Thats what I used.
This is what I would have done if my car wasnt already at ZCG! I would have saved a bundle!

Dustin no longer sells these intake maf pipes. I was going to buy a bulk order because no one would get in the group buy just so I can get my hands on one and resell the rest. But his connection fell through at this time. Hoping he can get them made in future.

that maf pipe is not complicated at all either. any exhaust shop worth a sh-t could make it for you for WAYYY cheaper. MAF bungs are readily available from GTM, VTR, SFR, etc....

91 octane. I decided to delete the 100 octane map becuase it was PIA to do 100 exclusive. I do have a 95 map but only gained +15hp & +0.5tq.

I have some questions, hope you guys an help me out.
350z. -2005 mods
V2 full vortech kit
kinetix intake pletnum
edge test pipes with resonators
full stillen 2.5 cat back exhaust.
now I'm about to upgrade the pulley to a 3.12 but I know my stock injectors will be max out so I decided to buy some 600cc, talk to the guy who's gonna tune my car he said he wants to tune it with uprev(Osiris) but my question is would my stock pump and the external fuel pump be enough.? I'm not planing on going over 400whp since my block is stock.

^ You should get a better flowing fuel pump, but regardless, why not just upgrade to the Walbro 255 for the peace of mind, it's only 75 bucks...

that's means I'm gonna have to take out the external fuel pump and the Split sec box and just let shop tune it with uprev. right? is it hard to change the fuel pump?

Great results. Have you taken your car to the track and have you ever thought about upgrading to the 3.12 Vortech pulley?

It seems like the overall census is that the stock block can handle 400wtq at most. Are you going to push it to the limits on your next tune? Also how many miles do you have on your stock block.

I haven't tracked my car yet. Hoping to drag next month to get time slip.

My tuner did try the 3.12, but he advised I stick with 3.25. I'm also retuning my 95 octane map next month so the outcome will determind if I push the 91 map.

Infiniti replaced my engine because of an OC issue. I have 35K on the new engine and have been boosted for over 9k miles now.

I'm going to try to get my car dyno'd on a mustang dyno to compare. I will update when that happens.

Nice, that's the next exhaust I want to get. Can you post a video clip of it? Also want to see your mustang dyno results when you get them.

One excellent job. Excellent for anybody to follow and do to their cars. I did same pretty much, except I have the controller under the dash on right side. Did it the minute I got my Vortech S/C setup with ZCargarage.
