How does the sedan hookup... GurganPB??

I am taking the FI plunge and have narrowed the choice to APS and JWT. Since JWT is not available, the choice is much easier - .

How well does the sedan handle the additoinal power? My goals are 350-400 hp and tq. I just want to make sure the car can take the additonal power and put it to the ground. I intend to continue tracking the car at road course events (Autobahn, Gingerman, Road America and Blackhawk). Is this possible?

Besides the APS kit, what else is needed (tires/wheels, radiator..)?

Thank you.

Since the drivetrain is essentially the same....just a longer driveshaft....the main issue will be the tire width on the rear. Since the sedans come with a relatively narrow tire it would be highly adviseable to upgrade to a wider rim. The sedan can take a 275 width rear with no problem. A clutch is recommended as well since the stock one will eventually expire with FI.

Great. I'll search for wheel sizing (18"er's). Thanks.

I don't think Gurgen actually *drives* his car so he might not be the one to ask.

??? Not sure what you mean here. Drive it about 80 miles per day.

There is your answer, myG35ZX. Couldn't have said it better myself. You DO need to have wider wheels and better tires. A suspension upgrade for me, for example, made a huge diference. And ifyo uare on a budget and, say, can only do one suspension upgrade aside from the wheels, I'd definitely say do the sway bars, as that proed to be the greatest single handling enhancement mod; later follow it up with the coilovers.

Gurgen, I was kidding. You do have to admit that your car (and mine) has seen its fair share of down time and troubleshooting time.
