You'll get more top-end the larger you go. I haven't seen anyone lose power down low from installing a spacer.

I think you're gonna appreciate the non-power mods more because honestly trying to get power out of an NA VQ35DE is like trying to modify a civic - it's not gonna get you anywhere. You'll get maybe 20-30 whp tops out of an N/A setup and it's not even really worth it. When I had my Z I had intake & exhaust and I got like 20 whp from it and that was the best intake/exhaust. That intake was stillen and the exhaust was an HKS Hi-Power Ti. That exhaust retails for $1500! the intake was $220. So you get my drift...

Anyways, I think the best thing for a G35 is a front lip, slam it, and some deep dish HRE, Iforged, WORKS, or Volks = sex! If you have an 03-05 I would upgrade at least the headlights to 06 projector headlights and even the taillights to the 06 ones if you can.

I just ordered the pop charger today and i am sticking to just test pipes and removing the rear resonator. Every thing i have read on g35driver and from talking to Tito has made me leave the car stock up to this point. I really want to do something with the front grill as it is the only part of the car i do not like.

I really like the ride quality and don't want to lose it but i want to increase the cornering capability's. Any springs or swaybars that you suggest? Also what front lip would you suggest?

Purchasing a pop-charger was a waste of money. the stock intake is perfectly fine. I would upgrade to a 350z intake tube and thats it as far as intakes go.

If you go with cams you're going to want to get the ECU tuned and by that point your car's going to be on a whole new level of driveability. A buddy of mine had a G and put the RSR exhaust on it with the pop charger and it was a blast to drive. One thing I don't like about the G (and the stock evo for that matter) is the clutch. It's too spongy from the factory. I recommended he get an ACT and SS clutch line as I did this to my evo and it made a world of difference. He has since traded up for the G37 and doesn't like it near as much. As far as the plenum spacer, are you referring to the "gasket" that sits between the intake manifold and the block? If so, all this does is insulate against heat which won't give you "more" power but keeps power from dropping due to heat.

There is a few modified 350Zs in my area, two are turbo, one supersharged, and one N/A. Believe it our not the N/A does the best in the quarter out of the three. I believe he has cut out the cats, removed resonators, intake spacer, intake, and tune.
