How Dumb I Was Again. Wasting Money on NA Parts

If you really need all that hp why not buy a GT500 or a Vette? You get 650hp right out of the box. You can pick up a used 2013

If you really need all that hp why not buy a GT500 or a Vette? You get 650hp right out of the box. You can pick up a used 2013 Shelby for the price of a $45,000 NISMO plus the $10K FI kit. And the Shelby is designed to handle all that HP. You wouldn't be pushing the engine to near or beyond it's design limits since it's already designed from the ground up to run built-in FI.

The only 45K shelbys car the used 2012s. And you can get a new Nismo for 40K. I don't see anyone getting a used 2013 for 45K unless it has a salvage title or a lemon with a long vehical history report.
