Even if you drop 12 to 18k into a TT setup, your still alot cheaper than any other car out there that's capable of 500whp.

About 20k of mods (and lots of blood, tears, and sweat) on my Galant, which was worth $4500 at the time, got it to over 600 BHP. But it was also hopeless and FWD.

Point is, I'd rather have a car that's engineered to put down 500 BHP from the factory than spend endless amounts of money trying to make a car engineered to do less do that much more...

very good point.

Personally I could care less about the $ per hp gained, i have previously owned 5 z's and loved all of them except the 350 (I still liked it but it just wasn't my favorite)... I bought the car for the same reason I bought all the others, I have always had great experiences and loved the allure of the z's... I guess I am just an enthusiast at heart.

No matter where I go everyone seems to absolutely love this car, I don't see anyone really going nuts or walking up to a gt mustang or a c6 corvette or anything of the nature the way they approach the 370z's whenever there is one around.

Just get the Fast Intentions exhaust. its rated 27HP gain and $1500, and you get the agressive sound. instead of IHE set up do that exhaust with some wheels. get the Volk CE28n or Enkei PF01 or RPF1. The CE28n is pricey but the Enkei's are cheap. droping weight on your wheels will help alot.

Good luck.

FI cbe is not gonna give you 27hp to the wheels...and actually for a naturally aspirated v6 I don't think you could find another car that gets as good as gains as this car. However, anything that has forced induction will give you far better gains with boltons(pulley for s/c)/tune.

Maybe headers and exhaust gives you 27 to the wheels? Altho Berk cbe + hfc is rumored to be 36 hp to the wheels, essentially 30rwhp for the combo would be a generous dyno and an initial low baseline...

:shakes head: FAIL. ok, idk where i got 27hp gain from but heres the dyno chart from F.I.

I appologize for the mess up. If the link dosent work just go here and click on dyno chart.

Fast Intentions

I would literally cry tears of joy if hfc, cbe, and cai would land us an extra 100rwhp. Literally cry. :tup:

Does anyone know what the 7AT is rated for horsepower and torque?

I'm sure a few bolt-ons like cold air induction and a cat back system would not overwhelm, but would you fry the AT with a Stillen supercharger or a twin turbo setup?

20whp sounds ludacris for only a catback. I call BS on the dyno.

Cost per HP may be high, but worth every penny to have something that is your own and built to suit you, not just a factory rocket. :driving:

Bored much who digs up a 6 year old thread for there first post! LoL

Damn grave digger. :rofl2:
