Is there a thread where someone's been pushing at or above the RJM's potential hp/torque for some time? Most of what I've read is them starting to slip at under 5k miles. I would LOVE it if I could run the stock transmission. I'd consider keeping the car longer and going with the RJM. I'm also 500 pounds heavier than a Z so that may have an effect on longevity.

No way in hell is ANYONE running around at the 600hp level on the stock transmission.
Here's the Q50, he's been running around these numbers for a good while now on stock trans. He also daily drives the car without a filter cause he's crazy. I honestly thought something would have blown by now.

Bigger axles won't make the 7AT last any longer or solve the 7AT/torque issue unfortunately. A lot of Q60RS guys who've tuned their cars are seeing big torque gains down low. I'm not sure how long their transmissions will last. Not sure why Infiniti just didn't use revision B aka Jatco JR711e transmissions but I think Infiniti purposely minimized the torque in the lower rev range to preserve the transmission. Time will tell.

All of the car and truck manufactures use some type of torque management so that they don't have to worry about transmission warranty work. And can use a less capable tranny. Pinching pennies.

I know it's a little chunk more; but my plan was to pull my transmission & have built by Pat@level 10 when that day gets here for boost.
I'm considerably under the torque wire with 314/264 Rwhp/Tq...though I'm sure they gauge it at the flywheel.
But that's a 5-6k expense,that I have acknowledged with the 7A/T.
Hopefully with my current fluid change intervals; it will live till then. 82600mi. & still pulling strong.
I was really looking forward to seeing the prototypes @Zdays, but also understand how sh*t
Happens & they really want this kit to ridden of flaws from the start.
A little easier for us guy's in the US to get shipment to & from vendors...but still an expense.

They are wrapping up the last of the inventory this week and the supercharger kit news, pics and updates will start flowing again

Torque on a PD SC is going to be nearly flat off idle, so whatever that number is, if it's within specs for thr 7AT it should be okay, especially after tweaking the torque map.

With a centrifugal charger, because the torque curve is much less flat, the irony is, it's actually less wear on the numerically lower gears, which are stouter, but then murder on the numerically higher gears, which are not designed to handle as much torque.

Of course, if by 2000 RPM it already past the mechanical limits... good luck.

I've been watching the dyno numbers for the new 3.0TT Q50/60's which use the same transmission as the Z/G37 and many are making relatively big torque numbers very low in the rev range where the stock car did not. I'm wondering if they use the "B revision" model of our transmissions which are rated at 400lb-ft. and found in other Infiniti/Nissan vehicles. I have a Q70S in my garage as well but I haven't taken the time to crawl under and look at the transmission code.

Respectfully, I'm not sure about the CF supercharger being harder on the higher gears. You're still experiencing the peak torque/hp in each gear you redline. I'd think it'd be just the opposite as you're far less likely to redline 4th-7th (on the street anyway) and more time redlining in the first three traction-challenged gears, LOL. With the PD supercharger, you'll have all that torque down low and it'll get used more often than a torque peak at 5K rpm.

Tuning to limit torque (for a stock transmission) does make sense. I just wish we had more hard data on long term reliability at 400lb-ft.

This kit is really tempting, gotta way the benefits vs the extra cost vs a centrifugal kit. I wonder if the Fast Intentions flexplate alone with a transmisison cooler would be enough to reliably handle 400 trq.

Any hood updates? I think a lot of guys would like it to look as OEM and subtle as possible (no big noticeable vents down the sides, just keep the one in the back of the dome)

The 1st one would look much better if it were open at the front. Like a scoop with air flowing in the front and out the back. Can you give that a shot?
