i'm 17 and my grandfather just left me 75 grand, so first thing i did was picked up a 2002 350Z and had a greddy twin turbo kit, vielside widebody kit, 17x7 & 18x9 konig holes toyo tires, and an audiobahn sound system put in and on it. now with the greddy kit the way it came, bolt on, i'm only making 356 hp, if anyone ahs anysuggestions to what i should do next to make it get up and gome some more, lemme know, thanks

wait, what?? 356 horsepower with a greddy twin turbo kit? o.0 Are you sure? Do you have a dyno graph that you can post? Your one lucky guy, I had to save money up for a very long time in order to get my 350z. To answer your question, go address the head and the block. Do you have an aftermarket exhaust? Some performance exhaust might help with your search for more power. More air in ----> More exhaust gases out = HUGE POWER. Don't just work on one side. Since you upgraded your intake side, upgrade your exhaust side also. Just my 2 cents. ( Good thing I didn't get the Twin Turbo ) I thought that thing would be making about 380 at least to the wheel with them twins. How much boost did you put on? I believe Greddy advises the owner of a twinturbo not to go over 7 or 8 psi. But I heard that at 7 - 8 psi, the twinturbo makes very close to 400 horsepower at the wheel. I heard you can go over 7 - 8 psi only if you have put work on the head and the block. 356 horsepower to the wheel seems pretty low with a twin turbo. 56 gain seems more like a supercharger gain then a turbo gain. Eh I might be wrong. =)

356 with stock boost is pretty good, I am running with around 7.5 psi, exhaust, test pipes and I am at 382, he didn't gain just 56 HP he gained over a hundred, the Z stock at the wheels is about 240.

You need to address timing and fuel before you can up the boost from stock.

Thought it was around 280HP to the wheel?

All except the Anniversary and 2005 Track model, which are 300, are 287 at the engine so around 230-240 at the wheels with some even dynoing around 220.

thanks by he way westpak, but i haven't touched it yet. i was looking at borla's newer dual 2 3/4 exhaust and headers, and maybe a 125hp direct port nitrous system. any suggestions on which brand, i' heard so many, or anything i should do better on the exhaust side. i just put a b&m short throw and a front strut tower brace on it, along wit a KAAZ limited slip. any other suggestions, hit me back

cause its a vett =D. im just kidding. The vett is good but the 350z is better in its own ways.

I've got a Z, and I'm not sure how the 350z is better than a C6 Corvette... but Ok.

The Vette is still a GM product with GM quality, for the price even with FI I think the Z looks much better than the Vette plus all Vette owners are a$$holes I would rather hang with my Z club members than the old bitter Vette owners.

I think the vette owners are mad because well, their vettes used to be the best, but now it isn't =D just my guess. O and yes 350z is better then the vette in its own ways and the vette is also better in its own ways. They are both awsome cars.

The vette would always be more reliable vs a forced induction 350z. If I had a choice i'd still choose the 350z for some odd reason.
