Challenger Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Just was wondering about what power levels youd need in a 280z to get into the14s. I know your ratios and car weight play a large role but maybe you can mention your setup and what it took to get into the14's or for what its worth whatever your best time is.

JMortensen Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Why don't you just reverse engineer one of those ET calculators? Plug in your ET and your weight and it should give you the hp you need to get there. Or plug in your weight and change the hp until you get the ET you want. Once you know the hp requirement the rest is all up to you as the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc052685 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 my stock 79 280zx ran a 15.5 @ maybe 85mph. some bolt-ons, a good clutch and tires should have no problem doing it in a 280z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyfriend Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I feel bad about putting this out there....my automatic 77 2+2 consistently ran a 17.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittie Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 My 260/280 (bits from both cars, it was a 77 so a kind of 'cross over' model if you like) ran a 14.2 weight is 1250kg with me in it (2755 pounds) just had it dynoed at 180hp at the wheels and 230 Nm of torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
