Sorry for the bashing, but after reading your posts I became a little irritated. First off, if drag racing is your primary focus, a G37 sedan was a poor platform to start with. Sure, it's decently quick bone stock, and can be modified via forced induction and other bolt-ons to greatly increase power, but as others have mentioned, it's a fairly heavy car. You'd have been better off going a different route.
Second, with enough money and know-how, a person can make nearly any car incredibly quick. Some cars are just more easily and less costly tuned. To answer your question, forced induction, whether turbo or supercharging, should give you a significant increase in power. It just depends on what hardware is used, to what pressure it's tuned, what other mods are implemeted, etc.
Without having seen the videos in question, and more importantly, without having seen these cars myself, it's difficult to say if forced induction was used. More important than what cars they were losing to is what times were these G's posting?
End rant.

If im not mistaken, the g37 sedans are lighter than the coupes. However I do agree with that your saying. You cant put a Infiniti to the line and exspect it to be a good "drag" car. its power to weight ratio is way off and makes it that much of a lemon on the drag strip. However the G can be a very fun highway car.

I'm guessing either English isn't your native language or you're a mental midget. Perhaps both? Also, your understanding of racing, engine modification and performance, and dynamics in general is limited.

Now my whole issue, I am NOT the one using g37 for drag purpose, I have a sti for that, BUT I see g37 vid being posted on various drag site VERY often and all of these vid shows a g37 lost. I already gave example of where these vid are located, you can locate them very easily.
I dont know, am I the only here that hate seeing my cherished car lose on a daily basis? I just simply wanted to know if that 5k Stilien Sc or that 9k tt can be a simple fix to this.....losing streak.
And really, I am hoping for someone with experience in dragging with the G37 tt or sc to answer, because I am actually in a middle of buying decision now; dumping another 7-8k on the sti or putting it in 8-10k on the G37 for tt or sc. Obviously I want the biggest bang for my buck.

Maybe you are not understanding where I am coming from or maybe I am not expressing myself well enough. I have a sti and a g37, 1 is for drag and 1 is for normal driving. I already stated on my first post that I love my g37, more than the sti.

As far as the vids go, I just started looking and haven't found them. Hyperthreading or at the very least providing a link would be much appreciated.
As efuseakay already mentioned, there will always be someone faster out there. Period.

Yes, a number of those cars lost. Some of which were to insanely powerful and quick cars. Losing to a car posting a 9.5 et is nothing to be embarrased about! A stock G37 should be capable of mid to upper 13 sec et's. Very respectable. With some simple bolt-on mods, and perhaps forced induction 12 sec et's should be attainable.
Still, there will be countless cars that are faster. Who cares? That's not the premise for the G.
