Once I put in the TQ Converter - the hole shot became mine as well.
I have extensive mods though and no FI...just about every mod that can be done, that actually makes sense, next to FI as a matter of fact.

I asked this question like 15 posts ago.. Yet I got a mysterious silence. I'm thinking that these were all rolling starts.. which is cool, but I'd like to know the details. And what OTHER mods, if any, do you have TX??

. . . . Calm down big guy, I was just teasing.
On a serious note . . . G35_TX, just to clear things up, once again . . . Did you run against the 2 M3's from a dead stop or a rolling start? If it was from a rolling starting start . . . What were the specifics, whatever the scenarios were?
There is no question in my mind that MREV has better tapped into the G's NA potential. I don't plan to hunt down M3's anytime in the near future, I'll just live vicariously through your experiences.
Edit: paulywalnuts446, did you ever imagine that your simple question(s) would have led to this?

An interesting side note . . . I normally get about 15 to 16 mpg while driving 50/50 under what I call, "Spirited Driving," which is shifting gears in the 4k to 5k ( 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th) rpm range. Now, with MREV installed . . . I am getting 18 to 19 mpg driving the same way. In the past, I had to shift gears below 3k rpm to achieve the better mpg. Not only has my G's driveabilty improved, I am actually getting better gas mileage . . . Go figure . . . I get better performance and save money doing it.

does that translate into 0.5~0.7 secs quicker to 1/4 miles? we all know more bolt-on you add the less effective they gets collectively(cancelling out eachother out)...if it does translate to 0.7 quicker or more? there arent much of reason we should add other mods.
I haven't put my G on a Dyno, as yet, like the rest. However, after I install my Hks Hi-Power, I will get a dyno. I know that doesn't help anyone with regard to MREV, but it's just for me . . . Since this is where I will probably stop with the mods.

I would really like to get this mod. But that's not a possibility at this point. Btw, what kind of oil are you using now? Infiniti switched me from Mobil 1 Synthetic 10w30 (my choice), to Mobil Synthetic 5w30.
I use the regular ole 5w30 oil. What were your results after the first oil consumption readings and how many miles do you have on your G, thus far? I trust that your G will come out this with flying colors. Please keep us posted. Good luck!
Well here is proof of a 350z with a e46 m3.

well guys if you haven’t seen my old thread about me beating a couple of E46 Ms even though it had a video to back it up there was still allot of controversy. well im back with another vid. Amidst all the controversy a member of this forum with an E46 M asked me to race him when he came back in the states. well he recently contacted me and we raced tonight. we ran a totall of 5 times. 2 from a dig which are the first races youl see and 3 from a roll. he preferred doing a roll because his car was relatively new. i obliged but we agreed to do 2 from a dig and 2 from a roll. both cars had 1 passenger. the cool thing is i had both of my cameras running. one from inside my car and one from inside his car. so we get to see both perspectives. at the moment im only going to post vids from inside my car. il post vids from inside his car later on tomorrow. the only race i think that needs to be explained on my part is the first roll on from 20 mph. i missed second gear but got it in fast enough to stay ahead. all the other races were legitimate. im pretty sure the M3 was in its fastest shifting mode (it was an SMG2). im pretty sure the owner will chime in.
