This is awesome

I wonder why the pics are not loading. If I quote sam and copy and paste the actually links into another window they load fine....


I have one question though with the oil relocation kit. It looks like the oil filter would be right against the bottom engine cover. What happens when someone uses a sandwich plate for the oil an oil cooler, which is pretty much a guaranteed item?

Suddenly I am interested.

edit: My only real worry would be an installer on the east coast that is close.

To Shumby

I spoke to Sam last night for 45 min at 11.00pm. I reminded him that you sent him a "PM".
He recevied it but has been too busy to get back to you. He has been up to many late nights working on the SC. He told me that he will get back to you ASAP.
I did not forget you, "my fellow Canadian "
Did you see the Hockey Game.

It was madness here in Toronto last night.

Thanks for looking out for me. lol



Ya the game was stressfull. I got to see it but all in russian. lol Made $50 off of it too so it was all good.

travisjb 03-01-2010 11:30 AM

Sam, congrats. I think you're doing the community a service with this pricing, so thanks for digging deep and making it affordable...

some more questions:

- I'd really like to see the weight of the components listed out... what is the net weight change for someone pursuing each kit stage? we can do the math ourselves if you give us component weights

- I agree with the comment about the oil filter... that scares me, my car is lowered and I bottom out all the time at the track... with a sandwich plate, this thing is going to strike the filter to ground, which can only be bad... can you redesign that adapter and move it up a little ?

thanks

have some manners :stirthepot:

why are you instigating?

i think we are fully aware of the fact the neither stillen nor GTM would make such a comment on each other...........

what a shame.............just foolish and childish.........

on that note, SAM have you pushed the SC kit to the limit, either track or street?

i figure your team had been too entangled with R&D that you might not have had the chance to test the durability and drivability of the current set-up......

still a long way to go, but just curious.....:bowrofl:

wow. This kit looks amazing and the dyno looks great. I would definitely like to see some performance measures on the road. Also, for us Cali people, having a carb legal kit would be awesome!

Actually, it wasn't, you are really looking for something if thats what you thought. You're the only one thats reading into everything they say. I don't think they want to start drama... if they did they would've said something back when Sam said a few things about their kit that weren't accurate. Give it a break man...both companies are trying to keep it professional.

Just let the manufacturers and, more importantly, their products speak for themselves, bro. No need to instigate.

DannyGT 03-01-2010 01:12 PM

Yes, lets try to keep the press release clean...Do that on the other thread.

Anyway - SAM, thanks for taking the time to speak with me today. I know I had alot of questions, so thanks for answering them.

Cant wait to see the rest of the updates!

LMAO, I love how much respect you have for GTM's press release that you are posting giant pictures of cats on it.

Buddy Revell 03-01-2010 01:29 PM

Yeah, complaining incessantly about a technical discussion about turbochargers (which definitely relates to how centrifugal sc's work), then instigating trouble and posting nonsense pics on these threads. Ridiculous.

RCZ 03-01-2010 01:39 PM

About that....

thegraylady 03-01-2010 02:16 PM
