Mixed up ninous with infinius. lol my bad.

I bought a house. If I didn't, I'd be RICH! Expecially because I bought mine 2 years ago. BAH!

My friend had an STI and talked a bit about goodspeed performance. Where are they located at? Are they good with our cars?

Really happy with the Borla. Has the H-pipe, has fantastic sound. Doesn't look as baller as the HKS and stuff like that, but performs well. No Rasp, sounds stock cruising, and sounds great when you put your foot into it. Berk & Borla, sound bad ***. Let me upload a clip for you my friend...

Ouch, that sucks. I'm hoping on getting mine sometime at the end of this year.

They are in tempe not too far from xact dyno. I know they do a lot of STI's and BMW's and stuff, not sure how many infiniti's they do but I saw a Boosted Z up on one of the lifts and they seemed pretty nice to me They don't have the osiris software though.

Cams and head work. If you have the money to spend, then get your motor built too. And of course a retune. I'd add some solid motor and tranny mounts to help get more power to the ground too.

Although these won't make more power, more aggressive gearing will make your car rev up faster, increasing acceleration. Solid differential bushings can help your car gain a bit more traction to increase efficiency too. And I'd add two more things to the list of wanted parts: sway bars and a set of good struts. I don't understand how people can want to mod their cars for performance but forget about the most important mods for better handling, or more traction at that. Power means nothing if you can't control it.

Hi,

How do you like the JWT clutch/flywheel setup? I can't decide between that or the South bend clutch and UR flywheel setup currently offerred here:
https://g35driver.com/forums/engine/...-shipping.html

If you have any thoughts please let me know. I am a fan of JWT and have no experience with South Bend (been to the city though!) or UR. Some people have good things to say about the SB clutch though!! Thanks for any advice out there.

I am impressed by your list of mods. Looks like I've still got quite a ways to go on mine.

JWT Clutch and Flywheel seem great. I got it because a lot of people said it retained the stock feel without being as rough as the other performance clutches, and still handled a lot of horsepower even with boost. Havent drove any other setups, but feels good to me.

Heard the UR flywheel is real good. Less chatter than most other flywheels supposedly. Never heard of south bend?

Thanks for the info, I've heard real good things about the SB clutches, and good to know the UR flywheel is highly recommended. Do you think the tuning on your ECU have helped with performance or is it negligible difference for the money?

Thanks,
James

Well I got 9 Wheel Horsepower, 12TQ, fixed the air/fuel ratio so it's not running lean with the mods and is safer for engine.

PLUS, I have the option on the fly to make sure valet guy never screws with my car, can put 100 octane in for some more HP, can switch to 89 octane mode to save dollars.

Well worth it to me.

Mrev2 is a great upgrade for non rev-up and rev-up's alike. As long as you tune the car after the mrev2, it's been proven to be a great mod.
