I suspect the VQ35HR intake manifold simply has more air volume than the UIM on the 3.7, and that somehow plays well in improved midrange, but probably reduces peak HP... which would explain why NISSAN didn't use it. They needed the peak HP numbers for marketing.

^^^^ makes so much sense. So looking forward to putting this on.
Also just got word that I will be allowed (got the bosses permission) to buy stuff to make my own grounding kit. Just trying to decide if I want the wiring to be blue with the car or like a neon green or orange

On another topic, I'm looking at your paint-in-progress pictures, and wondering why your paint guy didn't remove the window trim for the job, masking it instead.

it's worth mentioning - YMMV, of course - that some of us with grounding kits experienced strange battery issues. there's a note in the FSM that grounding kits do not play well with some sort of at rest battery voltage regulator in the car, and this can lead to your battery potentially not fully charging / dying an early death. Mine died within 2 months of getting a kit. My dealership also mentioned the grounding kit issue when I brought it in for an unrelated electrical problem.
It may or may not be related, but I disconnected my grounding kit, got a new battery, and no issues since, 20k miles ago.
This is hearsay - do your own research. Many people have them without issue!

To this point, the OP's car is practically new (albeit hail-damaged), so I was wondering what problems he was hoping to fix with the grounding kit.
Twiggs?
