I find that to be amusing...

Now did someone point a gun in your head, asking you to create 15-20hp gain for YOUR car, if not they'll give YOU the money to buy YOUR car???

If any shops have the expertise locally, I would say look into some more aggressive cams for your engine.

If you are on budget then get a

1)Greddy Exhaust.
2)Cold Intake.
3)Pulley

& maybe more that I can't remember now**

I have a question about pulley's.. how does that work.. what does it actually do by changing it? Does the stock auto gen3 already have a pulley? Thanks i tried searching but nothing that clearly answered my question came up. Thanks.

Pulleys in general are round thingys that spin and do &quot;work&quot;. The classic example are trams that are pulled by cable.

The pulleys you are referring to is a crank pulley, which goes at the end of the crankshaft. It sits all the way at the bottom of the block. There's already one on the car. It is part of the system of belts and pulleys that drives the alternator, air conditioning, and power steering. Part of the stock pulley is the harmonic balancer, a rubber grommet designed to reduce crankshaft vibration.

After market pulleys are lightened and smaller in size. They are commonly called underdrive crank pulleys or lightened crank pulleys. Both the reduced weight and underdriving caused by the smaller size are capable of producing power gains. However, aftermarket pulleys do not have harmonic balancers, and according to some, it can lead to engine damage.

Camcrazy,

If you're going to buy the 350Z if you can't get 15-20hp for the Cam, I'd say sell the Cam!

FYI, you can always port the head, get a header, exh, CAI, and there might be cams lurking around somewhere. That should give you at least 15-20hp. But I think you know where I stand on your decision! :smile:

Enjoy!

Umm... No offence but... If you need that to beat a honduh...
bro, for a couple grand do a 3s-gte swap and give that 350z a run for its money.

might as well get yourself a Shˇtstain (... uh... Mustang) so you can beat all those pesky eyetalian imports too... :razz:

Hi Guys,

Yes I have been discussing this with my friends also .

I have 99&quot; Camry - 69000 miles on it.
I think I will get good re-sale value as its totally flawless car.

350Z is in my mind
Mine is always been a toyota family so we never had other models.

I heard good reviews about 350Z &amp; thought will wait till it has been tested on roads for atleast 5-6 months.


Lets see what happens : 350Z is looking pretty good &amp; the best value for the buck.
