Question Please advice...on mods

Just getting off a G35 to a 07 E350. (Just couldn't resist the deal, plus nobody ever got laid for driving an Infiniti). Long story short, I am feeling the lack of 'surge'.

Need your help on mods for a modest budget (No S/Cs etc.). Just need a vitamins, not steroids...plus mods that will offend the warranty the least, are desired:

a) Sprint Booster (seems a no brainer, will order as soon as I can figure where. Please help if you know)

b) ECU (which, where etc, would be helpful)

c) Others?

Thank you

PS: I plead ignorance - What is a Pulley and how does it work??

You will have nothing that can even be detected in the normal performance after doing these mods and you will be devaluing the car. They are a waste of money. If you wanted better performance you should have bought a V8.

Sosh is right. Your E350 has more than enough power for the real world, but the new '07 G35 is actually a tad faster, not to mention $15K cheaper. Guess it comes down to a choice between getting laid and getting ahead.

Plus, with everything you've mentioned you can kiss your warranty--for which you've paid a lot--goodbye.
