The 4th ratio is supposed to be the closest 1:1 fake gear in my trans, however it automatically upshifts at 6250, not redline at 6500
So can't you get the HP/TQ up to 6250 rpm? Won't be the max, but it's something.

I just got my first service at the new Nissan of Bowie. They were awesome, all brand new facility.

They charged me 161.92 to mount, balance and align my new tires. Didnt think it was a bad deal at all.

Anyhow, do any of you have the motodyne intake manifold? If so is it easy to install? Im thinking about just doing it myself instead of paying someone to do it for me, then getting the car tuned.

That's a great deal for M&B + alignment.

Motordyne install should be pretty easy. Just don't drop anything...

Jon (ZCarMan) has the M370 manifold on his. I think he had AAM do the install though...

That should be really easy. I had my manifold off during my TT install and it was a piece of cake. I suggest blowing some compressed air around the area before you unbolt the manifold and remove it.

Wow, that's a great deal. I had no idea they were open already. May have to give these guys a shot instead of driving down to Herb Gordon Nissan all the way in Silver Spring. Not that they are bad, they have always been good to me but Bowie is closer than Silver Spring.
