What can we do for you?

as cool as turbo kits are, we NEEEEEED some NA mods. we have nothing....

IDK if its just me or what, but ever since every car manufacturers went to more and more boosted platforms, it makes me wanna stay NA that much more. with bored tb's and/or a proper manifold upgrade, these cars should be making over 350whp NA. considering one dude already hit 342whp. i mean that was probably a little high, but u can see 320's and 330's all day long with these cars with bolt ons. We've gotta get past this plateau. 350whp NA out of a 6 cyl is beastly. that would be approx 395crank hp. BEEEAAAAST

that 342whp number i still am very skeptical on. it was a number from a company trying to sell their products. i'm sure perfect dyno conditions were attempted and many other things.

but i do agree with you on more N/A mods being nice. i'd love to do a intake manifold upgrade soon as long as it's not paying someone $300 too much for a 350Z manifold that they shaved out a bit. that is the biggest joke of an overpriced mod lol.

On a car like the 370z I highly doubt you will see a intake manifold that will make power N/A than what's currently available. This car has no camshafts beside the Jun exhaust cams to take advantage of such a mod. This car really needs better tuning options like VVEl cracked.

The main problem with the intake manifold is space. They're great on cars like the LS series Chevys and 5.0 mustangs, but they don't have the same design as the VQ motors. The way the heads are laid out, you can fit an IM without taking up too much vertical space. With the 370Z, an intake manifold would be great, but there is almost no room to add more material without having to raise the hood.

How about putting a gtr manifold? With a modified strut bar? Just throwing it out there
