Am i Missing Something?
 
So i have a white 2010 fully loaded 370, at the moment my goal is to have a reliable ~330 rwhp (dynojet).

My current mods are magnaflow catback and k & n filters. Now im not satisfied with the sound of the catback so im planning to replace the axle back portion with something, less restrictive and louder.

Here is my list of planned purchases for march:

Longtube Headers
Underdrive Pulley
Stillen G3 intakes
4.08 Gears
Motordyne Intake Manifold
Lightweight Flywheel
Wheel Spacers (25 Rear, 20 Front, Stock Rays)
Coilovers
Swaybars
Camber Kit
Tune 94 octane (equivalent to 92 octane in america)(who should i go with?)

Does anyone have suggestions as to which brands i should buy and why? Or what i shouldnt buy from my list?

Annnd GO!

Have you ever considered FI? if you are you should re think your mods.

My first statement would be search my friend... Search, Search SEARCH!! :facepalm:

That being said, my second statement/question would be, What are you planning on using this car for. That's great that you have a whp goal, but honestly, it doesn't matter if you have 500 whp if you're just using it as a DD, it doesn't matter.

That being said again, based on your idea of N/A power mods only, and the few suspension items listed, I'm guessing this is going to be a DD/Canyon runner or spirited driver... yes? So let's go through your list here...

Here is my list of planned purchases for march:

With all of this being purchased in one month only, based on pricetags... you have enough $$ invested to essentially just buy a Twin Turbo kit and surpass your whp goal, and taking a lot of parts off this list that are unnecessary... Just a thought... but going with this list...

Longtube Headers - Is your area big on smog checks? If so, you'll want to look into HFC's instead. Also to consider there is an 8-10 week waiting list, just FYI.
Underdrive Pulley - Not completely necessary for HP gain alone, and if you're not going for broke but a very plausible HP number, you could save the money/hassle if you want to.
Stillen G3 intakes - Best choice so far.
4.08 Gears - Not really an HP producing mod, and if this car isn't being used for some sort of highly aggressive driving, is rather unnecessary, you can save the cost of this part+install to purchase other things of more return on investment.
Motordyne Intake Manifold - Doesn't net a worthwhile gain/$ imo. But again, if you're trying to milk every HP out of your motor damned the cost then ok. But if there's any sort of budget, this one could be left off for the immediate future.


Lightweight Flywheel
Wheel Spacers (25 Rear, 20 Front, Stock Rays)
Coilovers
Swaybars
Camber Kit


- These mods don't really go for power, so based on this thread, I'll save that bit for another section since you're just looking for power info right now.

Tune 94 octane (equivalent to 92 octane in America)(who should i go with)[/QUOTE]

The tune will be an UpRev tune, which as far as I know, is the only licensed tune there is...?? :confused:

But other then that, hopefully that should get you started in the right direction. :tiphat:

Have you considered which exhaust you'd like to change to?

Check out:

-Stillen
-Amuse
-Akrapovic

(youtube for sights & sounds)

Stillen - Heavy, quiet, not much gains over Nismo vs cost.

Amuse - Way overpriced just for name, quiet, medium HP gain

Akrapovic - Sexy CF tips, high cost, not a major HP gain, Very raspy.

(All heard in person, not from just youtube videos which as we all know don't really do exhaust justice.)
