Man, I need to get down to SGP this spring for a UTEC install. I'm making 20+ more hp than you, but at almost double the psi. The only thing you have that I don't are dumps. I should have shipped the car there in the first place

That is going to end up being SGP's motto/slogan. LOL.

You live, you learn. I spoke with Mark earlier about doing some nifty little upgrades this spring which should get me much closer to my hp goals

Jorge, congrats on getting the car back and what looks to be an outstanding setup and tune. Those are just awesome numbers at 8psi and the sound from those tubes is heaven. Best of luck to ya and stay safe. We gotta get together some time when you're up this way or I'm down in Miami.

I'm planning to retune my car this friday if I get the last parts in time, and then do a photoshoot sometime next week. Let me know if your not busy late next week.

Thanks everyone.

Mark knows how I beat my car and he didn't want to push it anymore using the EU. He could have got more, but since I have a 100lb right foot he didn't go overly aggressive to keep it reliable. If I would have bought the HKS V-Pro it would have been a different story.....maybe in the future. He did install RC 750's instead of 650's so all I need is a better EMS. Right now I am happy. Maybe AEM or some other company will come out with a full standalone not as expensive as a full HKS set up. I've already spent more money than I really wanted to. Maybe I'll get a UTEC after it has all the upgraded features they are planning on.

1. Boost controller off @5.5psi 380whp.
2. Low boost @8psi 480whp.
3. High boost @10psi 519whp.

Stock 6MT gears. I do have the rev limiter raised to 7100, but I was still shifting at 6600 rpm's. My torque didn't drop like a lot of motors past 6500rpm's, but it stayed pretty flat. Since I am not make more tq at that point I am going to start shifting at peak tq which was like 6200 rpm's.

Sounds good. I will be in the Orlando area on 03/04 at Lokey Infiniti for the yearly Florida G35 club meet. I don't how far you are from Lokey, but stop by if you're free and it's not to far. I would love to see your ride in person and take a spin. I've never ridden in a 5AT TT Z/G.

Make sure to ask for the SGP cooling mod upgrades. Here is a picture of my temp gauge after that highway run. Granted it was 50 degrees outside, but that sucker didn't budge 1 tick mark after that beating and I had already been driving for 8 hours non stop other than gas and bathroom stops. It's going to work great for me cause we usually don't see anything colder than 70 during the winter in Miami. Most the time it's in the 80's in the winter. It was 87 degrees today.

Default A few other things

1. The car runs so smooth you would think it came like this from Infiniti.
2. I don't have a CEL light anymore. My CEL light was light for a year and half until now. I don't know what SGP did, but it's gone. I hope that ***** never comes back on.

I forgot to ask Mark to email me my dyno charts today. I will call him tomorrow and post the graphs.

They add a breather tank and modify some of the cooling system components. What they modify and what they do I don't know. I just gave them my credit card and told them to do what they do.
