Default New Owner - beginning to make mods

My car: 2005 350z 6mt non-rev touring edition

After reading the "Top 100 most common questions" thread, I've decided to start my mods with purchasing the motordyne 5/16" plenum spacer.

My first question is that there are 3 versions of the motordyne plenum spacer...just wondering if it's worth upgrading from the basic....

-basic
-iso-thermal
-copper iso

My next mod will probably be an intake. I've read that some intakes can actually diminish hp/torque gains...thoughts on what intake to purchase?

Thanks for any input

It looks like you are interested in getting better performance.

My advice, get to the track and show us some time-slips. You should ask yourself, "Can I drive my car to the max potential?" If your answer to that question is no, then modding is pointless.

Practice makes perfect.

Welcome. Some members have the basic. Others have added the gaskets. Depends on your budget I suppose.

i wish i could answer this question for you but i honestly have not done much research on this part yet, and i am sorry that so far you have not had a direct answer to your question.



modding is never pointless even if you cant drive the car well bro, the car belongs to a person and as long as that person is happy with whatever the hell they feel like doing to that car, then it be worth it

sorry just getting feed up with the amount of internet tough guys that have been responding to every thread lately


but indeed if your planning to tare up a quarter mile then indeed practice does make perfect
