Anytime you run your A/C it cuts down your power. You obviously can't reach your net increase with the A/C running. First time i heard someone run the A/C while doing a dyne lol Why would you run the A/C while doing a dyno test lol
Well, this wasn't confirmed.

Running anything such as lights, sound system will cut your power. For optimal dyno test. Turn it all off

I figured I'd chime in. I have an '04 coupe 6mt with only 44k miles on it. Based on what most folks state as average ~228whp/~230ft lbs torque range for this car from the factory, I have installed a K&N Typhoon CAI, MD 5/16 Isothermal spacer, MD MREV2 lower collector, Berke HFCs, and Borla catback dual exhaust. Keep in mind, after a certain point of engine break-in, the higher the mileage the more incremental HP is lost due to internal engine wear.

Bolt-ons before tune = 263whp/243ft lbs torque
Bolt-ons after Osiris tune = 270whp/249ft lbs torque

Osirius tune alone yields ~7whp
Dynoed at UpRev using a Dynojet.

Off the top of my head, the only other things that I could possibly install without going FI, would be a larger throttle body and headers (which are a pita to install).

Damn I wondered why you got a few more HP than me but I forgot you have a revup and the MREV2. That explains why. You a big balla with 270/249.

Handling/brake mods, that's a different story.
I agree. The reason I became interested in the G35 back in 2003 was because of the (at the time) phenomenal amount of power Infiniti was getting out of such a small-displacement, normally aspirated engine.

Stupid me bought the car thinking it was like any Mustang or Camaro and I could expect to upgrade intake, exhaust, cams and find an additional 50-75 horsepower. I was quickly disappointed, but I should have known better to begin with. Infiniti engineers spent their time in physics class studying. Ford and Chevy engineers from the late 90's spent their time in class making paper airplanes and lighting their farts on fire.

All the "low hanging fruit" has already been picked by Infiniti's engineers.

270whp is really on the high side for a non-revup, but nice numbers nonetheless.

Damn you're right. I always think he has an 05 for some reason, sad because he lives about 5 minutes from me and is a good friend. Maybe I need an MREV2............

Yep, yep but all of our tuning is done at UpRev so there's no questioning the numbers.

Do you really think that with my mods just adding an MREV2 will add over 10 HP? Remember I'm a non-revup.

that dyno graph looks wierd like they were on and off the gas or something. should be a smoothish line not all over the place. stock afr's are around 11-11.5 under full load. alot of parts dont work that well on your car without a tune and you will have to do one to get the full gains out of them. i would try a different shop though.

Well the first dyno run, I wasn't there. The second(which is smoother looking) I was there for. The weird thing is, after all my mods, my afr ratio went down slightly. I think the dam AC was on lol. Who knows. I got rid of the exhaust and hfc anyway so I don't care anymore.
