With all due respect, you post up a title like "GTM Performance Engineering VQ45VHR-Our Journey to The 1000 HP and Beyond"... Provide est HP#'s to Mags, and display the vehicle at shows with massive HP claims and innovative designs that are not functional--You are asking for trouble if you can't back up the #'s.. Just a fact of life on forums.

FYI- a few of the shops on my350Z have already broken the 1000whp mark, with stock displacement.... so you shouldn't expect the same "acceptance" of claimed HP #'s, that you see on this forum.. Some very informative posts on that site, much more so than here.

From the outside looking in--Not much variety here when it comes to shop builds.. I see mostly GTM posts.. its almost as if no other options even exist...
When the shops who have already eclipsed the 4digit HP mark with the z33 (GTM is not one of them), start to make a presence here.. Then you will start to get an honest picture of which shops are capable, and which are not..
--Seeing a 350z run low 9's with stock displacement, ST setup and stock rear end is an indicator of what a shop is capable of... especially after repeated abuse at the track...

Not trying to be the antagonist.. Just been around the Z & import scene long enough to know that shops like to make claims in order to sell products.. While others, break barriers to display there ability...
Your build is very impressive.. But you should have used more "tact" when chest pumping for GTM..

*no malice intended..*
All i can do after reading this post

Dude do you even own a car? I doubt that

I dont care about what you said in your post but I just wanted to point one thing and it's about 350z 1k HP and we still didnt make that number yet

let me ask you my friend, how old is 350Z? lets see.. made in 2003 and now we are in 2011 (but we just get in 2011 so lets say we are in 2010)

350Z is 7 years old so opening the engine and rebuilding it is a piece of cake now.. in fact, they don't have the VVEL that we have.

While 370z is only 1 year old and look at the power we can get with "STOCK" engine.. 550HP and above.. Maybe 550HP is not enough for people who don't own a car like you

FYI my friend, 350Z needs ALOOOT of work to get to 500HP while 370Z just need a turbo kit, supporting mods and thats it, Oh and we still didnt even crack the VVEL (that's if you know what is that)

After GTM cracks the VVEL you will see 600HP 370Z with STOCK engine..

I say you should and go waste your time studying for you exams rather than b!tching here and there

just my 2cent.

It's a real shame about my350z, I read the whole thread and had to shake my head at the end. Experience and tenure on a forum =/= self righteousness.

Yea, my350 did get crazy. I couldn't believe the drama over the years there. There's some here from time to time. But no where near even close to my350. I believe there was alot more younger guys there. People need to lighten up. Even myself sometimes. Learn to forgive.

One thing I did like there was I felt the vendors and shops got more envoled with questions asked.

I felt like joining and quoting all the insults and name calling used by the members in my350 thread before quoting the mod's post regarding banning Bullitt for his one use of douchebaggery. Pretty cool that was allowed with no repercussions while multiple users calling that out get banned immediately.

I have his 4.2 stroker going into my 2003 z with JWT 850 TTBB. It's with a speed force belt 5 AT. ( i bought Eagletons turbo and fuel set up). he made 700 rwhp @20 lbs on a 3.5.
I hoping for 750 @ 23 lbs and mabe 825 to 840 @28 to 30 lbs. That's all the turbos will make.
That a ton of power. I just spoke to him today about his race logic Traction control for my 350 z. For the big rwhp i have a built turbo 400 tranny.\
It should go 9's easy. With Sam's help tunning the motor.
We talk every week and he is always a total profesional buisness man and a great friend.
Hope fully he will have my stage 2 GTM SC and the VVEL ready for my 370Z soon.
It will be an 11 second 370z at the track.

Good luck man! I hope you see some crazy #'s.

Edit: didn't want to take it OT in this thread...

So i guess you are the same idiot that started the whole drama on my350z when you told every one that we are claiming that we are going for a 2000 RWHP

And now you are here trying to start more **** by making more false statement .

His best 1/4 times hovered around the 11.9/120mph range on drag radials with a little over 400whp on our DD.

The engine consisted of a Forged Performance S1 shortblock, with Eagle rods, and FP Spec Arias ED pistons. The head included our S1 street port, and 5 angle valve job, topped with JWT S7 Rev-Up Camshafts.

I couldn't find what they were talking about. Your doing good for us sam and i know why you are frustrated, people saying **** that wasn't said, or saying you did this or that knowing you didn't. Just move on man. Build your car and they will all slip away because you wont even get props when this breakes a G because all they are going to say is ohh wow you finnally got one or there was a midget underneath the ramp running on the dyno with the car at WOT.

Nothing against midgets they are really just the imature over there.

Believe it or not it comes with territory, there's going to be people that think the world of you and others that will hate you, but there is no reason to just start making things up like this troll aka Reality. If you don't like this project that is fine, go buy a 370z and do your own project bigger and better . there is no reason for the cheap shots .

Idiot?
GTM Performance Engineering VQ45VHR-Our Journey to The 1000 HP and Beyond
^ That was a exert from the article.. --Not to worry, I wouldn't expect an apology.

Very professional reply.. I must say I expected a mature reply, if any.. But I guess its not surprising, after years of reading some of your incoherent posts..(My350z)...

And yes, I was in error when I mentioned eagletangreen's motor, hence the edit. My mistake.. --I am man enough to admit to a mistake...Unlike some..

Your verbal outlash reminds me of kids in a playground.. You know where the one child is telling TALL tales, and when confronted by others--he resorts to name calling...
Time to grow up Sam..
-You put your customer in this position to be centered out. Perhaps posting up threads of GTM grandeur and using paying customers to promote vapor-ware, wasn't such a great idea?
Let alone using these same claims to bring in new less knowledgeable customers?.. is that your business model--smoke & mirrors?
If you can't handle criticism, then why put your face on the line?

I have been a z owner long before you were in the business so please don't think you can try and intimidate me.. I am on this board, and have a right to post.... Not sure why you would care.. I could care less about you..

You have yet to build a 1000whp z... Yes?
^Perhaps you are ashamed that you can tout to be the best, but cannot build the best?

So now I will ignore you.. It's what grown-ups do when we want to avoid trash... Perhaps when you grow up, you will learn this lesson..
BYE SAM! I hope you make a solid setup for this guy.. He deserves nothing less for the amount of $ he must have invested..

For what it's worth, I trust Sam's work and know the length he goes for quality control. The 420ztt he built for me is still being abused to this day, with no issues. (My buddy bought it from me and I still drive it from time to time).
