Well, it’s finally springtime here in Chicago and opening day of Byron Dragway was this past Saturday. Our 350z has been done for a couple weeks and we’ve been awaiting some nice weather and the opening! We headed to the track and after a delayed opening we started to make some base boost runs. Since we were on our new version of the RPS Carbon Carbon clutch, and new SPL suspension we figured a couple base runs would help me get a feel for it.

First couple passes the track wasn’t hooking at all and I bogged a bit on them, clutch is more grabby so I just have to get used to slipping it. After a few passes and getting used to the clutch we ended up turning the boost up a bit and it resulted in a couple mid 9 second passes.  Here are some pics courtesy of “Panda” from www.thechicagogarage.org (Thanks)
