BoostedG - What meth injection kit are you looking at? Did Sam recommend a certain kit? After viewing some recent threads and doing some research, it looks like meth injection is definitely going to be one of my next upgrades. It also seems like some of the other F/I members on this forum are taking interest in meth injection as well. I can't name them off the top of my head(Sharif?...) but I know some my350z members are already seeing some great results with meth injection?

I dont want to keep taking this thread off course....Great job on the tuning and thanks for sharing the dyno's!

George - I kinda aimed my praises towards Sam himself but I know you and the rest of the GTM staff and technicians are as dedicated and work just as hard as Sam does on every GTM car. Keep up the good work and hopefully we get some updates on your ride soon.

Dsport G35, I am not sure which methanol kit Sam was referring to. I was so excited after test driving the car. I didn't bother to ask. I sure George or one of the GTM crew will speak up about what they recommend.

Sam, nice work. With full control over the car with FCON Vpro, the dyno chart looks nice and smooth, and I am sure it feels terrific. Nice work, as usual!

Every time I take off from a stop I keep wondering what happened to the cars next me, until I look into the rear-view mirror and realize I'm doing 80mph in a 40mph zone. It's definitely time for the BBK upgrade.
first of congrats.. and i would like to echo your feelings on the VPro.. i find myself crusing at 80 mph also.. ever very smooth.. as i said before its so smooth.. its feels slower than 100whp less with a UTEC.. when i accelerate .. its smooth the only reason i know i am going so fast is i look down after i get off the gas and the needle is slowing down at 130 mph

That's sort of my first impression with it as well. It felt much more smooth and I actually got better traction with more hp
