I actually heard that by just putting a Nismo sticker on your car you pick up 8.1452whp. My dealer suggested that if I put two on then it would be exponential and cause it to quadruple

Is there a re-flash yet for the 370? If so who?

Most of your basic bolt ons will do the trick: Intake, Headers, Exhaust, High Flow Cats/test pipes.

Good one would be some lowering springs, brake pads, rotors, stainless steel brakelines.

or you can get some NOS with all that

All of these are great ideas. I think one of the absolute best things you can do like Travis said is get weight out of the car. Maybe not as extreme as Shariff is getting but improving upon the power to weight ratio by simply ditching the things that are not needed in the car is cheap and easy. I like all of these ideas and I hope some other noobs are finding this useful as well.

Hey... uh nogood how about you post up a pic of just your face. I am all about smoking the twin turbo Z's! I'm sure some of the other guys on here would be pumped for another 300whp.

Amplified mentioned boost juice.

That's by far the best bang for your buck. 100+ hp for less than $1500 installed and tuned by a dynoshop, can't touch that.

(BTW, we are having a sale by on Nitrous for the 370Z, take a look here"
