Lyndon I agree with you except the headers, yes the price of install is where it deters most people away, but I gained around 15hp from freeing up the flow, coupled with test pipes and exhaust.

 

kinetix plenum V+
FI resonated test pipes
Z-tube (if u wanna call it a mod)
custom dual exhaust
Tuned with Osiris

4.1 gears are in the future.

 

^ Klubb is running the DE motor, but he also has a the good driver mod too, which helps more than anything.

 

I remember when i first drove the 335 a year ago before my tune i was shocked how it pulled. I drove one recently and did not have that "WOW" feeling anymore.
I also drove a 04 6mt stock sedan 2 weeks ago and it is amazing how 20-25 hp can change the whole car the way it pulls. The stock sedan felt like it did not wanna go compared to my car.

 

Gears, plenum spacer, HFC/Test pipes, TUNE!

 

can you only change the final drive on manuals? i would love to open up the fd on my auto "/

 

well like it says in my sig, i have the cat back( changing to greddy evo2) the z-tube and jwt , i am plannig on getting the spacer but am not sure what size to go with. On another note who in or around ATL can do a reflash and is it worth it?

 

does anyone know a ball park number on labor cost for changing a final gear? And since I have a 03, I guess I will need kit 1 + 2 as the ordering site stated? Just wondering...

 

How many miles do you have? Kit 2 has everything you need if you have high miles.

It costed me 590 to get installed. Was quoted 480 but since my G was new it took 1 extra hour of labor to get the bearings off and on.

 

really? I have 70k on mine, so, I don't need kit 1 at all huh? and does that mea it is cheaper for higher miles?

 

get either the nismo or the central 20 3.9 gears.. those are THE BEST n/a mod you can do for performance.

fvck motordyne

fvck the z tube.

nothing n/a can touch nismo or central 20 gears.

 

That's a pretty ignorant statement considering that Motordyne has one of the best bang for your buck NA mods

I agree that gears are a great modification though.

.

 

Easy to calculate how much a gear ratio change helps or hurts. Roughly the cube root of the ratio of change. 15% higher numerical gear is ~ 2.3% +-0.2 change in acceleration.

Where gear shifts are necessary don't forget to add the extra shift time lost acceleration.

Same with raising rev limit if you avoid a shift you gain that wasted time.

 

would the final drive changing help autos with their terrible top end? i want to do it to my car but i dont even know where to look for a final drive for a 5at

 

^yes it will help dramatically.
