wOW. Im still a bit shocked
IM trying to race a buddy who has a g35x Sedan..
Hes running at, what we all know, 260 HP DOHC Engine V6
W/ AWD.
What bothers me is his car is 200 pounds more then a Type S
Has a 6200 RPM Redline vs. A Type S 6900 RPM
And he still beats the TL S In a 0-60 Mph race.
WHat do I need to have installed to beat a stock g35x

Well, his car is more geared for performance. The AWD helps with launches.
CAI and a 6 speed manual swap from a CL?

a higher redline doesnt mean more power...
also the G35 has more torque than a type-S.
headers should get you pretty much even or maybe in front of a g35.

It's a cooling unit that helps cool down the intake charge on forced inductioned cars.
