Default LS1 280z at the Strip

Well it was a bittersweet night at the local 1/8 mile track. I only got three runs in. However, I set a new personal best.

7.46 @ ~ 99
7.08 @ 99.8
7.06 @ ? printer was broken :angry:
6.9x @ BROKEN - this was going to be a gooooood pass.
heres the 7.08 pass



Next pass I got the two step working, and the track was holding good. SO i decided to set it at 4500 and let it eat. POW! ... It hooked.






All in all a great night (other than breaking). This cheated me out of $100 running in the heads up street car class later in the night, but oh well! I just pulled it, and drove it 1.5 hours back! No issues. Gonna go get the other chunk out of the diff today lol.



I have to give a HUGE shout out to my buddy at 1320video. He put together this video (from two weeks ago). If you dont know who 1320video is, GET WITH THE PROGRAM.

That's why I'm afraid to make my Z31 hook up.

SATAN used to sell sleeved Z31 turbo axles. Not sure how much it would have helped since you broke the stub, but something to think about for future upgrades.

What car? IRS or SRA?

I'm going to be doing an 8.8 IRS conversion as soon as the winter time rolls around.
