The same design philosophy is used by Greddy with their twin turbo kits.
It only took 66 pages but we've come full circle!

As we said in the very beginning of this thread one of the things we learned with our vq35 supercharger was that people might want really good low end power today but next year they generally want to bump up that power output. Which, as I said in the beginning, was something we kept in mind with this supercharger and one of the reasons we chose the vortech blower...it is very easy and inexpensive to add power later on.

By the way...this thing pulls HARD at low rpm! One of the things that steve reported during his test at el toro is how impressed he was with the throttle response at low rpm when he was accelerating out of the turns.

Sounds good but we need the new dyno, as of right now the one posted was a little low on the tq compared average wise, so we are waiting for the new one, soon?

The swap to the z is going very well. It's taking a little while longer than normal because our engineers are documenting the install for 370z specific instructions. The good news...the only difference between the two Kits is the fuel pump and one small bracket by the intake.
