Ive noticed that i cut .2 off my times when i powershift, but ive only started doing it after i put in a kc clutch and a tremec tranny. Oh and guys, those 350z' (depending on the package) are a lot faster than people give em credit for. A buddy of mine has a 350 NISMO edision and it runs 13.3s. Realy good run BTW, to me it sounds like its a drivers race. Your cars are pretty eqaul....not trying to be a party pooper, but judging by his mphs it looks as if he was having traction issues, im sure a perfect launch could have lowered his time some. It looks like You just drove much better than him.
