So they're selling your IP.

Did they make you sign something that says stuff you come up with while employed there is theirs? If not, you could corner the market by hitting them with a cease and desist.

So, what did you do to the intakes? Did you make it go to 2 filters instead of 1, and enlarged the radiator support?

I didn't sign anything while working there, but I have no interest in doing such.

They're all great guys, I still talk to at least one of them daily. And realistically, as much as I enjoy the G/Z work, there's only so much we can support, we currently have 24 GT-Rs in the parking lot, with at least as many other cars.

I was in no way serious, hence the emoticons.

Now make with the damn info so those of us outside your area can DIY it.

Rob,

Do you offer an alternative to the z1 or m370 manifold? Also, do you offer etunes similar to whats available for the GTR?

Jordo! · 04-30-2014, 01:21 AM

If TSM has a nice pnp'd IM that shows solid gains with a tune at a reasonable price point, I'd certainly be interested.

As to intakes, I'd be curious to hear if they have a larger diameter and if some nice CNC'd velocity stacks might be involved...

Mike · 04-30-2014, 06:46 PM

yes, that was Allison's. Great job by TopSpeed.

hadn't been on in a while, didn't know there was anohter page on it.

Rob did the work on mine and glad he has found a way to pull more out of it. TopSpeed is an awesome shop and has been the winners of One Lap of America with a GTR and have an awesome R8 entered this year that should win again!

How much HP are you shooting for with the NA build?

critical · 05-20-2014, 02:43 AM

anyone's guess on what a tune would yield me? mods in sig.

probably 5-10 rwhp.

for example: with all my mods i baselined at 309. post-tune i was at 324.

exhaust, intakes, and tune is all i have.
