Don't get me wrong! I'm just skeptical about how much good the chip does after you do everything else. Basically, your first setup before a chip, and then after a chip. That's what I would like to see.
Because if you did if you go to the link, the two G's that don't have a chip are pushing 260 whp, so if they have your good experience they should be pushing more like 270 with a chip. Unless someone screwed up and forgot to add it to the list of mods.
I'm running a Z tube, Stillen air box, and a 5/16 will be next. Then I am looking at exhaust. Just looking for now until I learn more about exhaust as well as reflashes or piggy-backs.

The only problem with adding an EMS is the cost of the unit and the Tune. If I'm not mistaken there is a Dyno of someone in My350z that did gained 15WHP with only ZTube/K&N filter and Utec (with aggressive Tune).

I have no doubt a chip will increase hp/tq. It's already a proven fact.
Know a guy who running one on his G. Yeah more hp/tq across the entire span and about 15-18 mpg tops (in granny mode).
I just get bothered with ppl who claim excessive gains (300+ hp and still only NA), said they dyno'ed and won't post results/proof of what they claim.

In order to get 300+ wheel horsepower out of a N/A G35.... especially in an Auto tranny(more parasitic drivetrain loss in the Auto Tranny than the 6MT), you'd need to either go forced induction or at least go with aftermarket cams and a mostly built motor(higher compression pistons, etc) in addition to the other mods you already have.
A stock Auto 04 Coupe usually gets somewhere around 215 to 230 or so WHP. A 6MT gets anywhere from 225 to real low 240's for WHP according to most dynos.
To expect to gain 80 WHP from a N/A engine that is already highly tuned from the factory by just doing breathing mods, a set of pulleys, and an ECU tune is highly unrealistic. My guess is that you're probably at around 250 to 260 WHP max with your current mods.

I have everything rev-up motor, PULLEY, MREV+, Intake, HEADERS, Cats, dual exhaust, UTEC and TUNED (by Turbo SX) and I only made 285hp to the wheel on DYNO-PACK....
I mean, that's GOTTA be close to the price of low end FI, right?
Is Jtrain going to provide a sheet? I'm sure he's a little embarassed about the whole situation. Oh well.. if he's lying he's lying. However, I don't think he's lying.. I just think that he misread the sheet and is afraid to admit it.

Right? Wrong? Crazy?
The trade off is not always the same. Better breathing can yield more power and might even gain 1 mpg because of it.
So I am not sure the programming can not be tweaked to only offer power under demand. For example, the limited Technosquare flash which only raises the rev limit, and opens the throttle max at WOT.
i have full catback exhaust, test pipes from fast intentions, 5/16 spacer, ztube and k&n drop filter. Had a dyno done and got a constant 236 to 239 rwhp. I put up the dynos to prove that fact. I have a 5AT 04 coupe.
Reading through this thread and still not seeing a dyno from this guy just proves that facts.

Not trying to be a d!ck, but am I missing something here? It seems like everything you added should have made a decent increase, but it doesn't bear out against the numbers in the file. Maybe the dynos were different - the one in SoCal being optimistic, yours pessimistic?
