Titan supercharger

LOL...where do you go about referencing my track experience/abilities? You do realize that I hold a NASA Competition License and instruct Group 1/2...right?

I have yet to have the Z on the track because frankly, it's my street-car. It's evident from members here with experience that the brakes are certainly a weak-point for the car (as is the case with most production sports-cars), so those need to addressed, along with oil-cooling and diff-cooling and/or the replacement of the factory LSD, for starters. Lately, fuel-starvation has been of concern, another issue one must take into consideration.

To copy/paste one of your own sentences...These types of additions are recommended for any sports car that goes on the track. Even Porsches, Corvettes, and Elises need tweaking in certain areas before they are pushed hard on a track...so I'm in no way talking down on the Z. The 370Z doesn't need a lot of work, so I don't even know what you are disagreeing with me on.

Adding some form of forced-induction and then tracking the car will open a whole new can of worms and perhaps shine a light on weak-points no one knew existed. Still, in my years of experience, I've seen what pushing such a car hard on a track that came from the factory NA will do, and you're in for nothing but a headache. Production-cars weren't designed to be pushed on a track in the first place, so to add forced-induction onto an engine that was also not designed with it in mind just compounds failure. Take a look under the hood of any track-prepped S2000, Corvette, 350Z, or any NA sports-car. You're not going to find a turbo/supercharger. Perhaps the only exception I can think of a supercharged Miata.

So tell me again...are you arguing with me just for the sake of it?
