It's not neck-breaking performance, but given that it was only around $250, it definitely delivers more than you would expect from a bolt on.

For the money, quality and performance....I'd highly recommend it.
Congrats jnkirk1974!!! Glad to hear you felt gains! I posted a review when I first got mine and was equally surprised. I don’t understand how there are threads that say bolts-ons provide no gain and are a waste when so many of us have dyno numbers and driving impressions that prove otherwise.

I agree, this is a must mod and as far as I'm concerned one of the best bang for your buck!

Agreed. I think the sway bar and spacer upgrades were my best bang for the buck...and best mods overall. Can't wait for the Iso-Thermal gasket comming soon.

Recently I've been hearing really great things about the sways... they have been on my list for a little while - now they will be installed sooner than later!

The sway bars are MANDATORY. Particularly if you ever take your car out to the track.

The understeer is disgusting but swaybars fix that real quick.

Oh yeah, I started a thread on MY 350Z. It discusses the details of the new Iso Thermal Plenum spacers.

Check it out and let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Will,

Yes, the copper TB heater will work on the G35!

The copper TB heater is a stand alone unit that sells for $70, but if you hook up with the GB you can get it for $50.

Thumbs up Iso Thermal !

Phew, i finally did the lower plenum iso thermal gasket this Sunday,
It didn't take me longer than 1.5 hrs..i just had some difficulties removing
the hoses below the TB (since i dun have the right pilers, and i couldn't
find anyone to help me hold the upper plenum while I do those hoses..)

In short, the gasket is of good fit, and everthing worked out great! No
leakage at all !

Anyways, I am looking forward to the Copper coolant bypass mod, and when
is the group buy?
