To All my VQ35HR buddies
Whats our mod that actually makes a noticeable difference, I'm not loolkg for 10hp at red line, more torque lower to help me pull out out turns with authority. Wheres a good place to start. Thanks!

I know search is best, but no luck. So HFC and exhaust will gain best results to create torque at low rpm level?

^^ yea not so much when it comes to pulling out of turns, or anything that has the word "turn" in it

I have an exhaust and K&N drop in and I pulled on my buddies Nismo...I would say the cheapest way about it would be an exhaust and K&N...

Do you intend on pursuing more power or be happy with 10whp more? If you're just looking to do one mod, get a flash and call it a day. If you're looking to get more then one mod, start with exhaust and go from there.

^ definitely. And wanting 10 more WHP but low end torque presents a problem as the most effective mods for WHP gain for the price (hfc/tp) will cause low end torque loss. I gained maybe 2.2 whp from the K&N drop but had it tuned right afterwards... and gained more low end torque from the tune/reflash than any of my mods.
Sounds like brady's advice might be the best if this is all you want. But, it's not

K&N drop-ins, test pipes, exhaust, and UPREV tune. That's probably about all the power youre going to get without going FI.

Better than stock but I will agree they are pretty much useless.
