Cobb is a well respected in other auto communties and they've got my respect because they don't sell things that don't work. They've admitted that even their own prototype G/Z intakes don't do squat for these cars and actually hurt performance and the same goes for all the other aftermarket intakes they've tested on these cars. That gains my respect when a company actually tests their owns products and reports that they don't work therefore they won't offer the part.

^Long story
Well my car still has some damn small problems, I have it at a second shop where they are fixing them from the first horrible shop. Its having some toruble with low boost but it did great on the dyno with high boost (they found out about the problems after the dyno) It dynoed at 380 rwhp

The 6MT is pretty strong. The issue is the clutch. In order to hold 300whp+ for the long term, you're going to have to deal a heavy, quick catching, and loud tranny.

Can you run a stall speed torque converter for your tranny?
can you add a tranny-fluid cooler to the 5AT?

Then I'd have the 5AT rebuilt with the components (bands, clutches, etc) from the Titan/Armada 5AT, which is the same tranny, just heavier duty and can handle that type of load. Everyone says, "get a valvebody", which is absolutely silly because the VB has nothing to do with increasing the strength of the tranny.

My buddy has an R32 Skyline GTS-T and his clutch sounds exactly like what you are describing; basically an on-off switch, it's hard to get used to but after a while its not so bad.
anyone on here know a DIY for clutch install? I'd hate to pay someone $1000 to install a $300 part (if that)

Also, has this guy said how much it cost yet for the sts kit? What mods were necessary to the kit? (I only see one for the 350z on their site).

The kit for me was $5100 out the door with the gauge pod an gauges.
I finally got my dyno sheet I will post it up today and I ended with 383 rwhp.
