Wow....congrats Version...I've been out of this thread for just a few days and it blew up. What the hell! And congrats to the others that dyno'd as well...looks like you guys are doing pretty damn good. Also, speaking of dyno'ing. I think I'm going to be going to a place in Phoenix pretty soon to dyno as well. I've really wanted to dyno with my stock ECU, and then swap the EMS in there to see how it compares...I'd like to try both Church's map as well as my slightly modified one. However, I'm sure I'm much lower now, I'm on both stock intake and stock exhaust with the cat as well. Basically my only performance mod being the EMS...and the gears
anyway I didn't expect this blow up...here are pics I took with firends last week...
btw...I used to not be able to beat my friends 350z, even with the tune, the exhaust/intake/tp. Now with just the EMS and gears, I walk away.

4.77 will give you better low end but the top end will be minimal, 4.57s are the best all around.
Gas mileage definitely is worse though.

I disagree. Maybe for supercharged cars the 4.57 would be best, but for N/A the 4.77 pretty much spanks anything down low. The car is a freakin' beast. Up top the 4.77 still have a slight advantage over the 4.57 as well. They are overall faster in every category, although boosted driveability may differ. However, some 4.77 geared boosted S drivers would say otherwise.

how bad is the gas mileage on the highway with 4.77's? I tend to cruise in the 75-85 mph range more often than not...
Right now I'm getting about 27-29 highway, unless I use the cruise control, then I get about 32.

^ gas mileage is horrible. I get around 18 on the hwy but around 24 in the city. Yes, I get better city mileage than hwy, interesting eh? 
I might work on that badge tonight! I'm staying at my gf's place but I'll bring a copy of photoshop to install on her computer and get some images up for you guys to check out.
Oh, I may be selling my T1R 70mm and VAFC2. I'm letting you guys know first. I offered to buy the used inlinePRO turbo kit posted in the FS forum and as long as nobody is ahead of me I'll get that kit and be selling the exhaust (I'll get a 3 inch) and VAFC2 (I'll need an AEM).
700 for the exhaust, 200 for the VAFC2.

Out of all the N/A peeps on this thread, I think my S is making more power. Not trying to be arrogant or anything, but that is just my gut feeling. versionJDM is making some very impressive power given his mod list, but I am very confident that my S is making more than 227rwhp. My S is certainly making more than 147 ft-lbs torque. Last time I dyno'd my S made 165 ft-lbs, and that was with my previous exhaust (which was crap!).
