well if its anything like the engine in my Z it will respond pretty well to bolt-ons up to a certain point. intake and cat back with a tune will net you around 20 to 30whp on the Z's 3.7 engine which puts it a little over 300whp to the wheels, the only things i havent seen tested are stillen headers and JUN exhaust cams...stillen claims about 10whp gain on headers and JUN claims around 15whp gain on their exhaust cams which theoretically would put the Z whp at around 330 to 340whp. the only further gains that could possibly be made on the Z 3.7 engine is someone finally figuring out how to unlock VVEL which is nissans version of VTEC on the intake cams.
maybe im jsut out of the loop. but ive never seen a 3.7 350Z with 330 whp.
they are all pretty slow aroundhere.
but we do have high rev motors. just keeps pulling till redline.
Now that I see the big photo I see you got yourself a sharp lookin front bumper on your gen coupe. Nice job!

im at about 280-285. to be honest. the bolt ons dont do much unless tuned. and only 2 companies tunes are worth the $$$. but thats like 700-800 bucks.

Well the car just came out, but the 3.8 has been around for some time now wierd that no one has cracked it for cheaper. But i guess its also shows the demand of such a tune, maybe the demand is just low hence why not much time has been put into it.

the 3.8 wasnt seen as potential when it first came out since the 2.0T came out too.
now. the 3.8 is on the uprise. turbo kit just released. SC on its way. custom cams can be done.
if your talking about 3.7. thats the 370Z. little different story there.
but they still boats.

lol, i was talking about my 370Z dude...and umm boats? little harsh man considering the 370 is lighter than the genesis coupe...even the r-spec 3.8 manual by about 200lb...i really respect the gen coupes as a performance sports car, but truth be told the gen coupe, just like the 370 has alot of potential that is still locked up due to nobody being able to crack the ECU just like nobody has figured out how to crack VVEL on the 370 engine yet
2012 Hyundai Genesis coupe 3.8 R-spec is 3389 lbs.
This is according to Edmunds.com.
I know the lambda engine gen coupe has been cracked. just now on the US side.

obese driver. full tank of gas. all fluids (coolant, oil, etc). and a maybe a trunk full of dead hookers. ok, maybe no trunk full of hookers lol. seriously though, i never would have guessed over 3400lbs for the 370z. i just cant see it weighing 39xx lbs.
