putting 200hp more into the car doesn't makes me a better driver, maybe

nothing to blame with who spend money on a TT setup, but I still have to see a TT setup on a 350z, not owned by a shop or where the money spent couldn't give you a 997 gt3 that is running in a reliable way around a track.

those "power mods" are to me ways to make the car lighter, that's it. I'm not chasing 300whp or 320whp, that wouldn't make any difference if you don't know how to handle 300hp around the corners. Unless your only driving ambitions are to bust a viper at a stop light.

mine are being in the fastest around a track, any track... that's it. this tune (if you check the A/F ratio) isn't for power, is for a "cool" running engine.

again, I don't want to say that driving around corners is better than flooring the pedal on a straight line... but IMHO a 350z is way more rewarding for the first job than for the second. for the second I'll just pick an american muscle, with a shitload of displacement and add the twins... or a supra.

but anyone has the right to has his own taste. somebody likes the taco, somebody the sausage.

I really want a set of CHEAP 17" wheels so I can snag some of the RE-01R's that tirerack has on closeout for almost nothing.
