What can be done to increase performance on 370z?
 
I have installed a new cold air intake and I'm considering a performance chip to increase hp and save on gas but I can't find very much information on the perfomance chips that would work best for a 370z. Do any of you have any recommendations on which performance chip to purchase or what else can be done to increase the power?

dont buy a chip!!! get your car dyno tuned!! Before you do this though I would consider looking into some more bolt-ons. Cat back exhaust, HFC, test pipes, or headers before you go to tune. If you are looking for a big power bump.. look into superchargers and twin turbos

I think people use uprev.

Terrible, what mods have you done to yours?

to much!! I had a G37 before (same motor) and did all the bolt ons, test pipes (cat delete) cat back, intakes, and a tune and I was very happy with the performance. I am trying to take the Z far above that and am currently twin turboing the car.. If you have the budget, DO THIS and dont look back! (it gets pricey) If you are not looking to spend so much, give Fast Intentions a call and talk to Tony about his cat back exhaust and long tube headers. Those two mods plus a tune and a few suspension mods I think you would be very pleased with the upgrades.. +1 for tuning with uprev

<$3000 CBE, HFC, Cold Intake - About 40 hp
<$8000 Stillen or GTM supercharger - About 120 hp
>$10,000 Twin Turbo (GTM most common) - Bunch-o-HP :D

If you're running an auto, you probably want to factor transmission cooler and a torque converter or tranny upgrade into it also for forced induction.

Stickers

Don't know if he's ready for stickers, they may be too much power for him to handle. I put a few stickers on and the dyno exploded, it couldn't calculate that high. he should be safe and just stick with twin turbo.

I thought the Stillen 1.5 stage was making about 525-600hp now?

I think stage 1s are around 500-520 bhp. In terms of WHP gains, we're looking at probably 120-150 I think. I am sure there are plenty of dyno sheets on the forums somewhere.

I've already done a post about the dangers of noobs using too many stickers and the consequences thereof...

If you get up in that power range, you are probably gonna need more supporting mods = more $$
