Lack of power
Hey guys..
I have 2004 MT 350Z with greddy evo2 exhaust, headers, lightweight flywheel, jwt clutch, aem cold air intake and kinetix ssv intake manifold..
I bought the car with those mods on it .. But it feels a lack of power.. Like when i try racing my friend's stock 350z... I lose with a car in difference..
My garage told me that i should remove the kinetix manifold..
What do u think ? I know there's a lot of threads about this kinetix manifold.. But please any advice???

Get a tune or return the car to stock. Bolting on aftermarket parts alone does not make for a faster car.
Also, keep in mind that wheels, tires, weight of vehicle and occupants, and driver ability make more of a difference in performance than bolt-on breather mods. For example, if you have heavy aftermarket 19" wheels, poor traction, a subwoofer box, and you weigh 100 pounds more than your buddy, his car may still be faster even with a tune.
Also, please keep the childish "kiss my ..." comments out of here. There is no need for that. The post asking if you know how to shift is a valid question, since one driver being better at shifting than the other is the most probable reason behind a noticeable difference between two similar cars. There's no reason to get butthurt and act like an Internet tough guy.

With the intake and exhaust mods, I'm guessing you're running lean. Get it tuned.
I agree with everything Sparkles said (sarcasm mod is not sarcastic).
To add: no two cars are the exact same - identical year, trim and mods do not guarantee identical gains.
EDIT - some solutions may be even more simplistic:
Gas, air filter, spark plugs, tire pressure (etc.)...
Numerous "small" issues can create a large difference.
