1 QUICK Z Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 After fixing the carnage from Super Chevy...about $1000 worth....I guess it was all worth it! Tied the front end down leaving about 2" of travel and put adjustable shocks on the front and tightened them up. Here's a video a friend of ours did for us (Thanks Richard)....but the start is not real clear...I will add a better video when I have time to download. Timeslip: 60'= 1.41 330=3.799 1/8=5.768 MPH=124.86 1000'=7.472 1/4=8.920 MPH=155.45 Pass after this one: 60'=1.400 330=3.806 1/8=5.783 MPH=124.51 1000'=7.488 1/4=8.939 MPH=154.76 We went to the finals in the Quick 8 against a twin-turbo Corvette, but broke the tranny...carnage again.

1 QUICK Z Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 That is an impressive launch. Are you coming to DNI on the 18th? No we won't be coming to the DNI Drags on the 18th. We broke the transmission in the finals of our Quick 8, so we are down for the winter. We wish everyone luck, safe trip and verry fast ET's.

Zfan1 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 That's pretty impressive numbers with the IRS still underneath her. I am going for a 9 second pass as soon as Texas Motorplex in Ennis will open again for TNT or fun and grudge. I have a 1971 240 Z with a 385 sbc in her, all forged internal 11 to 1 motor with AFR 210 heads and a small Crane small base hyd. roller cam. 248 duration at .050 and 588 lift with a 110 lobe seperation. I am running a NOS nig shot with just a single 175 shot for now. Transmission is a built 700r4 with a 9.5" Edge converter, 3500 stall, transmission is 4 yrs old and still holding...I just jinxed myself:roll: Rear end is still IRS with a 300ZXT center section with added clutches, Modern Motorsport CV axles and 39 spline stub axle swap with disc brakes and line lock. Since I run around on the street alot:biggrin: I am running Mickey Thompson 255/60-15 drag radials. I have run 10.80 at 125 on the motor and would like to bust off a sub 10 second pass with the juice hopefully. I have never hit it out of the hole only in second gear at 4200 rpm's and fully thru 3rd gear and went 10.34 at 138. I watched you run her on Pink's before and have seen a video or two of her as well. Thanks for the info on your ride, it's pretty impressive. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to get your Z car in the 9's you will need to come out of the hole with the Nitrous to get your 60ft and ET down, I have a New FJO Mini Nitrous Progressive controller for sale for $250.00 It will let you come off the line with a small % of your tuneup and ramp in the power over time. That is what you will need so you won't have to hit the IRS so hard with the dragradials. Give me a call if I can Help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
