do i stand a chance.

racing my friend at the track for $100 bucks

i've ran a best of 12.6 at this track. (room for improvment).

racing my friends turbo 350z. ( never been to a track) he's dynoed at 409whp (the dyno is one you take the rear wheels off and hook it up there.)

and i dynoed at 340whp on a dyno dynamics at the shop.


so do i stand a chance against his 350z? this is a 1/4 race at the track from a dig. going off the tree.

Depends mostly on his tires. Drag radials? Slicks? Street tires? Either of the first 2 and you could have problems, street tires and you should take him with a good run.

1/4 mile from a dig.... close. He will pull you in upstairs if he gets out the hole good.

350z with FI is hard to hook on stockies. There is a good chance he got sticky tires.
Tell us how it goes

ya i would strip the car down as much as possible then add some good gas if you can change the timing and stuff. maybe run open downpipe and stuff to save weight/increase flow

turbo 350z are a waste of money, i know a dude that had a turbo 350z touring 400 whp on like 6-8 psi, did a highway pull vs a buddy with a evo 9 mr with basic bolts ons and meth, pulled 2-3 cars on him, it be worse from a dig, their heavy cars and a ****t power to weight
