Wow, that coulda been spent on rice!

OP - GTM is making a Turn Key twin turbo kit for about $6,000 which will net you roughly 450-500whp. I doubt you would need much more than that on a DD.

Plus installation and you are looking at more than 1/3 the price of the car off the lot.

Yes, I've been keeping an eye on that thread very closely. I have my reasons as to why I would supercharge vs turbo which can be saved for another discussion one day.

Sure it is, just depends on who tunes it. :roflpuke2:

Yeah but you get the same HP of a GTR, if not more, at a fraction of the cost. The OP also mentioned he has some experience modding cars.

It sounds like the BigT needs boost on his Z. I really don't blame him. The Z is quick but not OMG quick. ...

Maybe my perception has been skewed from sport bikes...

Breaking news! OP discovers factory FI responds to mods better than NA!

And Jungle gets smoked by yet another Camry!

I can't a start a poll on my phone, but it'd be funny if someone did to see what people think are the main causes of jungle getting smoked by camrys lols.

I've never been smoked by a Camry, i actually can launch the hell out of this car. Unfortunately all of my driving is city, stop light to stop light. Having to floor it past 5-6K RPM just to get past the AccordV6 gets old. Yet again i got into this car for the looks and of course the handling which dont let me down at all. However people shouldnt make the same mistake as me if they want a low end torque monster. I should of known my driving situation but i really didnt expect 12-13mpg. If you're going to get that you may as well get a powerful V8. Its not like i hit the canyons everyday.

M370 manifold and get your low to mid end power. does wonders. Probably one of the best drivability mods you can get. At least yours is only leased jungle, so you'll be out of your car before you know it

The best drivability mod on the planet is upgrading driver skill :)

I don't see how eliminating some wheel gap without some exaggerated protrusion is considered rice.

I think guys over-stressing other guys ride mods need to get laid, period.:ugh2:

I think guys that write super long lists about whats rice need girlfriends.:shakes head:

What happens when all a guys mods are perfect but he's a fvckin dork and a idiot? lol that should be another thread.:icon17:
