RJ MFG Supercharger kit Feeler...

The problem I have is your going through hoops to bandaid a problem. So what if you get one for less than $5k. You still have a transmission that can break... or you can get a fully built trans that can take whatever you throw at it. To me it's a clear decision but that's probably because I have built so many of these cars that I am at a point to spend money where it counts. Going cheap just means double the labor in 90%+ cases... and then buying the right part the after I spent money on the cheap fix...

I was talking with fast intentions yesterday and their experience is good so far.

The newest 5.6L V8 Titan truck puts out 390hp & 394tq @flywheel...just say's 7sp.A/T

The one with the Cummins 5.0L & 555tq. comes with an Allison 6sp.auto & not a 7sp Jatco...Looking like 400'ish TQ is about the limit on stock 7A/T's...& being able to have one built to withstand 800+TQ 1000HP is pretty good,considering 1st gear is nearly 5:1

400 ftlb ~= 540 Nm of torque. This is pretty good for a stock trans that wasn't designed for forced induction yeah?

Except the 370z does not have 400ftlb from factory.
Forced Induction & 7AT 370z Info

The 370z has the RE7R01A, the B is the higher rated transmission in other Nissan/Infiniti cars which has been discussed if possible to just put in a 370z but never done. Probably because in is just cheaper to build the factory transmission at that point.
Torque Rating:
RE7R01A: 400Nm (295lb)
RE7R01B: 600Nm (442lb)

So any ETA when the kits are going to be released?

MCLOVIN · 04-01-2017, 05:22 PM

Or maybe some more hood renders?

The release was always set for Zdayz. The hope is to have it earlier. As for the hood renders I am waiting on a donor hood so I can make it. Just trying to find someone willing to sell me a hood and not at $1k because I am doing this out of my own pocket...

That is correct. We are planning to release the kit at Zdayz 2017. However, if testing goes well we will open a pre-order group buy limited to 10 kits at a discounted price. You will want to be in on this group buy! After the first 10 kits are sold it is set to the MSRP which will still be less than $10k full turnkey.

Bullitt, how come RJM isn't funding the development of the hood with you? I thought you two are collaborating together.
