How do I gain some more power without TT or SC?
I have a stock 2008 G37 coupe automatic and I like it but I'd like a little bit more power. What can I do to make it a little bit faster? I know I can get exhaust and an intake what else is there without getting a turbo or supercharger or taking weight off? I don't plan on racing it at the track just some fun around town.

That will yield 55hp
Make sure you plastidip it first for that extra oompff.

To be honest, my stock 2009 G37 seems limited more by the 7AT (and, outside dry conditions, RWD traction*) more than anything else.
(*I encounter lots of wet weather, and plan on dropping the Michelin Primacy tires I got the car with in exchange for sometime more wet worthy...not sure just what yet though.)

That surprised me also! I mean I know I don't know a ton about cars and I'm learning,(particularly from this forum
) but dang I'm not that dumb. But it is interesting to read the description for this silly thing. It's crazy(and sad in a way) how consumers actually get swindled by gimmicks like these.

Actually, thanks for pointing that out -- I didn't notice Rad_Slinger's post count, so I just assume it was a spammer or simply a noob posting rubbish.
This actually brings to mind an interesting bit FifthGear did regarding mpg extending devices. As expected, none of them were any good, but one of them was particularly bogus -- it was as simply a battery lit LED, and that's it. >.>
