oh god.

 

hey i have a question. why is it that everywhere you post, you have to say that you gained 17whp and 10wtq? i'm not trying to be a jackass or anything. just curious. i kno u must be proud (i would b too) but damn give it a rest.

 

oh yea to the original poster. if you want big gains then save up for FI.. you can get a few things with 800 that'll get you a decent amount of power (popcharger, spacers, etc)

 

He's just trying to prove that N/A gains can be made, and relatively cheaply. He proved it with dyno runs. Obviously the OP is asking for advice about how to make a difference with $800. So get off his case.

 

i wasn't trying to get ON his case. get off my case.. and to Robert K.. i really did not mean to say anything negative to you personally. if i did, i apologize. i was just expressing my opinion - i'm tired of seeing that "i gained ... !!!!"

 

I gained 18 whp and 11 wtq. that's better than robert k's bolt ons.

 

haha cute........................................................ ..

 

As stated before, I just trying to show newbies that N/A gains can be made. I feel to many people push F/I too much. While I agree F/I make awesome gains, it not always what everyone wants. Also most of the F/I guys making 500+whp are drag racers and not road races. 500whp is a bit much for a road course, IMO.
Also I didn't take anything personal. I understand your tired of maybe seeing my post about my gains but I'm tired of seeing newbies make post such as this or the PopCharger ones. I did about three months of research of the forum and saved. I also did a baseline dyno which I highly recommend. Too many modder just start modding and get disappointed when they dyno after modding. If they would see their gains I think they would happier.

 

I happened to attend HIM last weekend and wanted to say that the remark about the 500+ HP cars being drag racers is just not true. Most of the cars there (Including the 460+ HP 350z I drove) were actually set up as either street or track cars. I didnt find one that was a drag car. I do agree with your statement on the N/A mods. They can make gains...just not much. If you are looking for over 40hp total gains...you HAVE to go with either motor builds or FI. No ammount of intakes or exhausts will bump you up above that initial hurdle. I recommend saving the funds man. If you want to go looks...so be it. Get yourself a respectable lip kit or some rims. If you decide power becomes an option...think about cams and a tune. That would be a good middle option between now and full F/I setup. Also, once you have cams and a tune, you will notice larger gains from following mods such as exhaust.

 

Good to know you didn't take it personally. I respect your willingness to help others too. I would be tired too, if I had done 3 months of research to find the perfect (at least close to it) combination of bolt-ons for the most gain and saw all these newbies asking the same questions over and over again. Now that I know where you're coming from, I feel like a jackhole. I apologize for my previous posts.
