ive put a z-tube in and also gotten an exhaust what are the next couple performance parts i should put on my g?

 

Motordyne plenum spacer(if you have a revup get MREV2 as well). ART pipes, sway bars. Osiris tune.

 

For power, get the MREV2 if you have a manual, just a spacer if you have auto. HFCs would be next on my list, but I'd leave the cats to stay street legal. Get tuned with the Osiris, and get a 100 octane map made while you are at it. I'd say a good short shifter should be mandatory if you have a manual, along with a heavier clutch and lightweight flywheel. A higher final drive ratio will help with the acceleration whether you have auto or manual, and almost any kind of LSD would be better than the one that comes with the G. If you have an auto, I'd suggest the TransGo valve body upgrade kit for your transmission. As for handling, sway bars are a must, good struts would be next, and tie bars would be the least you'd want to tighten the chassis.

 

Even the sedan pilots....^.... get it right once in a while!

Kinda hard to argue with a man that knowlegeable. Kudos to him.

 

Agrees with dofu man got KNOWLEDGE, but from the ground up suspension should also be taken care of, in the long run you will get the best bang for your money since you have done the other two

 

Don't forget a crank pulley. That will free up some HP

 

I completely agree, suspension should be taken care of if you want to go fast either through the turns or off the line. Your suspension is all about better traction, and without it, your car goes nowhere.Without proper traction in the straights, your car will just spin the wheels, and without a proper distribution of traction to the right wheels in a turn, your car will turn like a bus. This is why I mentioned struts, not springs. Notice how I never mentioned anything about good tires - because they are what physically binds your car to the road, they should always be the first thing you'd want to upgrade for better performance at all.

There has been a bit of debate about the crank pulley with the VQ motors as some say the crank pulley will throw off the Harmonic Balancer. I don't have any personal experience with this as I've never cared for the minimal gains you can get from this.

 

^ Agree with your point about the crank pulley

 

I hope not b/c i just got it on my G. So far it's working great. I only notice a little bit more responsive out of it.

 

Just ordered the Fast Intentions Carbon Fiber CB exhaust w/ 12'' resonators and upgraded X-Pipe!

 

So does the Transgo do anything for my G? Its a 05 g35x sedan 5AT if its a shift kit how will it benefit me?

 

A good valve body upgrade like the TransGo will make your car shift faster and better, which means a world of a difference when you put it into manual mode.

 

Ohhhh okay is there that much of a difference? Also it shoudlnt make a difference for install eve though mine is AWD right? Why do people say the install is so pricey? Is it a PITA?

 

I only know what I've heard, and yes, the install sucks since you need to rip apart the tranny to install it. Here is a lot of info on the TransGo. Happy reading!
