From what ive learned about my car is that a $1300 exhaust system gets you maybe 10 hp and nothing that you will notice. The 3.5 was tuned to about max from the factory leaving very little improvement. Just like to know if its the same case with the 3.7.

I'm still NA and about +55 whp over stock. Yes... I can feel it.

no problems so far. oil burning no issue but only got 4000 on it.
it rides and handles way better than the350
to me it was a major upgrade from the 350 and the 350 was a damn good car.
i think in the long run it will turn out to be one of the best z''s nissan has made.

its been said here over and over best in class for bang for your buck.

Well how much you got invested in mods and what all you got done

Well I can't give an indication as to how much the investment would cost other than give an itemized retail cost of each item since I got most of mine on sponsorship early on.

With that said the mods on my vehicle (that produce power) are as follows:

All my mods have been dyno tested extensively. I would have to search for graphs as it's been quite awhile. My car's got over 700 miles of dyno testing most of which went into the development of the ECU tune. anyway...

- Stillen Gen III intakes. These DO produce power unlike some other filters IN the engine bay that actually lose power.

- Stillen HFC's. Definitely the worst choke point on the 370 and the most bang for your buck. I'm sure just about any HFC will produce similar if not better results here.

- Stillen CBE. Power to be had here as well.

- JWT flywheel. It weighs HALF of what the stock flywheel weighs and does yeild a gain of around 5 rwhp on the dyno.

- ECU tune. Not a piggypack but a true ECU reflash. Chalk up another 10 or 11 rwhp and a nice torque increase to boot.

I've got all sorts of other stuff on the car such as sway bars, oil cooler, SS brake lines etc. etc. but it's not anything that directly produces power per se.

I fully agree with this as i'm around the same in mods and power upgrade. You really feel and hear the difference, i went with an intake, HFC, CBE.
