Default Sponsors, Please help. All this research and im still confused.

Ok, it seems like every post I read, makes me even more confused then the post prior to it.
I have an 05 35th w/ Rev-up motor. I have purchased an AEM cold air intake(installed), Injen SES exhaust(installed), MD MREV+(not installed), Strup Headers(not installed), UTR test pipes(not installed). After reading through all of the posts. I am afraid that when i put all of this crap together my car will be even slower than stock.
Does anyone know, prefferably sponsors, if this will be a good setup once it is all installed. Or, Am I going to be stuck with No bottom end, due to CAI, Alot of mid range, and no top end. Because of the 287 lower plenum.
I just fell like selling all that other stuff, and getting a Turbonetics kit.

Sponsors Please Help

Well I'm not a sponsor or anything, but seriously if you want real power, you might as well just get the turbonectics. Maybe you'll get a little kick ouit of the I/H/E, but trust me nothing beats the power of a turbo, or just boost in general

on overall driving feel there isnt much that beats a finely tuned n/a engine... check out battle at 10,000rpm (best motoring) then you will know why top tuners overseas stay n/a

The bolt-ons that you mentioned will add peak torque and horsepower. Both curves will also change. What they will look like is an educated guess. I suggest that you complete the mods, and run a dyno. If you are not pleased with the results - time for a tune-up.

Besides we have 350Zs with similar set-ups posting better than 13.60 second ET time slips on DOT tires. That sure is better than a stock Z.

as mentioned above, those mods will most likely add peak torque and horsepower.

I suggest you to get a tune after installing the mods..

Put all that stuff on and you will definitly have a faster Z.

And then you would still be open to getting the TN with everything but the CAI and test pipes. The CAI and Test pipes dont cost much either so its not a big loss to take them off if you decide to go FI.

Most of the sponsors have more experience than the members. Im not saying that none of the members know anything, its just that there are alot of people that are posting there opinion without actual experience.

Ok, let me rephrase, Experienced members and Sponsors. Please Help.

What is the best way to go in terms of tuning. UTEC, Emanage, Technosquare reflash. etc. another tough question. I would think emanage just because it is cheap and gets the job done. But then again, If i knew waht to do, i wouldnt have created this post.

I could not figure that out either. If I recommend the pop charger for example, I have no vested interest in whether the members buys or does not. On the other hand, sponsors generally have a solution, which amazingly, they sell.
