LoL If anything your post about you thinking you know everything made me laugh and want to state facts. I gave you very Logical reasons on why i towed my car up there "NOT BECAUSE I DRIVE A 10 SEC CAR" And you say there bs reasons. Thats your thoughts but for me it worked. Then you talk shit like a typical drag va'er, good job on that one and i hope they ban your ass so this forum gets cleaned up and has less dick heads like you on it. Now get off my dick and go on with ur life.

I don't know about the 300ZX but, 240s run better with stock suspension but, probably not blown stock suspension. With better traction and no wheel hop, you should be low 12s

I have the metal spacers (not installed yet) from Powertrix.

I've heard they work pretty well.

Don't waste your time arguing about trailoring your car. You have your reasons and shouldn't care what anybody else thinks. In another thread someone complained that 16 and 17 second cars were racing at MIR. Who cares? They're doing it for their own fun.

Is there an SPO for you yet Jason? I have to say, my '88 IROC stock and slow was a better contender than your Stage 24783421 300ZX...either you or your car really are un-impressive.

Thats cool.... but...my car is pretty stock. It has a full exhaust,chipped ecu, cone air filter and a boost controller. car should go 14.3 stock im running 12.7-12.9 on shitty street tires with shitty 2.1-2.2 60's If you have EVER driven a Z or know anyone they will tell you its the hadest car to launch. Its deff a car thats NOT ment for drag racing one bit. Now your supra was a nice car and I liked it alot. Sorry you had to sell it and now you drive the mullet machine. I think for what ive done to the car its going well... thats the avg for a Z with the same mods run so I think im doing ok. Sorry your not impressed BUT im not here to impress you or anyone else. I dont do things to my car to make you or anyone else happy. I do things to my car because I like them and I do things that make me happy.

Ok...everything I have ever read before seems to imply that your stage 5 upgrades or whatever were the shit and your cvar was one of the fastest z's in the area. Bobby (ZweetdreamZ) had a pretty maxxed out 300Z that launched decent. I saw in another thread you talking about the stock BOV not handling the high boost you use, and yet Bobby ran his stock recircs for a long time with his stock twins pumping out right at stock efficiency levels! I just don't get you.

No, its not, it saves you a whole lot of worry and money if you have a trailer and a truck already laying around, why not. Especially since we live an hour and a half or more away from MIR, that's huge money for towing. I saw a 16 second sentra get trailered in, along with a few 14-15 sec civics and integers, they are the ones to point and laugh at. And wait, didn't you see Inline Pro's Honda Insight that ran a 17.3, yep, trailered, and it gets 50+ MPG. If i would have ran on sunday I would have trailered my car in as well and I don't run 10's, actually the majority of the cars that got trailored didn't run 10's.

stage 5 only means

(1) Intake
(2) Exhaust
(3) ECU upgrade along with some sort of boost controller
(4) Crank Pulley
(5) Intercooler upgrade.


My car is now only a stage 4 300zx. Stages only mean steps in ways to make your car faster, its more of a guide line so you dont blow up your car.
I use to have a FMIC on the Z but had to sell it for reasons of me needing money to pay off bills plus I dident like the quality or design of the Apollo FMIC. ZweetDreamZ i herd has a very fast Z and id give him credit for it any day of the week. I ran 12.70 at 112.78 mph on the second day of MIR's nopi event and that was pretty good because thats still using stock fuel and 14psi. Soon ill have a new intercooler upgrade and fuel upgrade and should be able to max out the stock twins to 17psi and be ok. Only problem I have with the Z is traction and launching the car because the stock suspension on my car is pretty much well worn and needs replacing. Every time i launch the car it either spins its ass off or wheels hops so bad it blurs your vision. "GtiStile" will vouch for that. Once I replace it an get some New ET street radials from MT im hoping for a low 12 sec pass with how the car will be setup over the winter. So are my plans and i plan on keeping to them. As i said in a previous post, im not here to please you or anyone else only my self.
