Yea, I think im gonna pm austin and see whens best for him to do a log and possibly a retune. Not gonna worry about getting a new cable since I'm getting HPT soon. Car runs great in cooler weather, I'm still thinking its the tune though.

EDIT: I dont have the slips, I threw them out, I wish I had kept them. However Nick from BYT was there that day, and I doubt he would remember specifically, but he would vouch that I am not bullshitting

I'm not doubting you man ..... Was just curious what it's ran . With a 110 trap it should run in the 12's no problem as long you can pull a decent 60' . I got to get my ass back to the track lol ... I haven't been in two years . I went 13.4@107....only mod was a superchips tune and 2300 miles on the odo.

I'd love to break into the 12's with the NT555's that are on her now but who knows..... we usually have really good air up here. and the tracks at 900 ft elevation so DA's can get down to sea level when it gets cooler in Sept.

oh I didnt take it as doubt, i just said that matter of factly that I wish I could post the slips in general. Ya I only had like 2.2, think that was my best 60'. Went the two weeks ago, and my best was like a 2.5 60' and 14.0 at 106, it was terrible and all me. However i did find out shortly afterwards my map sensor was shot, and I could use a change of plugs. did that the other day and it seems better, we will see.

OP sorry for thread jack, but ya be careful with 370's they are a much better car than the 350's

first time out the 2.20's were on the bald stock conti's. This time I was launching to low with the Conti DW and bogging cuz I had to much grip, and didnt want to launch hard and wheel hop. Im not very good at launching (ive gotten MUCH better) but I just dont do it ever

Thats about what i did .... I pulled 2.15 on that 13.4 pass with basically new conti's. The superchips tune didn't make near the power you are or I am now .... I'm guessing I'm around 300 whp and maybe 330wtq.

As a former owner of an HR 350Z, I can vouch for how quick those Z cars are. They might weigh over 3,300 lbs, but they're beasts with all that torque and horsepower kicking in. I know we're discussing the 370Z here, but I know a dude who pulled a 13.1 @ 109 mph in a completely stock 350Z a couple years back.
BTW, am I the only one who noticed jealousy in the OP's post? Seems like dude is hating that he couldn't pull on a 3.7L V6 torque monster. Those cars are no jokes, bro.



P.S: how the hell do you not know the difference between a base 370Z & a Nismo, OP?

This should help:

BASE


NISMO

Because I drive a cobalt and am a college student who likes to have fun on his commutes, not a stuck up 370z owner like that golf guy. Not once did I talk crap about a 370z but since you said that. A 370z is pointless to buy when you can get 10x the car (GTR) for a lil more than double the money. IMO if I were to buy a nissan, I'd much rather ignore a z and save up for a GTR. Awd, 3 times the power and a 4 seater? Yes please. Reason why I own a cobalt...well lets just say my car is screwy atm prob trifecta related and If it were my old car that Z would have gotten smoked while I was still prob getting better overall mileage than him with my 5 seats to boot. If you actually follow it I was hating on my own car if anything. I thought a 370 was slower due to weight but later looked to find that the 370 is lighter than the 350. And btw by no meana is the 370 a torque monster. 274ft lbs...v6 swap civics have more torque than that with just a hondata tune.

Yea, my TTR Stop Mounts seemed to eliminate my wheel hop. They just roll now. They suck for dailying tho. You feel every vibration.
