How much boost your running? If below 9psi, then boost it up to 9 and get it retuned.

Your next mod IMO should be the AAM or CJM Fuel return. It won't add more power, but it will give you more safety. If you build your motor you will need anyway.

I would say that it is a requirement and not an option with the greddy TT kit but that's just me.. not trying to open a whole new can of worms

I wouldn't even hesitate getting a return fuel system, then retune for 8-9psi.

want it to be faster? lose some weight (the car, not you ). CF hatch with lexan window is good for ~70 lbs or so i'm told.

70?
no more like 35 lbs

besides, losing weight from the rear of this car is kinda counterproductive for handling

huh - rickdogg (who has the hatch and lexan window) says 65lbs.

as far as the balance goes, i doubt it will have a major impact (especially if coupled with a lightweight battery). that weight is carried high, so losing some also drops the CoG, making everything else work better - tire load is more evenly balanced, less pitch and roll for the suspension to deal with, etc. i'm guessing its a still a net plus for all performance measurements - handling, accel, and braking. course, that's just a guess. maybe next year

With the turbo kit adding the weight it does to the front, then combining that with even lighter rear (if you already have spare and jack removed) probably will upset handling some. If you want to save weight I would say get a lightweight battery and possibly some seats.

As far as power is concerned I would say return fuel system, thats my next step in the process at least.

Another vote goes to the return fuel system. Get that and retune to the car and up the boost. Upping the boost does the same as adding a new performance mod... except in most case its a cheaper way to add more hp.

Yea, but you wouldn't realize what it takes to make those hoses. Once you learn all the processes that go into making the hoses you will see why they are so expensive. Then you have to pay for all the R&D that went into the making of the fuel system, esp. for the 350z.

I'd look into the CJM kit first.
