I haven't had a chance to ride in it yet (says he still has to break it in)...anyhow, here's a few pics of the engine bay. Install looks good to me







and last but not least a picture of the car

I heard those vortech SCs don't produce much power for the VQ series.

correction: It was a stillen supercharger that sucked.

A g35 sedan dynoed at 260rwhp with a stillen stage 2 supercharger...he should be over 320rwhp. The guy in the coupe who dynoed 250rwhp raced him and beat the supercharged sedan.

Was there an intercooler setup for the SC on the G35. Reason why I ask was because I was told that a SC on the 350z and G35 get really hot due to how cramped they are...

car looks great...

Yep, even stock 350Zs hood and fenders are burning hot. Huge vented hood scoops or side scoops(ala BMW Z3 style) might help out.
