Grannies Altima Goes 13.3s!!!!!!!

Went back to the track yesterday (race day) and ran the Alty again. Conditions- 90*+ all day, probably 30-40% hum., and the track prep was outstanding! All runs were made on stock 215/40-17 radials @ 26psi. I swapped in the 80 jet also...


First run I made on motor because I got in the staging lanes and found that the ground wire for the solenoid had come loose. Didn't have time to fix it then. I lost the slip for the first run but I remeber most of it...

60ft- 2.08

1/8- 9.10 @ 77.??

1/4- 14.35 @ 95.??


Second run was on spray but I hit the rev limiter in 3rd. I rolled out about 20ft before going to the juice.

60ft- 2.01

1/8- 8.59 @ 82.58

1/4- 13.51 @ 101.26


Third run was first round of eleminations. I dialed in a 13.3 going by my 1/8 ET from the 13.5 pass. The guy I was running got about 10 cars out and never let out. I tried spraying right out of the gate and it wasn't pretty...

Dial In- 13.3.....................................14.57

RT- .055......................................... .110

60ft- 2.31..........................................2.15

1/8- 9.44 @ 80.78............................9.26 @ 78.03

1/4- 14.32 @ 102.37.......................14.33
Winner-------------------------------Breakout


Fourth run I finally got everything to work and WOW!! Same technique as before, rolled out about 20ft and went to the juice. Check out the 60ft ...

Dial In- 13.3.......................................15.50

RT .160....................................... .180

60ft 1.99.........................................2.27

1/8 8.59 @ 81.97..........................9.99 @ 70.60

1/4 13.36 @ 103.81......................15.60 @ 86.72
.068 Finish Margin
.060----------Off Dial----------.109
Winner


Fifth run I did everything the same as the 4th. Not only did I back up the 13.36 pass, but I got my best pass of the day!!

Dial In- 13.3........................................11.77

RT- .146.......................................-.007

60ft- 2.01........................................1.84

1/8- 8.55 @ 81.85...........................7.69 @ 92.52

1/4- 13.33 @ 103.40......................11.96 @ 114.01
Winner------------------------------------Red Light


Sixth and last run of the day. Final round of eliminations and I had to chase this guy. I again backed up my 13.3 pass but with my only halfway descent RTs throughout the day, and how consistent my opponents car had been all day, it wasn't looking good...

Dial In- 13.3......................................16.34

RT- .238............................................04 7

60ft- .200............................................2. 39

1/8- 8.58 @ 81.52...........................10.50 @ 67.01

1/4- 13.38 @ 102.27.....................16.34 @ 82.37
Finish Margin- .009
.089------------Off Dial-----------.009
Winner


All in all a good day though! I came home with a second place trophy and ran a number I am pleased with. I ended up getting a hold of the guy with the DR's last night at home. He said he's going to put some air in them and make sure they don't have any holes or flat spots (they've been sitting is his garage for several months), and if they look ok I can have them this coming weekend to borrow!

If I can get the car to hook off the line on spray I think 13.0-.teens are not out of the question. If all that happens I may just have to put a 100 shot on and try for the 12s

You have no other mods besides a nitrous setup with an 80 shot?

Nope. The car is bone stock save for the nitrous.

I did remove my two 12in subs/box and the spare tire/jack, but that's it. From the factory 215/40-17 radials, all the way to the Nissan factory air filter...bone stock.

Best on motor ever is in sig...

Thanks! Yea, I bring it up to about 2,2k and just mat the gas on the 3rd yellow. I make it sound easier than it is. I ran at Richmond Dragway this past weekend and the track prep as I said was on point. On a Fri night street night I can't do that. I have to feather the gas coming off the line. I still manage in the 2.15 range on a street night, but on race day they VHT the crap out of the track, so... Also, a lot of it is driver. I've dragracing for about the last 5 years or so, so I'm not new to this. I just have a little experience and usually have good luck getting the best out of a car.

I'm looking foward to getting those DR's so I can spray right out of the gate. I think I could probably get into the 1.8s easy, if not better.

Jon, don't count on 1.8's on DR's and spray. My friend with his DR Z06 would hit consistent 1.8's, but he also had 380rwhp (lid, headers). I would figure 2.0 all day long with DR's and spray out of the hole.

If you look above, I got a 1.99 like the car sits. That was spraying about 20ft out. With DR's spraying out the gate I feel confident in 1.8s. We'll just have to wait and see...

BTW, my '96 LT1 Camaro stock with a 150 shot went consistent 1.7s on Nitto DR's all day long. That was about 400rwhp. And the slowest AWD turbo car I've ever seen 60 was a 1.8. Most do 1.6-.7....
