When things heat up though, it may or may not become an issue. Those coolers are probably dual oil coolers, the piping goes behind them, not through them. There was no room in the front to put a bigger one, so they opted for two smaller side mounted ones. They look awesome on there and hopefully the side inlets of the front bumper allow enough air into them. Oh wait this is shumby's car? hopefully they don't then. ( I keed). Wonder how much weight all those coolers and fluid added to the nose of the car...
i believe the top cooler is for the rotrex SC and the sides are for the engine oil and transmission... so ur right, those might not be enough... but then again the g's front fascia allows more air flow compared to the Z.... i think the placement and type of oil cooler used for the robispec 370z could be a better set up to cool the engine oil but thats is more weight ... btw, sincerely on ur SC kit and looking forward to ur unbiased review...

For those of us doing reviews on GTM's SC, what issues/questions do you guys want addressed?

Driveability quirks if any.

Power potential is clear, but a real unknown is whether there are any hiccups in the tune, both on and off boost.

Just curious, but anyone know if those Sards are 4-hole injectors?

No JB-370z, no one is starting anything. Just commenting and keeping things positive. No need for your comments.

First, thanks for not biting my head off haha. I hope it is enough for his sake. As far as I know he doesn't do much track work and lives in a generally cold climate so he should be OK. I wish we had something like the G's side vents. Rotrex oil cooler? I didnt know there was a cooler involved, interesting.

I am also looking to see how these GTM kits turn out, all bs aside, I hope everyone's kit works well and we can all keep enjoying our Z's. If anything we have benefited as consumers from the rivalry. I'm pretty excited to start ripping around town with mine and I'm sure that so are the folks getting the GTM one. Review will be coming, I'm not sure I will have much negative to say about +150whp, specially since I don't have much to compare it to.

I'm also as you said sincerely interested in the reviews from shumby, z elim and Buddy. I just hope they can manage to review the SC kit independently of Sam and GTM.
