Thanks man, I still don't know what kind of power it's putting down .. I'm guessing like 230whp.. but it's enough to put a smile on my face at least once a day .

Have you dyno'd your car yet?

Not yet but I want to. I'd assume I have somewhere around 225ishwhp/205wtq though. I have Fujita CAI/RV6 Jpipe/test pipe and mid/driver side muffler delete.

225 / 205 sounds about right, I'm guessing you'll put down a little more.

Just for kicks, I'll record my car's 3rd gear pull so you can point and laugh haha.

Lol, no way. You have a lot of mods and probably put down around the same power as me. I just have 6 gears

I will say once again for the RL video of 0-80 with all the mods...he is not doing something right..cuz my car does not pull that slowly even with the heavy wheels.

@ Sonnick, here's my TL pulling 3rd gear from 75mph - 105mph. It's decently quick but once 4th gear comes, it's like 4500RPM and it takes forever to get back into a power range.



Sorry for the threadjack Blazing GT .

hmm, for some reason, it always seems slower when you watch speedo videos x_X like what tylerT posted, my 3rd gear pull doesn't seem anywhere near that slow in SS , or even Auto for that matter, and i'm stock x_X i'll have to record a video and see.

The M45 driver was slacking...I used to work at Infiniti, and I can safely say a M45 will destroy an RL. More HP, tons of TQ, two-wheel drive, and roughly the same weight? You do the math...
