I say definitely do it if your tuner is comfortable with it, and if it is available in your area... and you should make one for 100 octane too...

I'm pretty sure my tuner is running two separate maps in his 370zTT... 91 and 100 octane...

I think it should fit no problem, Wei was running the Stillen kit with GTspec strut bar. Double check with him, I think it's just tight between the strut bar and charge pipe.

it'll fit but rubs against the hood liner and the charge pipe. Not really worth using it if not necessary

Did you notice much difference in stiffness with it? I can handle a little rubbing on the hood liner but I don't really want anything rubbing on the charge pipe.

Just walking up to the car puts me in a good mood.

Not to delve into something I'm not too familiar with here...but I don't think you will benefit much from the strutbar unless you're banging curbs at the track. FWIW and I know its different on the G, but I have about a quarter inch clearance of the strutbar over the charge pipe. As far as rubbing on the hood...nothing a few hits of the ol' rubber mallet can't fix!

You won't benefit much from the fsb. I rather you invest that 200 bucks on a set of sway bar instead, or wheels etc

Thanks for the advice. I was planning on the sways anyway and you just saved me a couple hundred $

MAC was doing pretty much the same thing on the Supra that I posted pics of. I believe that they were doing an E85 tune as well as 91 and racing fuel.
