Hey guys is this correct?

370z:
Horsepower---332
Weight (lbs)----------3,232
Power to weight---- 9.73lbs/hp

Reduce 100 pounds:
Weight= 3,132(lbs)/332(hp)= 9.43lbs/hp
In turn: 3,232/9.43 = 342hp (plus 10hp)

Sooooo if spare tire/jack and other stuff you got in the back weighs about 50lbs(according to most) and the passenger seat weighs maybe around 40lbs... You can get almost 10HP just by poppin them out

Lets go a step further:

Reduce 500lbs= 393HP but I think that is stripping the car completely haha.

Plus I am using curb weight not gross weight... Which include passengers/cargo/fluids....

it's nice, but most of the teams racing 370s (at least that I've seen) have been buying a regular nismo and building it up.

Cutting weight won't give you more HP... Just changes power to weight ratio which will definitely help. I heard for every 100lbs in weight reduction you can shave 1/10th off your quarter mile.

That's why those little honda hatchbacks with 200whp run 12's in the quarter mile... They weigh nothing.

look what I found.

Uprev Pro tuner. Closest one to us.

I know it won't give you more HP, your not doing anything to the engine, but by increasing the power to weight ratio, you proportionally increase HP, if you still weighed "the same". Thats what I mean. If you look at the math, that's exactly what I did... Just sayin

Apparently I suck at shifting in an auto:/ the best I'm doin is high 13's close to 14 flat... Any tips on shifting rpms? This is while some wheel spin and no nos...

Get a grounding kit. leave it on DS mode. let the computer do the work. Well its what all guys on myg37 recommended. launch the car at 2k


After further investigation apparently 370z only have D and M mode. so i have no idea.

batman_4

what is your 60ft?


the track is tricky...i've never been GOOD at a track. example, my friend in that lime green GTI ran a 13.5 and my best was a 13.7...but on the street i will beat him without a problem.

What's your trap speed?

I think you should free up your exhaust and get cold air intakes. HFC's, a catback, Stillen G3's and a tune. Even if you get high flow cats and an aftermarket y-pipe, that will help greatly.

If you're running high 13's without the nitrous... That's about right for a basically stock Z. The short tails aren't going to free up that much power and the K&N intakes are most likely heat soaking.

If you still have your system in the back, too... I'm not sure how much it all weights, but seems like it might be quite a bit. That's creating a lot of extra weight your Z is dragging around.

Damm hommie is that with you running on Nos too? To tell you the truth I don't even know what rpm I shift at, all I know is that i zone in on the sound of the engine and that has never failed me.
