By themselves though, I would think adding 20 whp up top, and about 4-8 everywhere else is not too bad.

Also, Your argument is people are wasting money on something that doesn't help the car or hurts it's performance.... To be honest, isn't that what you did by buying an IPL? it's performance advantages are slim over the standard G37 but yet it costs $10,000 more.

He doesn't own an IPL.

When I got my 2011 G37, the dealer did not have a black IPL in stock. So for about $6K or so they put together IPL performance pack for me. It was ECM, Eng cover, body, rear package tray, shocks and springs, wheels would have been more.

So they installed all that for at the dealer, I was happy with that as I wanted black on black and did not care for other colors.

Also just got my car service last week and they updated my ECM and TCM for me so I have the most recent software and eng tune!

I do how ever have to get my plugs replaced at 60K and not 100K like the non IPL does.
