Forged Performance: A couple of visitors stopped by...

semtex

serge, I suggest you check out these two threads. They include many more details including video clips so that you can hear how my car sounds for yourself.

This thread covers the installation of the exhaust and HFCs that Sharif is talking about: Stillen Exhaust with Berk HFCs

I have since installed a new intake, and just yesterday I got more dyno results and made another video. All of this is detailed here: Install of Stillen G3 Intakes complete - review, etc.

You might also want to check out my journal thread, where I document all the things I've done in a single thread: Semtex's Monterey Blue 370Z

Thanks semtex!

The info you provide in these threads is priceless!

Not that I'm all about saving fuel, but with the gains that you get from these two upgrades being so noticeably high, wouldn't you save some significant fuel?

semtex

Yep. Funny you should ask, because I just filled up and was pleasantly surprised to discover that I got 16.8mpg my last tank. That might not sound so great, but consider that I was getting around 14.7mpg before the upgrades (I have a lead foot). Also consider that I did something like 8 WOT dyno pulls on the past tank of gas, not to mention drove pretty hard for a couple of days after installing the intakes because I wanted to make sure the ECU 'learned' the new mod. All in all, when I drive around 'normally', I have to use less throttle to get the same acceleration pre-mods, hence the fuel savings.
