This modification is only for low engine load/RPM fuel pressure control and will have absolutely no effect on overall output capacity of the pump/assembly. It is unrelated to any pressure drop at the top end... it is only related to maintaining pressure control at idle.
ahh that i did not know! thank you for the information

Perhaps today I will go into this page and update it to explain a lot more and with what findings we have had since actually using these fuel pumps after modifications. I can also add details into specifics with the rest of the 370z fuel system so people know exactly what they are doing and why to do it.

also so my G37 has the 350z version im assuming because its a early 08 model. Which of the fuel pump assembly is better? 350z/g37 or the newer 370z for FI applications with upgraded pumps or is there really none
