I saw a couple people mention it, but I don't think it's been quantified....
Seat time > Bolt-ons. All day long. If you were to come to the track and run our test & tune course with your stock 370 regularly, 4-8 runs every month with pointers from instructors for a year, you could cut off as much as 10 seconds off your time. (A driving school would give you as much seat time in a day or two.) Now lets say you were to take the same car and make a few runs one month, then go buy shocks, springs, sways, a differential, A CAI kit,some HFC, exhaust, and heck throw in a tune too. If you spend the whole year putting parts on the car (rather than getting seat time) and come back to test it out a year later, you might shave a second or two off your time. Simply put, "Seat Time you" will absolutely destroy "Parts Store" you. |

That is so very true on the 60fter. It will make or break u, remember every .10th of a second that a car is ahead of u down the track is one car length. Seat time and great tires make a difference.

YouTube - ‪350Z drag racing‬‏ The orange Z was a FI beast, (my Z is stock HP, on street tires). I thought he realed me in at the end, but he swore I beat him. If you look close, you will notice two STi's in the night runs. (they were two different cars and drivers.) Last edited by Z1NONLY; 06-28-2011 at 11:30 AM. |

Bolt-ons (exhaust, HFCs, intakes) shouldn't void your warranty. Just do what I did, before doing any mods ask around some local dealerships and see if they are cool with bolt-ons. If they are fine with them, then they won't void your warranty if you do install them. If not, then try to find a different place. I was lucky since the dealership I went to regularly was fine with me putting them on my car.
Seat time is probably a lot more helpful than mods, but no reason you can't do both
