Friday night a manual 350z with exhaust and wheels was making noise just ahead, so I creeped up to him after a few lights. He gave me a nod and I burried the peddle in full auto. Few seconds later after lots of noise we're going neck and neck @ 70mph and I let off cause my wife was starting to...

because of the combination of everything it makes a very noticeable difference especially at speed (40+) and very loud on throttle. If there is any lose it is overcome easily throught the combination

In terms of it being pretty - the ugly is under the car - could have paint it but why its under the car and its plastic and its exposed to the elements. What I was after was the biggest gulp of cold air possible. Eventually I will replace the intake tube with an aluminum piece(currently...

In terms of tires they went on very easily - I know - I mounted and balanced them myself. They made a very noticeable difference in handling and traction. The downside speedo was off till recalibrated. Just yesterday I bought 4 Michelin all season sports - size - 255/45r17 - back to original...

Yes, I did paint it black. Nothing special just spray paint. Clean light sanding and 5-7 coats very light

At Walmart I saw a self adhesive led strip 15 inches long and thought that would be a good idea but I have the black sealant headlights-they look something like these: http://www.starceiling.co.uk/led-rigid-strip.html

1)Just a cone filter, cut maf from air box. 2)pulled throttlebody and neck, polished neck and cut-off pertruding butterfly screws. 3)Cut off noise supressors. 4)made an air box and some ducting to direct fresh air to the box. 828509363[/ATTACH]"] 828509365[/ATTACH]"]

Thanx guys

828509355[/ATTACH]"] The only thing not stock externally is tire size, I run 275/40 17 Falken 452's awsome tires but speedo had to be reprogrammed.

Checkmate no way I imagined that kind of pricing Cant blame a guy for trying, not to sayt he hole concept is a waste

what I question the most is volumetric efficiency tb 65mm and the intake opening being sooo large talk about slowing down the velocity-I almost certain tha once the flow gets past the tb into the elbow there is a loss due to the tumbling effect created by such a large opening, there is not even...

Googled the tb cleaning issue and it seams ford does have a tb cleaner that is safe - the ill affects seem to come from damage to the sensor particularly the iac and or egr- a good point was brought up, what about vehicles like the mustang that have aftermarket tb's, they dont have coating Now...

The thought is not that the spacers themselves would add any power but the additional intake volume along with a larger tb(better breathing) and proper tune and cooling in combination would have a posiyive affect--I figure worst case I would be moving the torque curve to the left of the graph...
