G35 Mods For HP Gains...
Ok so I'm kind of giving into the "mod bug"! I know I said I wasn't going to. Cars own me... I've searched the threads and pretty much know what I need, but wanted to throw this out there to get any other feedback from seasoned G35 owners...
SO, I put a Stillen CAI + Z-Tube on my 04' Coupe (it's a 5AT), and just ordered a Motordyne 5/16" spacer w/ the copper - I'm hoping the spacer adds a little more "growl" and some hp boost? From what I've read it will.
The question now is what other practical mods would someone recommend to get up to about 300hp? I'll do true duals, and when I say practical I mean mods that won't adversely compromise my engine/car's reliability. Nothing too radical, so short of a supercharger/turbos/turbo...? I'm not a 'street racer', and don't take my car to the track, this is purely for an everyday driver.
Or, should I stop now - is there a threshold you cross in which one too many mods will start 'killing' your car?
happy Friday all!
