Check your spark plugs!!
Pulled the plugs from a 2006 350z today, BONE STOCK with 44K miles on it before getting an Osiris tune, had a big shock when we looked at the plugs! He ended up putting down 258whp with only a K&N filter, said it felt like he was in a whole new car!
Nissan says 100K miles between spark plugs but I've never seen one last that long... Rich at Uprev said he "always quotes customers 15-25k miles between plug changes depending on how they drive and if they are FI. A simple change of the spark plugs to factory fresh NGK plugs is good for 3whp on an NA car."
WOW. All I can say is if you haven't gotten tuned you should :icon9:

Sound advice...
Also considering the experience I just had. Bought the car used and it had the wrong plugs with the wrong gap the whole time I've been driving it since... about 20k in a year and a half.

Wow, that's some build up for 44k!
So is AutoZone @ $9.99 ea about the best deal in the area for the NGK Laser Plat.? If anybody knows or has a better deal please let me know, Thanks!
Thanks for the Reminder Joe, I was all set to do the plugs a while back and I guess it slipped my mind with all the house stuff I have been doing.

The only things left to do that could possibly improve my MPG is differential fluid and the spark plugs. Hopefully its one of this issues. Or maybe I have leaky valve covers. Guess I'll find out when I check the plugs. It just never ends with this car..
