well i got a 06 ss/sc and my mods are intake, exhaust, and stage 1 and this kid in a 350z wanted to race and i got beat. not by a lot but i still got beat which sucks

 

upgrade to stage II? or cobalt tc?

 

yea maybe stage 2 but im not getting the ss/tc ill keep my ss/sc

 

what were the mods on the z? stock is like 230whp I think.. could be wrong though

 

he had intake and an exhaust but its ok his car is purple

 

in that case.. he loses at life

 

Good loss....I took down 2 stock ones, one auto, one stick, both from a 65 roll to about 120. I had a catback exhaust at the time. Both of the races were so close.

 

how is that a good loss i was ******* pissed that he beat me

 

all i know is i raced a 07 g35 stock, with my mods from a 40 roll in 2nd i gave him 1 car length and by the time i was done with 2nd i was 1 1/2 cars infront of him

 

Well, 350z's are very respected cars. And your car is probably running really rich because of the stage 1. I bet you that you would've had a better chance with intake exhaust and no stage 1.

They are also heavier than the 350 I belive. A sedan raced me....if you call it a race...I was 3 inch pullied at the time...and I blew him out of the water...

 

yes they are a bit heavier than the 350z but imo i would kill a 350z if i raced it, its not THAT much of a difference. They are very respectable cars with nice power and the g35 to me looks so elegant and classy. if i could turn the cobalt into a full on race car i would get a g35 as the daily.

 

is that a bad thing my car running rich

 

its not bad but its not ideal

too rich is bad, do you know your afr at wot?

 

Its not a good thing.


Try another dealer you may have much better luck.

 

only white tho right

 

nope i dont know what the afr of my car is

why try another dealer

 

I am with him ^^

And running rich isn't a bad thing at all, unless you're dipping into 9's and 8's WHICH YOU AREN'T. My car used to run 10.0 (aem wideband, only reads as low as 10.0, so probably running 9's) and my car was fine, sluggish yes, but fine. Now it runs like low 12's which isn't good lol...well not wher eI want it...I want it at like 11.0

 

^^ me too

 

my car isnt sluggush at all

 

i wanna race a 350Z now. lots of my friends have them... they all think they can beat me..

 

Yeah I know. If your car were to automatically jump down to 9's, you would feel like a 10-15 hp loss. The only way your car will run pig rich with the same mods you have right now is if you go into limp mode, or maybe if your air filter fell off lol

 

so then my car should be fine nothin should happen to it

 

The night my supercharger went in my tib I actually blew the whole intake piping clean off the manifold. Without air passing through the maf the car just shuts itself down

 

just get a 2.9 duh

 

Not true for my car. The car ran like complete ****. I didn't know what happened. It does die but when it happened to me, I kept reving it. The revs are SOOOO choppy down low but once it gets past 4000 rpm it smoothed out for me. I drove like 10 miles home past 4000 rpm lol and found out my air filter was rolling around in my front bumpre.

Yes its fine. It's just that you would be running a bit leaner without the stage 1 upgrade therefore netting more hp....not much but still more
