Nissan 370Z Forum  

What new under-hood Performance Parts would you like to see from COBB Tuning?

Crack VVEL, first and foremost. As for these cars "needing FI". I'm throwing the BS flag. I still believe we can make 400+ Flywheel HP NA. Don't get me wrong,

Crack VVEL, first and foremost.

As for these cars "needing FI". I'm throwing the BS flag. I still believe we can make 400+ Flywheel HP NA. Don't get me wrong, turbo cars are the most fun you can have behind the wheel, but even the best systems add weight and maintenance headaches. You should also consider that the stock torque curve (very flat) is the reason the Z is such and easy car to drive fast. You can kiss that goodbye with turbo. A SC will maintain a stock-like torque curve, but again adds weight.

Cobb, how about some titanium springs, valves, retainers and an 8000K+ RPM redline? I'm guessing another 30-50HP could be squeezed out on revs alone. With a good VVEL tune and maybe an exhaust cam, look out M3.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

I dont know about you and everyone else...but I rarely roll around at 5K+

HP at the top end is meaningless to me...low and midrange torque...need moar.

I cruise like every other car on the road; In sixth gear conserving go juice. However, when I am having fun I wind out every gear, and when carving up the twistys I try to keep my revs as high as possible.

I mean no offense, but if you wanted head pinning (tire shredding) torque you should have bought a Camaro or the like. Just sayin...
