That would be mostly appreciated. I have no problems with doing research on my own (heck I just learned yesterday that I can roll my windows down with my remote and I can leave my lights on when I get out of my car if I want. LOL), I just need to be pointed in the right direction. You da man!

I also figured out how to open up the trunk without my fob on my own. I was worried about what would happen if I lost the fob, so I searched high and low for a plan B.

One thing to think about is... Is 50HP really worth the cost of going FI? Personally, I would invest in supporting mods to do it right the first time and get better numbers out of the kit.

Here is a good start. This thread is informative but it is a little old.
https://my350z.com/forum/forced-indu...questions.html

This is a local with a CARB Vortech that was installed by ZCAR Garage in San Jose.
https://my350z.com/forum/forced-indu...ech-build.html

This is what I got when I searched the 350Z FI Section using key words “Vortech CARB”. Go through a few of the pages and see what thread titles catch your eye and do a little reading
https://my350z.com/forum/search.php?searchid=14881850


Im still at work but will take a look at Stillen. The other thing you can do is look at the manufacturers web site to see what they claim in regards to CARB & California.

Thanks a gazillion! #1 was a brain overload read but I sub'd #2. I see that there is much more involved in this than I originally thought and I figured gaining 50 HP would be pennies compared to gaining 100's. Guess i was wrong.

dont waste your money on a stillen kit, the sad truth is my car how it sits would either be dead even or only a fender behind a stillen Z..

buy a vortech kit

or do a greddy 20G kit, maybe a nice ST?

id personally just spray!
