Default Mods List for N/A 3.5

Thought I would start a thread to build a list of available mods for normally aspirated 3.5 engines and see how big we can grow it:
  • Intake system (CAI, WAI, SRI)
  • Headers
  • Y-pipe
  • cat-back/muffler delete
  • VIAS delete
  • Manifold spacer gasket
  • Intake manifold
  • Plenum spacer
  • Programmer/chip/ECU mod/pro tune/dyno tune
  • Underdrive Pulley
  • Camshaft
  • SSIM (secret sauce intake manifold) http://forums.maxima.org/6th-generat...m-6th-gen.html
  • 3" MAF tube
  • Transgo shift kit for A/T
  • Grounding kit
  • Motor mount inserts
  • Traction rods
  • Throttle body spacer

Cams, SSIM (secret sauce intake manifold), this involves removing the shelves in your manifold.

3" MAF tube (BBMAF), under programmer I would add a prefessional tune, Transgo shift it for A/T.

My normally aspirated VQ would benefit from a turbo...

You have a plastic intake right? This mod wouldn't benefit you like it does the cast intake not to mention the spacing for the intake screws is different. I wish I had your intake setup.

Man..getting more power out of the VQ is gunna be tough. Maybe a agressive cam might, well might hell. It WILL pull some power out but I think camming the vq would cost hellacious money.

You're right. 270 is pretty good from a V6, imo. Grab yourself a bottle maybe.

Eh, Im a little nervous with a NOS bottle. One, I have a CVT, and I dont know how much power it can handle. 2. NOS is like a hot girl with STDs. You want to hit it but your afraid of the consequences.
