Not much to contribute here but I do bracket race my 240sx as much as my schedule allows. I hit E-town in NJ and Atco when there are import events with bracket racing. Not trying to go the fastest in the 1/4 as each second faster seems directly proportional to the speed at which my wallet shrinks.

My setup is 10psi on a stock KA with a stock auto. car is 3035lbs with me in it and 1/2 tank of gas. Car runs 13.75 in the 1/4 mi at 104mph. I only get a 2.25 60' though as the auto launches at 1800rpms. I use Nitto Drag Radials.

Not a whole lot I can chime in here about, but I do have a few things. I have cut a 1.59 60' on KTS Coilovers on full soft in the rear, and halfway in the front. (Without the 2 step on the AEM setup, all manual launching.) So, good 60's can be had on coilovers. Also, I'm running a Z32 tranny and stock axles with slicks and I lanuch literally at redline (GT30R, SR20DET block, stock internally other than cams and a HG.), and I've never had a problem with axles breaking in prob 50 or so launches on slicks.

Slip the clutch is best and preload the drivetrain. Helps a ton to have a linelock to soften the launch

Great reading guys!
I have a question - I read often about subframe bushings, what's that all about? Do rubber bushings really kill 60ft that much?
BTW, any new times / records / runs below 11.0?

1.5 is real good. What's the setting on the agx front and rear. Do you have any launch control or some sort? Nice to video of that run.

Yes, was going to ask too - is 2-step really necessary? My traction is so dismal that I don't need any boost off the line
