Faster SC400?
Ok so today i got owned by a G35 pretty much stock..plenum intake and exhaust. for the second time. first time I had my silencers, now after removing them, he only got me by a lenght and a half. (It was worse the first time)

2nd gear roll, it's obvious he is lighter than me, because i know we have similar horse power.
I have the OEM intake, and OEM MAF it's a 92
i have cats but 2" stright pipes in to the OEM big silencers.
I will go 1jz but it will be at least 6 more months bfore i ship on that one, in the mean time i wanna go faster. not crazy fast just faster than a G35 or 350Z...

Since I kept getting beat by NA Supra's, SC400's and LS400's in races with my SC300, I got one of those 4" round air filters and put it in place of my stock air box. I also have a custom exhaust which helps too. I can beat the Supra now, and I can keep up with the 1UZ's for a while. The air filter is $25 from Autozone and the adapter is about $15 from O' Reillys.

All the previous posters are correct, BFI, full exhaust will really help, LSD. Another thing you that will help with the weight issue is removing your spare tire. I remember a thread from a few years back of ppl who did this, all with positive results. It's a small thing, but anything to help that SC4 slug lol.

Interesting. Might as well remove the jack, too, if you won't have a spare to exchange. Maybe I'll empty the trunk contents completely and weigh everything to see what weight savings you get.
Have you removed your wipers? Folded back your mirrors? Washed your windshield? Kept your windows up? Lowered rear tire pressure? Removed the rear and passenger seat and glove box and center console contents? Raced with near empty tank of fuel? Emptied your washer fluid? Just how silly do you want to get to race a LUXURY car? Wait until you do your swap.

BFI which should be no more than 10 bucks. Look at planetsoarer.com for info on that. Exhaust which can be just deleting the cats and resonators for super cheap. However, you can get a pretty decent muffler setup from ebay at less than $300. Upgrade your plugs and wires. Seafoam your car, clean your throttle body. Do these things so you know your car is running right.
