GTM Stage 2 Supercharger Preliminary Testing Results

Jamaica · 05-22-2011, 01:22 PM

Who said I was speaking for other people ? Can't read? I said correct me if I'm wrong should be around 550. I'm not speaking for Sam. Did I say Sam said this ? Uhmm no. So stop saying I'm speaking for other people. Wayne and I and Sam had a good two hour talk about the stage two and etc.

Reason for asking HIM is that he obviously has a LOT of experience with these engines and wouldn't be taking a "correct me if I'm wrong" guess. The idea is to not have any work done to the bottom end at all, not "major", not "minor" (whatever that is).

I don't know if the idea behind showing a 11psi pull is to show what his SC is capable of doing that or what. So that's the reason behind my question. As of right now I know few people who think 10+ psi on this engine is safe..in fact I've seen / heard of a 3 or 4 370z motors grenading in the past month, some FI and some not. I share the opinion that we're going to start seeing more than a few FI motors pop over the next 6 months and because of that, I am trying to be as careful as I can with my motor.

How many of you guys that are going with the GTM Stage 2 kit are planning on running 11 psi?

We shall see.

It is 550, i know its on a dynojet but still 525 is pretty close to the limit. I'm almost thinking of putting in new pistons/rods and running at a lower compression if needed.

A Z06 may get you on the top end, but if done right it will get f*cked. I'm not buying this kit for street racing, but for more of just enjoying/feeling the power of over 500whp

I have a 1/8th mile track n my town. But, I like to compare speed to cost.

Ok, but are you going to actually take it to the track?

dixon cider · 05-22-2011, 12:08 PM

No way I'm running 11 psi.

RCZ · 05-22-2011, 12:12 PM

Thanks dixon, what are your plans then? Also, if you get a chance, vote on the other thread I just made in the FI section.

8psi. Maybe 10. I say 10 because I'm not tracking the car and am older (mature enough) to know that I can't run it balls out all of the time. Just because I can doesn't mean I will, if you know what I mean.

Z eliminator · 05-22-2011, 05:40 PM

8 to 10 lbs is good for me 425 to 450 is more than enough.

RCZ · 05-22-2011, 05:51 PM

So essentially we agree 11psi is not safe? Thats what I was thinking too. I was excited when someone told me GTM hit 520whp because I thought they figured out the VVEL and came out with something for us, but then I saw 11psi and well duh..

Still impressive numbers nonetheless, specially considering SC loss...that car probably makes closer to 560whp...

I don't agree with your statement , it is not that cut and dry. I'm preparing a long winded answer, although i don't think you are going to like it.

Sam

Hope your answer includes a response to the rumor that you guys have cracked VVEL. I understand the competitive reasons to keep this close to your chest, but people may be getting too excited about something that doesn't exist - and may never, at least in a form resembling our fantasies.
Personally I have plans with the car but not sure what direction to take because of all these formless "possibilies"

All this stuff is making my F/I desicion difficult. Hopefully, I can get Sam and Mike (Zerolift) to get together to meet my needs...............now for the pocket damage
