:gtfo2::bowrofl:

Another G brotha that came to the same conclusion as I, the Z homies are a better group of folks :tup:

Yo, I was just at FI and they are very close on finishing the the kit for the the G. Everyone will be able to eat cake soon!

I agree. That forum is dead and peeps here are way better!!

Are g37 guys having delusions of grandeur against z guys?

"What's wrong with his car? Why is it sneezing? He must be sick."

This was one of my very few cons of the pros/cons list of each kit. BUT, sounds like they have a custom one too! How much protection does the crash bar provide btw? Is it a must to install the aftermarket? Damn kit costs just keeps adding up.

Lovely. In Kaliforniastan it's not a good idea in front of local authorities.

I'm running no crash bar at all. The FMIC, although expensive, is a crash bar in itself.

The FI replacement is made of steel and most likely provides more impact resistance than the aluminum OEM bar

Frank, your gonna have to introduce me to tony when we're down there! Lol. Unfortunatly my car won't be there now, with my motor going but I'm passing the idea around with going F.I. TT since my motor will already be out.

nice! i think it's something to add, but hey, w/o is just a weight reduction right!? Stage 1! HA:bowrofl:

They're more Z owners that mod compare to G37's. Most G37 owners are older and use them as cruisers on a warm night.

Z are just a better performing car due to the short wheel base and lighter (400lbs)

To sum it up, you will find more people to relate to cause I'm a modded VQ. If Q60 comes out with factory TT you will see a boom in the G forums again.

Now is Z's a better car? Will that all depends on your wants and needs.

Blowing the doors off a Vette with two hot bitches sitting in my backseat is a plus compared to a Z.;)

not a problem. tony is a great guy and loves talking about cars probably more so if you're trying to hand him a stack of cash as well lol

but yea i'll introduce you. maybe I'll get a commission :stirthepot:

sorry to hear about your engine going though. I must have missed it if your posted. what happened?

Dude, at these power levels, weight savings doesn't add up to much. Weight really only matters off the line anyway and don't worry about that, you won't have any traction thru 2nd gear:driving:

That was the joke my friend. I can only imagine the traction issues I'm going to ENJOY soon enough! ;)

Oh, I figured as much.

So how did a LSU guy end up in AZ?

It was Tx, then Ok, Then ID, THEN AZ! LOL Spent my high school years here so when my family moved back to Louisiana I stayed. Not a place in the world during football season I'd rather be than there (It's like their religion, but oh man those crawfish boils before gametime. AH!) but I'm happy here in Az. Everything is nice and new, busy, lots of opportunity to make money. Lousiana...not quite as much. They enjoy their booze, football, and frog legs.

Mmmmm....crawfish:yum:

Boiled up some myself a couple weeks ago

Yall are talkin high horse power food now!:p

Ever make a trip to Houston between March and end of May and I'll do you up right:tup:

Correct me but I believe you don't have to remove the motor to install the FI kit where the AAM you do? Just something else to consider.

Right on, I'm all in!

It's recommend that you remove the engine for the FI kit too...

to keep fingers and knuckles in useable condition then dropping the engine is pretty crucial lol

That's some Louisiana hospitality right there! You'd do just fine by me sir.

Digging what Cosmo said, sounds like the kit must be pretty easy, but going to have to agree with this one. Then again, isn't that why we pay someone else to do it? To keep our knuckles and baby soft hands for the ladies?:rofl2:

Texas hospitality but I love any cooking that involves time in the backyard and copious amount of alcohol so I added crawfish to my repertoire. Got plenty of Cajun buddies so I know mine are LA approved:tup:

A of the mud bugs from a few boils ago.

My pops has a gigantic boil pot if lots of people want to do a big boil. The pot is 3'x3'x3' square with a basket. It can probably fit 120lbs of bugs in one batch.

Ohh, and it's a toss up on which kit for me. They are both good. I think the only thing that has me slightly leaning to FI is the CS. On a side not, I HATE EVERYONE THAT HAS THE FI AND AAM kit!! That is all. Carry on.

Edit: My POP's pot is 2'x2'x2


YzGyz

Haha very nice! I knew our Tx neighbors knew what they were doin! Oh! I can not WAIT to be hated by you. One last thing, what is CS? Probably going to be obvious once you tell me.

Think that is customer service

knew it would be something Blatantly obvious. HA. Thanks man.

I'll play :stirthepot:

AAM kit has less than ideal pipe routing. for instance, look at that 90* turn the boost has to make before entering the intercooler passenger side. Or how close the intake pipe is to touching the the turbo manifold. Or how about those couplers on top of the intercooler. Too many bends and turns. It looks inefficient.


Now go look at FI. Everything has smooth transitions. And both sides passenger and driver...looks equal length and mirror image of each other

Wow, thanks for pointing that put. Amazing input, every bit counts. I think they designed the kit to be truly user friendly on the install and components of the car so EVERYTHING is able to stay in tact that is OEM. The z doesn't have much room in there as is, so I know there has to be some sacrifice made. Think you noticed the major end of it. ;)

I would sacrifice a few extra hours of work (if that even) for the utmost efficiency and power.

You say it 'looks inefficient' based off of your visual inspection of some pictures but I say it 'looks efficient' based off of visual inspection of these pictures. ;)

:yum:

The beauty of a built motor. Tune my torque curve like a table top and let HP be what it will!

Great numbers bro:tup:

You missed the point. You can probably make huge numbers on a kit with square tubing. That doesn't mean it should be built that way. Some people are OK with less than perfect.... Those people don't buy from fast intentions.

What kind of statement is that?

Power is power.

Piping makes a different, but shouldn't be the main factor.


FI, AAM both good kits.

They are both good kits I agree. The thread is asking which would you chose and why. I would have to choose fast intentions because of the attention to details and symmetry. The aam kit isn't quite as nice for my reasons stated above...

It's just my opinion.... Don't let that persuade you. Buy whatever you think will make you the happiest

Exactly this, they are both GREAT kits and I literally was tearing myself back and forth between the two that I needed something to help me push one way or the other. True, real reviews by customers help do just that ;) said it before, but I freakin love you guys! Can't wait to be posting up pics of her in surgery! Haha
