GTM SC installs reviewed

We have seen a summary of the stillen kit and wanted to see how GTM is doing but didnt want to take over a thread meant to discuss something else.

Default GTM SC installs reviewed

We have seen a summary of the stillen kit and wanted to see how GTM is doing but didnt want to take over a thread meant to discuss something else.

So who has the GTM kit installed and how is the kit doing?

I really don't want to disrespect anyone or start ****, but everyone who said they had one installed went quiet...

I am very interested in this thread too. In for results.

No noise is better than bad noise... Most people usually drive their cars for a while and don't care to take the time to write a long review... I know the kits are selling cause sam has a lot of cars getting them installed. Unlike the stillen kit no one has been reporting problems...

I have been driving mine for about 2-3 weeks now with zero problems. The car is making good power, and we are still fine tuning a few things with the long tube headers and playing with settings to see what we can do.
Overall the kit has been great, install was a breeze for Baker Tuning, the system sounds great, and no issues. Not really sure what people want me to report on, it just works exactly as it is suppose and as GTM said it would. I decided to throw my own wrench in with the long tube headers as the original design for the GTM kit was not build around them. So we are having fun and working directly with Sam to help give feedback on them so he can provide better support for those who wish to have LTH and his SC kit.

Overall I could not be happier with this kit.

Not currently, but never really planned to with a stage 1 SC setup.

No ****, there's no noise because no one has it lol. Lot of cars no one knows about. I know the Stillen kits are selling because there are actually reviews.

The only people that have it are people who installed it at GTM. If I remember correctly, Z Eliminator/dannygt ordered the first ones? They still don't have it.

Dreamer ever dynoed?

is the tune too rich or too lean? How far off the 8 psi are you with LTHs? And did gthey tune it for the 8 psi or did you go for a lower psi?

yeah, the jury is still out with the GTM kits. I think they were having troubles with their supplier, that's why they made a part for shumby's in house, which is the only why he already has his. I guess we'll hear more installs coming up pretty soon. but to bullit's point, its better to have no news than bad news.

i think the only stillen kits sold right now are the ones from the initial introductory purchases when no one knew about all the issues and when they were bragging about all the testing they were doing. something in the lines of track tested not just in the dyno. hahaha. i was under the impression that they stopped the sale of the kit because of all Stillen's issues. but if they haven't, that is really bad for them to take ppls money for a flawed/incomplete product.

and even if they did have a prob with something atleast they seemed to have waited to sell the kits keeping people from being able todrive thier cars. So a delay is better than having it on and then cant drive it but like was said its still a little early to see yet. Need to have some more kits installed.

I also remember several months ago a member was getting flamed cuz he was downing the Stillen kits from before and was stating what went wrong with them and I think the same thing is happening now with the new kit. So past history seems to matter some. I think all in all both kits will get things figured out and will be good kits.

Mine was installed in Houston at Baker Tuning, not GTM. Is there something wrong with no one having a kit yet?
Do I need to get pictures for you?
We have been on the dyno, and are working with Sam to check everything since this is a unique build that is different.

We are running the 8PSI pulley which was designed for stock headers and cats, the tuning is a back and forth right now to see what can be done with the headers. How far can we tune it with the headers and a stage 1 kit.

Edit: I know everyone is waiting on results for everyone who ordered and on my setup with how it pairs with the long tube headers, but it is a process which takes time and we do not want to push it faster than it needs to be.

If anything, Dreamer is testing the waters for others looking to go GTM SC+LTH's. This is going to be valuble information brother. See what is important here guys is to stay on the same page, with a common goal of making the Z more powerful. Lets not get lost in the politics of company vs company. This should be a friendly game not a childish one. My GTM stage 2 twin turbo kit has been installed for a month and a half yet I have not done a review at all. Which reminds me RCZ I still owe you a review, hahaha. Hope to get that soon I have been just so busy with work and a new baby coming soon. Anywho I think that SC is a great option at this point no matter who you go with. The added power is what it is all about, the Z is a blasty blast once you go boosted.

Im getting very impatient about the long wait.

The Ontario Z drag day is Sept 18 and it does not look like it will be on my car,
