Not all mods are created equal.
I am sure different cars/people may rank them differently.
So,lets see it:

How would you rank your mods relatively?

Ranks among my own mods:

Rocks:
1, 10-wire ground
2, PIAA Super Rozza wheels
3, OEM Front Chin
4, Custom Rear Lip Spoiler
5, Blackwood Steering Wheel
6, Carbon fiber Z-tube & Z Engine Cover


OK/So-So:
1. Clear Side
2. Stillen 05 Catback
3, Tint Job
4, Aluminum Pedals
5, K&N drop-in

Sucks:
1/2" ME spacer.

Lost 0.2 second in 1/4 mile after install instantly, measured
using before & after G-timer. The max accelerating g-force went from 0.22 to 0.21g, when doing WOT at 76 mph trigering down shift.
The only saving grace is that it made my stillen a little less loud.

 

maybe u have a little too much air flow, ive seen this problem before with previous people opening air flow too much. it really doesnt help unless ur going f/i

 

love:
Borla True Dual Cat Back Exhaust
Xerd Long Tube Headers
Stillen Sway Bars
Eibach Springs

so-so:
Grounding Kit
Z-tube
Md Spacer
K&n Drop In Air Filter

review Coming Soon:
Crank Pulley
Electric Fan Conversion

Ma_sha1,
Your 2005 G35X is it a 6MT, 298HP motor? The 2005 lower plenum, for the 298HP motor, has
been redesigned. The spacer has been proven not to add any performance.

If you have the 280hp motor try resetting the ECU.
I gained 15HP and 17 FT-LB with my 1/2" spacer and Iso Thermal kit. I was shocked with the gain. You can feel it throughout the entire RPM range.

G35X doesn't have the 6MT option. He's the 280hp engine.

 

I'm quite happy with all my current mods.

Ma Sha1,

When you opened up your plenum could you tell if you had the 287 HP plenum or the Revup plenum?

Can you post a picture of the front of your plenum? All you need to do is remove the engine cover and I can tell you which it is.

 

Worthwhile mods:
3/8" Motordyne spacer
high flow cats
Z tube (just barely)
V1 radar detector with remote readout

Questionable mods:
grounding kit

 

GOOD:

Volk wheels
Stoptech Brakes
tint (gotta love privacy!)
cai = whistle is kinda cool i guess..
philip bulbs

SoSo:
Fuji exhaust (that i use to have)
tein s-tech springs
front chin spoiler that cracked on me!
plenum (didnt feel much of an increase)

 

Ive pretty much sold everything I thought wasnt great. Im happy with EVRYTHING now.

 

SoSo mods for me:
K&N drop in filter - feels same as stock filter

 

ROCKS (loving it!):
1. CarPC w/ DigitalWheelz touchscreen
2. Audio system upgrade
3. MD 3/8" Spacer w/ thermal management
4. Gordgee 10 wire 5AT hyperground kit

OK (would do again but not a top priority):
1. Alum pedals
2. Clear corners
3. White LEDs
4. Mtec Fogs
5. K&N
6. Rear view camera

SUCKS:
1. nothing so far (been very conservative with the mods)

 

Rocks:

1-GroundingGear!!! Worked magic in all 3 of my vehicles!
2-New Tires.
3-Hotchkis Sways
4-Kinetix Plenum
