1. The Kinetix Intake Plenum has proved to perform just like the old ones for the vq35's - like crap. The TQ curve peaked then fell off and was causing some other driveability issues - Put the stock plenum back on and all is good.

2. The Synchronic BOV's that I wanted to try out were causing problems with the MAF readings at idle - I had them put on the tried and true Tial's.

3. The car PC monitoring system that Sam wanted to try out ended up not working. His install guy left mid project, so he intstalled the Blitz system. I will run with it untill something better comes out.

The numbers were good with the above stuff on there (500hp, 450tq), but will be on the dyno today with the stock plenum and tials on and improve on those numbers.

I will be driving back through vegas then back up through Utah and Idaho this weekend and let you all know how it does.
Might be ok for NA applications. GLWS.
