Thanks for the link mod! No wonder they are so fast. Any info on IS350? I mean it can accelerate as fast as the 335i too.

I guess the G37 has the right ingredients, but the fine tuning is not enough.

I'm sure you could make it fit, but I doubt it would clear the hood plus the other problem is that it runs two throttle bodies. I'm not quite sure how you could wire it so the ECU, traction control, stability control, and ABS wouldn't flake out.

IS350 is slightly underrated (closer to 315hp) and it has some really stiff gearing. It runs real strong to about 110mph and then it gets run down hard by the 07 G sedan and coupe. That would be fine with me though because I have no need to go faster than 110mph plus I like acceleration Gs and you don't feel those at speeds over 60mph unless you've got a healthy motor under your right foot.

k guys found something interesting (not sure if it has been posted before or not),

http://www.vtec.net/articles/view-ar...icle_id=686783

Seems like the TL-S puts out around 253whp/229tq, 31whp/22tq more than a normal 6MT TL.

Someone on that site posted results of a few other cars: (http://www.vtec.net/forums/one-messa...icle_id=686783)

2008 G37 coupe 6MT: 287whp/236lbft
2007 G35 sedan 5AT:261whp/218lbft
2006 IS350 6AT: 273whp/242lbft
2007 BMW 335i 6MT: 279WHP/299lbft

It seems like the TL-S is also underrated a bit too.
