You must love your car that much more , OP. Nicely done Sam! Thanks for posting the videos. How long did the install and tuning take?

Sam, I spoke with you a few days ago. I have 93-octane available for me, but I'm looking for a conservative safe tune with my current mods (test pipes, fast intentions catback), I'm looking to go with the stage 2 kit. Should I run your 91-octane tune to be safe, what kind of air/fuel ratios do you look for when tuning?
Thanks

Just curious why would aftermarket HFC's not last long when going FI? I have a set of Fast Intention HFC's, and I would sure hate to get rid of them because of boost.

So if they melt, that would just turn them into test pipes right? ![]()

The issue you might run into with that though is the melt and then clog the pipe up and watch your engine blow.

Nice review and great looking G! The SC setup looks very clean like it came with the car! I love it! Looking to SC my Z but it calls for mucho dinero lol! So tempted to do a loan just for one. So tempting!

Best is to use test pipes or LTH's to prevent any type of restriction or possible catalyst melt down. However, is it worth the loss of SC kit potential in terms of power and possibly boost levels?
I'm waiting to see what GTM can accomplish with the VVEL test tuning before I install my LTH's or just say frig it and install them anyways and live with lower power levels because of the VVEL timing and lower back-pressure. Today I'm leaning towards frig it and install the LTH's anyways and live with what will be, will be in regards to the power levels on the stage 2 kit. ........ if it ever gets delivered .... lol Good thing I'm patient

Me To, "im very patient waiting for my stage 2." I have the stillen header's and the Berk Cat's with the stillen exhaust on my car now. Hopefully the VVEL controler will give a slight increase or not loose power with these mod's.
Time will tell. 2011 should be a very interesting year for the 370Z/ Everybody should keep in mind that we should see what the cost per / rwhp will be with this device for the VVEL. You now factor in the cost of a fully built 7 AT with traction control with the cost of the SC. + the bolts ons = aprox $16630.00 + installion cost's =toal cost of my car. $68,844.35 CDN for my car (including tax). $ 70,000.00 with the 4.08 gears. For that money i expect to have a 460 rwhp fire breathing monster of a Z. That should run an 11.7, 1/4 mile. and give a GTR a good run for its money. I would like to see RCZ put the VVEL controller on his car to see how much more RWHP he would make. His car put's down lots of rwhp now. It should make a lot more. I would also like to try it on my N/A set up to see how much more power it makes from 7000 to 8100 rpm. before i put the SC on. Z
