Not right now, Im leaning towards GTM but if they both work good and are about the same then its which ever I can get cheaper.

Let me tell ya guys, I drive with a current member on the forum that owns a GTM SC kit and this thing is a fucl<in rocket. The weird thing is this kit sounds like it has BOV's 2 or 3 times louder than the twin's for sure, no joke. Having Sam's support 100% of the way makes this SC option a no brainer. Plus your engine bay stays looking OEM and not like a 5.0 Mustang.

you stay away from the Mustang hate buddy. Is Sam paying you to promote his products? that sounds like a promotional paragraph someone reads just before you click the "add to cart" button.

Really? Because it is my car and what he says is true.
You should realize that JB is a turbo lover to the end, him liking my car even is shocking to me.

not denying it, just said it sounded like an advertisement speech

LUVZTTZ · 09-09-2010, 11:49 AM

Danny has convinced me that somebody with a little mechanical acumen can install this.

This looks like a great winter project while the Z is hibernating. Does anybody want to provide a link to the install instructions? I emailed Sam, but haven't heard back.
I want to see how this stacks up to the TT instructions and decide whether I want to attempt it on my own.

I promote GTM, or advertisement speech as you want to call it. You will find that all Sam's customers do this in one way or another. You know why? Well just in case you don't it's because GTM is that damn good. Awesome *** products that perform, look great, and backed by awesome customer service. So yea I think all of us advertise for SAM but you know what it is because he stands by us and we want everyone to know of are experience with them. Also to let everyone know that this is a great company to spend your hard earned money on for products.

Dream I am glade your car is running great. I was very surprised as well as you were with how well that canned tune performs. Everyone was telling me that my canned tune for my TT from SAM wasn't going to be good and that I should get a custom tune, but they were all wrong lol. Just goes to show that Sam has this car down to a science,

The fact is this guys, no one has come close to their claims (Stillen's)...period. Those that have, had more mods done and STILL fell short of the advertised claims. Maybe someone messed with the dyno, who knows. Let’s not even bring up RCZ’s car…Custom tuned by a super aggressive tuner amongst other things.

Anyway - those that have the GTM kit are running flawlessly. Shumby, with his fine example of already achieving the numbers of the low power numbered Stillen kits out there with ONLY 6psi, has the most important thing of all, drivability.

That’s what sets apart real tuners....They can [try to] make more HP than the GTM kit but so far the drivability aspect of their tunes is a ******* joke. When you look at both tuners its clear both pushed the kits to the limit, and no one will get those numbers. I sure don’t expect to get 460whp. GTM has a few dyno sheets showing power ranging from 420-460. But their advertised hp claim shows they except, with a safe tune, to be in the 410-430 range. I do know for a fact that I will be in the 410-430whp range, and even more so with water injection/custom tune. My goal even before I bought the SC was strictly to hit 420whp. I know I can hit this with no fancy tune.

I’ll tell you, it’s been a great experience doing this install, and I have to say that GTM is 95% perfect with their instructions. I will be making edit’s to the document so that anyone else tackling this, being it pro or not, can have that much more specificity.

Shumby had a custom in person tune. Has any of the few GTM customers there are so far used a "canned" tune?

I am on a canned tune from GTM, no dyno tuning with my car and it is running great.

shumby · 09-08-2010, 11:34 PM

^^^ what he said. Plus I (shumby) have over 7000 miles on it now with no issues. Plus I have a 2300 mile in 24hrs trip unterthe belt too. that alone should tell you about the durability of this system

Z eliminator · 09-09-2010, 09:33 AM

Z 's car will take a little longer as " Sam as something very special coming for him "
Shumby's car is a great car.
I feel that mine will be the total package.
Gears, tranny and ???? RWHP.
It may snow here before it see's the road with the new mod's.
