Message best time was 13.8 @107 mph because my car was only running 11-12 psi (oops). Since the solenoid crapped out on my HKS controller, I have to manually adjust the external wastegastes. No problem...will dial it back to 18 psi.

My main concerns are the 60 ft time of 2.3 seconds and the grinding when shifting to 3rd and sometimes 4th. I have the Racelogic setup but only had the rpm launcher at 3800rpm. The car bogged every time and I tried to slip the clutch a bit. I will raise that up to 4500 next time.

1. What are you using for drag racing clutch? RPS 6 puck?
2. What are you doing about grinding in the 5 spd tranny?
3. Is Mickey Thompson ET street drag radial "the" tire?

I have an extra set of 17" OZ rims and the 275/17's would be perfect.

After I work out these bugs, I will consider higher octane fuel and cranking up the boost on the TD-05 16g's. I only have 550 injectors so I'm not sure the max safe psi.

BTW all the 350Z's with optical tuning (parts brand stickers) were all in the 14's. Don't think they liked being beat by a 24 year old car.
