Video of my car in the 1/8th mile

I found this video on my computer last night.. It's the best run I have on video, it's a 9.07 @ 79.2mph. Was done with a 2.17 60' time, so there is definately more in it.

It was about 70-75 degrees outside, but not very humid. This was actually the 3rd run in a row with no cool down also.

Pretty boring video.

Thanks, it's enough for me at the moment.

Thinking about a small shot (50-75) in the near future.

your car would love a shot but your clutch wouldnt

i heard you cant do too much to those engines w/o building up the internals a little first. not sure how that would affect spray.. but i know that you cant slap on a turbo kit w/o upgradin everything inside first

Who told you that? Just do fuel and engine management and you can boost those cars fine. They don't respond super well to bolt-ons stock but if you do a turbo kit with what I said and don't boost the hell out of it they'll be fine.

+1

I think the record for a VQ35 on stock internals is right around 500rwhp, pretty much doubling the stock rwhp. I wouldn't feel safe with that much on stock internals but it was been done, also on pump gas.

There are alot of people running twin or single turbo kits with 420-450rwhp on 100% stock internals.

Bolt-ons are pretty much worthless though. The exhaust already flows well. Most people do exhaust for looks & sound. Personally I like how it sounds stock and I don't want another loud car again.

That's really what's holding me back.. The clutch is pretty new (nissan replaced it for me when I bought the car about 20,000 miles ago) but I think the spray would kill it.
