added some stuff to my ZX

60mm throttle body, 2 inch spacer, 8mm street fire wires, ngk plugs, 2 inch rear wheel spacers, eneos oil change, yokohama advan tires, took power strearing belt off and shed some weight, last track time was 15.74. once i get a new fuel pump ill take it to the track again and see what my new time is. hoping to be in the 15.5 or less area

As for your other upgrades, they are good, but miniscule "power" upgrades... were you not using NGK plugs before? And tires aren't going to increase your track time unless you are having traction problems.

None the less, I look forward to hearing about the new time results. Every little bit helps when it comes to the track.

Are you riding your clutch at launch? For a mostly stock (~130whp) 280zx, it shouldn't have any traction problems on even stock 14's.
