IMO I don't think the 3.9 will help much with 1/4 mile unless you have a raised rev limiter. So far people generally say it gives you a higher trap speed by 2mph, but no faster ETA

Well then they probobly arent launching as well as they were before. Think about it if you can trap 2mph higher with the same launch and conditions as before the FD you will be faster....

tdiddy-

Why don't you get the Z and drive it for a while first before you start planning to change it? I mean, how can you know what to change if you have not even seen what it can do in stock form yet? Also keep gas prices in mind. In stock form, the cars can average about 22mpg or so, depending on how you drive. The faster you make it go, the worse the mileage will be. They run on premium fuel also, which is about $3.00/ga as of now.

My suggestion is drive it for a while, then see what areas you would like to improve it before you start blowing money on it without ever knowing.

What wizdumb said. Drive the 350Z first, and I believe that you’ll be able to answer your questions yourself.
