it will get you more power and smooth out the power curve... but you wont break 300hp or anything

what it mostly does is correct the air/fuel ratios and tunes your car for power instead of economy

in my experience in tuning and dealing with N/A and F/I...supposedly these 350z's are relative to s2000's in terms of getting pretty maxed out in power out of the box.. 350z's make more HP per mod though. But the z's and s's header's/header are the same in terms of not really increasing good power compared to the cost.

although, the tune AFTER those mods you mentioned does net you good power on the z's supposedly. i have yet to find out, so i can't say first hand.. but folks that have done bolt on's and have gone through lets say, the uprev or technosquare has gotten gains from it.. more so on the butt-dyno but actually has on the real one as well...

is it worth it? i would say so. Just because after those mods, you would want to take advantage of it all, and the ecu always fights back because it has a set target a/f rate that it tries to follow and once you can crack the eprom and tamper with the ROM, it becomes readable and writeable. That's where you gain most benefits.

I was taking a look at some pics of your car and I was like "those parts look so familiar!" Do you ever go backroad/twisty hunting with them? We usually meet up when it gets warmer. I wanna check out this beast S2k.

I can honestly say... when it comes to performance mods on the Z, i would be happy with like a borla exhaust and resonated TP's or maybe HKS or something..

JUST SO I CAN DROWN OUT THE RATTLING HAHAHA

This car sounds wonderful with those exhausts!!!
