Conversions:
weight = 3560 pound = 3560 pound
velocity = 114 mile/hour = 114 mile/hour
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
horsepower (hp) = 411.63944098855 horsepower
hmm.......

Hmm...on second thought with a 15% DTL that would be 307rwhp... It might be much closer than I would like to admit.

3280# puts you at ~3140# for just the car, which computes. You could lose some more weight up front with the Braille battery and a lightweight clutch/FW combo. A good set of wheels helps of course as well. I just bought a 60# Kirk roll bar for my Z, so the weight will go back up to ~3100# in short time.

Yup. I dont think Im going to get to deep into weight reduction with my Z. I took alot of weight out of my maxima and the road noise is not pleasant. I may change my mind if I end up running 13.000 full wieght lol. I need to weigh my car with the DR's on. Im sure its a little heavier.

Its possible you were making 340 or more uncorrected that day though.
If I remember right you had REALLY cool dense air. The extra air could easily show an extra 5-7% (if the air is 5-7% denser). I wouldn't completely rule out the possibility of the accuracy of these things.

I really think they make close to 320 at the crank during average conditions anyway, and not the 306 that is advertised at the crank.

I believe that if you go to dragtimes.com and find your corrected mph and punch that into the calculator your hp figure will be very close to the real thing. I just checked mine and it came out within 2hp on each corrected run.
