Killed a 350Z
 
I wasn on my way home today from Downtown WPB. As I was rolling out of Okichobee Blvd there was this black 350Z that kept revving his engine. I raced a 350 before and somehow I lost so I was pretty hessitant to race another one. But this guy was persistant, so we came to a traffic light on the foot of the bridge in Okeechobe. I rev up to signal him that its on. In my mind Im gonna kill this 350Z since i was lighter and it wall uphill. Needless to say I left him in 2nd gear. and I wasn't even pushing the car in 1st gear. we came to another light and we did it again, we did this a few times until I got tired of beating him up and ask him to pull over. We talked for a while and pop our hoods he asked me if I had nitrous. I told him NO!. I had Power FC(untuned) Intake,DP, Cat Back, Koyo Rad, Fidansza Flywheel, and ACT strip clutch. He had intake header, dp, full exhaust, and plenum.

Uphill races are fun. They last longer :)

The one that beat him is probably turbo'd or supercharged IMO.

Wait you have an FD and you've lost to a 350z before? Unless its spraying over 100 shot or its on boost you have no reason to lose to Zs.

^^agreed

i walked many 350Z's..its no biggie

DGnizer 05-22-05 12:55 AM

must be my turbo setting before. the last time I raced one i had my turbines kicking in at 4500RPM(dont ask me why). So this time when I decided to race another Z I changed the turbo to kick in around 3000RPM. The car did a lot better.

LOL. Who hasn't beat a 350Z. :)

Uh, Care to elaborate on this?

DGnizer 05-22-05 02:52 PM

well the power fc comes in to different settings for the boost and the first one the turbine doesn't kick in until I pass 4500 and I can distinctly hear and feel the turbine. on the other seting that i have the turbines spools up fater(dunno how) but it engages under 3200 which saves me a few seconds if im racing some one. something I just found out this month about the PFC since i haven't get the car tune yet.

Qball 05-22-05 03:38 PM

what settings on the pfc are u changing? i did not think you could change the transistion point with the pfc.

good job on the kill btw.

DGnizer 05-22-05 08:00 PM

go to boost, there are 2 settings there. go to the 2nd setting and exit back you'll see the diference. hope that helps.
