Vortech SC 425+

Sorry for the incorrect info everyone.
the vortech looks liek the simplest setup. Most times...simple kisks *** when it comes to living with a daily driver!!.
and if you are looking for mid 12s, just put a nice nitrous kit with a 150 shot on it. That should do it......on street tires. With drag radials or better, you should be able to hit mid 12s on a 100 shot.
There are G35 owners hitting over 110 mph traps speeds with a 100 shot and the basic intake and exhaust mods. Definately the best solution for a daily driver!

When to the source on this one. Turbonetics said the kit for the 05 6MT will be available in the next few months with a different part number. Apparently the 05 6MT's motor sits a 1" or 2" off from the 03/04's. You can make the 03 kit fit but you'll have some clearance issues with the pipes. Seems like I’ll have to hold my horses for a few months UNLESS anyone has placed the 03' kit on a 05'. (Some1 Please Say Yes
!!) If not I'll enjoy the wait (not really though) cause time = money = more parts. In 2/3 months I can get the kit plus the AAM spec fuel system, 440cc or 510 cc injectors and a new clutch/flywheel. Then I’ll be ready for 425+.Thanks again for all the posts. I'm learning more about FI for my G35 everyday. I should have become a mechanic rather than a computer nerd. Cars are more fun then computers any day!

The best exhaust is your own custom exhaust. Go to your local muffler/exhaust shop and ask em for a quote. A 3 inch pipe directly from the downpipe, back, into a muffler. The less bends, the lesser back pressure. The lesser the back pressure, the more hp/tq

Just as an FYI, everyone of these people had the ARP head bolts and they did not re-torque them as the installation instructions state you should.
Yeh...Sharif ...I believe said if he goes over 16psi he gets head lift . But with the SC that peak preasure isnt reached till right before red line . So I dont think it will be a problem . Most guys arent going for that high of boost any way , so the stock gasket should be good enough
