ok this chick i know has a supercharged 350z w/ upped boost and cams on her car.. she said a similar setup made 430rwhp (she's hoping hers will make more)

i'm making a measly 372rwhp but i've got this thing called a power band

20 to 140.. i banged the rev limiter in 2nd and 3rd and was still ahead.. u'll see i start to creep away.. bam.. start to creep away again.. bam lol oh well next time we wont be on a Baja tire spinning back road in mexico

 

bump.. fawk i forgot to put in the title that theres a video.. can a mod change it? thanks!

 

Good kill, btw, you would have kept pullng if you shifted a lil quicker

 

haha i know i banged the rev limiter twice and shifted slow i could of put at least another car on her lol

 

that thing was moving pretty good though. definately a good kill.

 

both sweet cars! yours sounds great though! as others said, shift quicker and you'd pull even better

 

Nice race!

No offense, but you drive for ****.

 

Nice friendly race...nice cars. I have to agree...I could have read "war and peace" between your shifts. I know anxiety kicks in when racing, the first shift almost sounded like it was missed, we've all done it. Everyone is a critic...including me.

 

havn't watched the video yet. at work.

maybe i'm not 100% up to date on my imports, but isn't 430rwhp a whole lot for a 350z to be pushing on stock internals? i assume she's running race gas, because wouldn't the compression of the 350z's engine be fairly boost unfriendly? i thought it was like 11:1 or something similarly high.

 

Yes I would think that 430rwhp is pushing it big time with that compression.

BTW great kill, nice video.

 

ya'll are correct i'm a horrible granny shifter. lol

 

Theres a Brickyard 350 rolling around Charlotte thats making about 440 rwhp, its stock internals. Nissan motors will hold some power. The car in questions is Vortech, Nismo cams, lots of tuning. Dude has about $35k in mods. Its a gorgeous car, HREs, very sweet body kit, lowered, etc. Another shop here in Charlotte built the car, im kinda friends with the owner, he showed me around the car one day, took me for a quick ride. Very fast whip.

 

cool race bro,

But D A M N that is some slow *** shifting--I thought I was bad

 

Dont worry Bro, I'll buy ya a short Shifter Handle for X-mas

 

i hate you guys

lol ya'll are right though that was horrible shifting

 

Well, look at the bright side...I now feel very good about my shifting skills after watching that video

 

i don't know what ET or mph but i've beaten a car that traps 114mph by 2 car lengths 60 to 140 run.. twice in a row

 

Very nice kill and cool vid. Your car must be tuned perfect for that kind of power from your mods. Very sweet.

 

Dont feel too bad... not everyone has the experience ripping gears. Just think of it this way...your trans/clutch will probably last much longer than the cars Ive driven

 

I'll leave out any shifting comments....

Is this a common thing for people to go race in Mexico? Do they have drag racing laws down there?
