Costs per HP gain unworthy for our Z's

Solus · 08-09-2010, 11:19 AM

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...

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