First passes with blower, I am happy :)
Quick rundown- 6lbs boost with P1SC-1, ECS blower cam, longtubes and street tires (potenza).
First pass:
60' ------- 2.3604
330' ------ 5.7230
1/8 ET---- 8.3548
1/8 MPH -- 94.12
1000' ----- 10.5580
1/4 ET---- 12.4333
1/4 MPH -- 120.03
Second pass:
60' ------- 2.1473
330' ------ 5.3813
1/8 ET---- 7.9679
1/8 MPH -- 95.93
1000' ----- 10.1422
1/4 ET---- 11.9975
1/4 MPH -- 121.42
Lovin' the 11 on a true street tire
And just knowing that there is a lot more left in it with some drag tires is very nice. San Antonio Raceway is about 600' above sea level from what I was told. Temp on the first run was around 87* and on the second run it had cooled to about 75. Any questions or comments are welcome and BTW this is only my second time ever at the track, well, 2nd time actually running my car at the track

Yeah my 60's suck LOL. I just wanted to go out and not break anything first time out boosted.
Its an MN6.
Car was run as it drives everyday with the exception of tire pressure, 106k miles on her. Heck it was a 250 mile round trip from work to the track and back home, just lovin' every single minute of it!!!!
Thanks man!!!

What was your ET? The Zs do have the MN12 tranny which acts like 3.90s 1-3rd. I was hoping for higher MPH but some tracks are stingy. I have walked down a car that runs 11.2s and run very close with my buds bike that has run 10.8@126 'til 135 then I start pulling him bad.

Thats a great MPH. I was hoping for at least 123 but I was more happy with 11s on the Potenzas 
Those tires have to be the smallest 275s out there 
I think with a 1.9 60' I can get to mid 120s. I'll have about 5 more MPH at that point and my car pulls very good up top, just gotta hit those shifts
