Sounds good. Maybe you can top the record for highest HP N/A vq37. Also you can do other stuff to make the car faster, like get 2 piece brakes, light weight wheels, etc. The problem is the cost, with the amount you need to make 360 whp N/A you can basically be boosted already.

Admin Tuning is on facebook and he's in So Cal I believe also check out Saul nismo knights on instagram he's a very well known tuner in so cal for z's and g's and he just tuned a vq37 with bigger throttle bodies and Admin tuning intakes

The money I'm about to spent on my G is chump change. Now do me a favor and stick to the subject please. Thanks in advance





Chump change and this is just $1700 I spent/spunt about $1000 today on my mom and sister
Oh man I'm so sorry, I didn't realize you were a real baller! Sh*t, $100K's a year and you're sportin' a 2008 G. Man that should have been the tip that led to the big clue you be rollin' in it. I bet you shift mad quick yo.

Here's a shot of the $100 bills I found on the internet. I'm a baller too!

What must I buy in just power mods to accomplish this.

And I don't really see any real gains from buying an exhaust systems for the G, I will most likely do muffler delete and with art pipes.

Nah I'm good of full suspension lowering springs and sways for me and the car will be built for both but it will drag race more than seeing track days
N/A mods won't do much for you if you want to drag race. Your statements are a bit contradicting... you want N/A mods only but you don't see any real gains from exhaust systems? You should go F/I in this case for real gains. Put that $100k a year to some good use

Sounds like the first $1700 could be spent on all intake mods from 3" CAI, MAF sensor upgrade, ported throttle bodies, ported upper and lower manifolds. Then a tune and so on. Of course the GTHaus exhaust, Berk HFCs will go well with your rear diff upgrade, and maybe a polyurethane transmission mount. Tune again. Should be fun. Start a build thread so we can watch your progress.

2008 G? i would save that money for the paper gasket failure.

the G is tuned to the ragged edge from the factory and a fairly heavy grand touring sport/luxury car. $1700 won't get you much of an increase.

should have bought a 996 turbo or Evo if you want crazy horsepower.

it's a decent living if you're in BFE Kansas or something.


In New York / SF you're basically homeless.


Even here in Seattle area you are barely above average.

Who says it will fail instantly? There's turbo G37's still running the OEM paper gasket that has yet to fail.

You do understand that I didn't need nor did I ask for finically advice from you right you dought it up. And I wasn't stunting at all I took the picture with the money at work and to prove it I'll take another for you. Did you even read the title of my thread if you not commenting on how to help me with my goals your comment is not needed. I have investments already don't want any more at the present time. You have a great day and when you want to reply to the subject at hand your more than welcomed.






My $2,000+ a day "My carry around money" and my riced out Corvette.

Off subject but **** it. It disrespectful in my opinion to just yell outfinicinal advice when you don't know my situation. Let's try and stick to the subject at hand my goal is simply to have the highest and fastest NA G simple. Just looking for the best parts and advice on my upcoming build

Without FI or NOS, and without internals, there's not much to be had. But if thats your requirements, header back exhaust, intake, throttle body, and injectors will be the majority of what you can do.

Ok cool I'm on Z1's site now they seem to have the best/highest hp headers out also do I really need an exhaust being that the G has a really good stock exhaust I was thing Test Pipes with muffler delete would do just fine but if need be I like morotdyne shockwave exhaust
