I wouldnt do an uprev yet, even with a stock motor youll get gains, but not much. for 500 dollars you can get: Test Pipes or HFC (Berk test pipes 260 from jebperformance and 360 for HFC i believe), Hotchkin sway bars ~400 dollars. I would contract John@JEBperformance hes given me the best prices on anything ive bought so far, i wish he woulda been around before i started modding! Im getting sway bars hopfully this weekend so i can review them

Get the sway bars. Much more noticeable vs. stock. I've spent the money for STB,CBE, HFC, sub/amp, led lighting, everything but FI or tune, and sway bars are by far the most noticeable improvement besides my exhaust. I have ARK so the sound difference was night and day.

HFC's are always popular, but like godzilla619 said, go with sway bars. you'll be taking turns tighter and feel more in control of where your car goes. That way you could probably get faster times on a track if you ever decide to go down that path

Go to your local Infiniti Dealer. Pay your service manager $100 cash. Ask to update your ECU to IPL version. Will add 15 horses. Because only change they have done on 2011 IPL is front and rear aero bumpers. With $400 left buy berk test pipes from JEB Performance of this forum. Still plenty to save.

Nope, IPL tune comes directly from the manufacturing plant.
