Well finally got a time slip. well more like 20 of them. I pretty happy. the strip is at around 4200 ft and it was in the 80's when i ripped this one off, shes pretty consistent as long as i careful with the launch. so this time was on 14x6 pizza cutters and still on my open Diff. I think she has low 13's maybe high 12's with the right set up. definitely a 12 second car at sea level. Im #103 on the right. First vid is me vs a 05 G8 GT, a friend of mine all bolt on he was runnin 13.9 14.0 all night more vids to come as i get them.

It wasn't put together wrong. That ran over 100 passes in the low 11s. Best 11.0 @ 129 mph. It ran awesome.
We even used that trans in the Twin engine setup.

No one thought it could run what it did on the little parts I had. Stock engine, stock trans, stock injectords, stock MAF.
That set up worked awesome with the upgraded fuel pump and fuel cell and fuel regulator I had. Not wrong, just different but super reliable.

That said Datsuns are awesome. My mom even had a sweet Z 280 when I was a kid, it got crushed by a huge double trailer truck while we were in it !!!!

The truck didn't even feel it, went right over our hood.
 
wrong was in quotes for a reason, bud.

i don't think i'd ever be able to get a 210 until i was able to find a bluebird.
 
With traction i might be able to nip high 12's up here, its for sure a 12 sec car at sea level, but as you can see with me rolling into it my 60 ft is still 2.1 and that's babying it, also the reason for high reaction time. i found some wider 13x7 that i can put some drag slicks or ET streets on, but still working on finding an LSD for the rear to take advantage of it. again take it with a grain of salt a mostly stock 2014 gt with a 6 speed was running 14.1 and a 03 terminator with pulleys was running 13.6, stock evo was running 14-14.1 there was a modified all motor SS camaro that was running 12.2 but he was also on drag slicks and in an Auto. overall im happy and i can still get away from most cars.
 
how high up are you? if up there a few thousand feet you should have no problem dropping to a smaller pulley. if not done already lol

lsd and fat sticky tires will help for sure.

nice runs all the same. more then keeping up with them other cars.
 


4000 ft, and no still need a smaller pulley, going to do a 3.4 and call it a day. I'm only making 5-6 psi up top, talked to another gtp guy up here and that's all he's making as well. Hope to be in the 12's before then end of the season.

im at dead sea level, stock i only saw 7 psi on a gen 3 blower. after headers i only saw 5.3 tops. now with the 3.4 dhp says i hit 10.9 @ 5643 rpm. aka the shift point. solid 8 and 9's on the way up there.

your exhaust is as good if not better then anything we could have on a w body, so your right on par it seems even for that elevation.

my blower also has 230,000 miles on it as well as the rest of the engine. i also added 1.95 rockers, not sure if they help boost #'s some how i bet they let it exhale better and reduce boost some.
 
I would like to do rockers also, my blower rotors only have around 100k on it and they were clean when I put them in, traction and stopping are more important at this time lol
