Stock Air Box V.S. Aftermarket?

[2Fast280ZX]

What are the horsepower gains/Throttle Response gains from a Aftermarket air intake?

Are the gains substantial? or are the gains not noticeable?

I am curious as to where I might acquire a Short-Throw Shifter?

well, sinceyour car is an 80 I'll assume it's stock and that means n/a, hp gains, well the stock intake is cold air, nut a cone fiter does increase filter area, I'd be suprised to see more than 5 hp gain

if you want to build a 280ZX fr power you have 2 choices, hich compression carbed motor, or a turbo swap, I am a turbo fan and it's cheaper to get mroe power btu there is somethign to be said for the sound of a well tuned L6

and wiht the 80 model trans, you cut it off and rethread it, if you convert to the 280zx turbo's T5 trans you cna use a mustang or camaro shifter, I don't recall which off hand

Well you seem to know a great deal about these cars, I don't mean to go off topic or anything but, would you have any idea where I could get an OEM or after market dashboard for under $150.00?

Good luck with that......

If you are looking for a perfect dash then plan on spending upwards of 500.00- 1000.00. They run high, but if you want to look around JY you may find a decent looking dash for around what you are looking to spend.

he's looking for an S130 dach, they are far less prone to cracking, junryards, or find someone parting otu a turbo donor, I've sent 3 to the crusher with the donor shells myself
