every intake comp will have two pipes, the engine has two TB's....what kind of comment was that>? i feel like im taking crazy pills.


NA mods on most sports cars these days do very little. most sports cars from the factory these days are pretty decent breathers so the typical bolt ons do very little. IHE will cost u about 2k and give u maybe 20 ish hp. is that worth it?

u said u wanted top spend 5k on hp wheels and tires, that depends on what wheels and tires u want bc a set of wheels will go from 1k to even 5k if ur a "baller"....whatever that is. so it may not leave u much to spend on hp.


id say spend the 5k on : suspension, a set of real brake pads, and tires. u will benefit the most from that.

if 330 hp bores u and u want hp mods then ur gonna need to save way more for a real FI kit and itll be a lil bit of time b4 a great setup comes out so ull have time to save for it.


call it 1500 for real coilovers, 1200 for real tires, and 400 for real pads front and rear....added to a G37 and thatd be one great car.

u wont feel the 20hp u get after 3k in mods but u will be amazed at the difference chassis work can do. thats where oems hold back the most to obtain a soft ride bc americans are pussies

good luck with it, hope u get the manual trans
