Just finished my break-in period, does this engine not like to rev?

Im about to change the feel of the car to even faster, I think Im goign to go the route of an LSD and final gear upgrade as I wont be able to afford the SC. Im just trying to decide which gear ratio to do.

So based on what I understand, we have three typical upgrades:

The intakes:

STILLEN : STILLEN Generation 3 Ultra Long Tube Dual Intake Kit

The HFCs:

STILLEN : STILLEN Hi-Flow Catalytic Converters

And Exhausts:

STILLEN : STILLEN 370Z Dual Exhaust System

Are these the upgrades people keep talking about?! I feel like I am lost in all this terminology!

Stillen have great products and are very popular.

If you take a look in the Intake/Exhaust section, as well as the Sponsored Intake/Exhaust section, you'll also see the other vendors as well. Injen, Berk, Fast Intentions, Invidia, and ERZ come to mind.

I changed the ring and pinion in my 350Z to a 3.912 from the stock 3.56. It definitely makes a difference in the way the car accelerates. It also makes the car feel more torquey.

I guess it's not a fair comparison given my 3.9 gears, but that is one of my complaints about the 370Z. It doesn't feel as torquey down low as my modified 350Z does.
