If you asks me, I would say it is not worth it for a few HP gains. That link is a perfect example.
Ok...
any idea how long it was actually on the car or how much mileage was put on the lightweight UDP?

I don't know how long he had it for? I would assume he had it for at least a year or 2.

The real issue is where to put your Unorthodox Racing sticker. I put mine on the battery. For yucks.

You'll also notice my battery was equipped with HAWK pads.

I'd like to hear more feedback on a 75 or 100 shot nitrous setup - this would be a good bang for your buck mod if it's setup with the proper safeguards.

Considering all the other mods you have, that would be my suggestion.
Or you could do the throttle bodies custom though.

Def potentional for alot more power if you could get into that area.

Heads are very workable, port & polish would do alot imo.

My mechanic had mentioned to me when we were doing the stillen headers, he noticed the stock port had alot of room to expand that port.

If you were in a 370 z just with your current mods, youd be already at the 350whp mark your looking for.

Unfortunatly, the g takes alot more to get the same results.

Beside the extra weight we also have a crappy driveshaft.

The 370z has a carbon fiber driveshaft, im sure that has alot to do with it.

good luck with your persuit of more hp, n/a keep up the good work, look forward to seeing some nice results.

I admire the effort, its alot of hassle sometimes when you break new ground.

I ran a 55 shot on my 370z and it only lowered my 1/4 mile time by 2-3 tenths. The car just didnt seem to like the nitrous set up for some reason, cant explain why.
