile. http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p147/289nate/?action=view¤t=jimvideo002.flv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxand280z Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 great launch!!! Are you running a modified suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 The front suspension is completely stock, the rear has adjustable 250lb 8 inch long 2.5 I.D. springs. Both ends have cheap KYB replacement strut cartridges. The 4.11 R200 CLSD with 215/60R14 BFG Drag Radials have been good for a best of 1.575 60 ft.

dig280z Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 That bad ass keep it up what do you think you do at the 1/4 mile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 The car has only run Irwindale's 1/8 mile which is the closest track to me. 7.45 1/8 mile is about 11.70-11.80 1/4 mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 It's not a video but here's a pic from last night. The good lookin' Z has a 350SBC but my junk yard refugee 302 240Z out ran him this time. Ran a best ever 7.188/94MPH which is about a 11.30 1/4 mile pass. http://bowtie0069.fotki.com/21408irwindalepix/img5602.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilredZ Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 What knid of HP and weight do you have? I've been tossing around the 4.11s for a while...with the GV overdrive it might work! I don't need to go over 140mph...ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgkurz Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Great launch! That's what I call a holeshot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need to go over 140mph...ever. Nope, don't need to go over 140. Not sure on the HP but it might be about 340HP at the flywheel. I'm guessing the weight at about 2650. The key to running decent times at the drag strip is getting the power to the ground. 400-450HP won't be much good if the tires just spin.

Turbo Meister Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Nice run!! I've been seeing the pics of your Z on Mike Morgan's photo site but I haven't seen your Z when I've been there. Guess I'll have to go more often. Hanns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
