Whatever.... Cognitive dissonance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From "Betty's site:

Q: What components does this set ground?
A: Betty's Garage wiring sets ground the negative battery terminal to the chassis, the engine block to chassis on both the right and left cylinder banks of the engine block, and both throttle bodies to the negative battery terminal. Only one throttle body on 1st generation G35s because they only have one.

Uhhhh...exactly what my routing does. TB to chassis to Battery. It makes no difference to skip the Chassis part..You clearly do not understand the concept here..

Keep it in the power band... that's what the close ratio gear box is for?

I took the Injens off and no difference.

Though this latest mod seems to have solved everything and then some.

the last post on this was awhile ago, but i just took my z in to get an oil changed 2 days ago. i noticed it didn't have as much balls as it did before i took it in immediately. the dealer used mobile 1 and they used the right weight (made sure to check after i noticed loss of power). I never had a problem will it being sluggish before the oil change. No one had any real input on here of what the problem could possibly be. just off subject about intakes.
