Oh I agree with that without a doubt, but their are certain aspects that we need to accomplish, and TT is just not the perfect thing for a occasional track duty car. A supercharger just has a more linear power curve, and the turbo can sometimes ruin the smoothness of a good lap on the turns. With the sponsorships from some companies, all we need to complete the car will honestly be whats under the hood and the look will matter.

Well thats a no brainer there haha, 1000hp track Z would be a bit much eh? Not to mention a nightmare everytime something broke. 450ish is probably the sweet spot no?

Sweet spot is an understatement, its perfect for a car like the Z the way its balanced and the chassis. I can only imagine that driving a car like the koenigsegg or something that is made for that much power, how scary it would be let alone a 370 haha.

Sorry for derailing guys, Kyle I know you guys are busy and stuff, but did you ever do any other vids of the s/c??

I think 500 would be nice, we have great brakes available, so for long high-speed tracks i think the car could pull off 500hp thanks to straightaway gains.

I wonder are there any smaller pulleys available yet for the guys that have tuner kits and are looking for more? Also does stillen plan to begin offering support to build the motors anytime in the future or is GTM still going to be the only real player in that area of the market. There is plenty of room for a second competitor there to begin bringing the market on those parts down to an available level.

Hey, can you paste the link to your dyno charts? You posted "dyno results tomorrow" back on 8/12/10 in a different thread - the one about finished F/I builds, but then there are no more posts to that thread with your dyno results. Did you exceed the 452 whp and 354 lb/ft of torque that GTM advertises in their press release? I'm guessing you did since GTM has more working superchargers kits installed than Stillen. When I posted my dyno charts to this thread on 7/11/10 my car was making 422hp, but the throttle response and drivability wasn't to my liking so I had them retune it and give me more mid range power. My car still only makes 422 hp, which is less than their press release, so I guess my car technically still isn't working. I'm glad that GTM hasn't had any issues with the roll out of their kit like Stillen. On the endurance aspect, after two and a half months and two thousand miles, I haven't had any problems other than needing new rear tires.

No dyno results from my car as I am testing the LTHs for GTM and many members here. We have been going back and forth on things and hoping to have some progress soon. No point in posting test numbers.

Oh, yeah. I had the same issue with my Stillen set up. They originally told me they could have my car installed in May, but because I have headers, hi-flow cats and exhaust, they delayed it until June, but then the install took forever because they didn't have the tuning for the headers and cats worked out, so I didn't get my car back until early July. Well, hopefully they get yours worked out soon.

And please, post those dynos! We want to see what GTM's kit is doing when it's in it's "prime" form. The only GTM dyno I have seen is from Shumby's car, but from what I understand he is out of the country and isn't around to get the boost issue fixed. I was looking for the thread this was in, but I thought it was you, commenting on something about the inner diameter of the casting on the outflow pipe of the GTM compressor was too small and limiting boost at high rpm? Is that why Shumby is only getting 6 psi of boost? If he isn't around to get his fixed, have they got the new part to you, or are there other forum members that got the new part from GTM and have posted their dyno results?

Thanks,

Phi, did you know that Korn wrote a song about you?

I've been trying to get GTM dyno numbers forever, but nothing. No one will say anything...how bad can it be??

Shumby stopped at 6psi by choice, he has a 7AT and wanted to go reliable at first and as he upgraded he would go to the 8psi pulley. Which I believe he gas said he is thinking of doing when he get back into the country.

Plenty of numbers RCZ, check the G forum. So far I am the only 370z finished, dannygt is working on his build himself. I will post up after we get the upgraded piece.

i got my car back!

welcome home

edit: nvm.. I really dont care.

Congrats on getting the car back Eric.

^^^ well if you don't care stop posting. The numbers are out there. You just choose not to see them. Same as you choose not to see the poor numbers stilling is making and the poor tunes they have.

weiboy. how is the car. I bet you are loving it.
