Nice.

Thanks for the update. DIfferent brake fluid makes a big difference.

Glad to see just a few minor things are easy to fix to increase performance a lot.

Yeah, it's amazing. Most people think that to make their cars a ton quicker they need lots of power. Project G37 is completely stock on HP right now, yet its already a ton faster.

Even the suspension, while it was a big performance enhancer, is the smallest contributor to the increased performance, and that's the most expensive thing we put on it. The biggest change in performance came from a couple bottles of brake fluid, and an oil cooler. It sure helps to take a look at what you want to improve before you start buying random "go-fast" parts.

Many on the track will tell you that following a budget the best bang for the buck is often brakes, especially for tracks with a lot of curves to straights ratio.

What type of performances gains did you get after this?

0-60 time?1/4 mile?

Didn't test any straight line performance. However, it probably won't be much different than stock. We haven't done anything to add power yet. The only thing we've done is brakes (which obviously won't affect straight line speed), oil cooler (which doesn't affect it either), and suspension, which would have a minimal affect on straight line acceleration, if any.
