I can lol, but I don't to destroy my 7at and I gotta get this ******* Underdrive pulley off asap man got me paranoid .

But I will most likely pull this trigger. IF I want to go at a lower PSI do i need to use a different pulley or can they do that with the uprev/ecu?

For instance if i only want to make 400 WHP initially until I build up my Transmission.

Thanks for the very complete press release. That stroked g37 should be something special, when do you plan to have that completed?

It will be interesting for sure, Will see how close we can get to 600 WHP, it is very critical in an SC setup to hit the mark the first time unlike a turbo where we have the luxury of making things up with just adding boost, Supercharger builds are completely different animals. As for time frame, it will be sometimes next year.

Sam,

Hoping you would be able to answer my question. If I get the stage 2 SC and I dont want to apply all that HP all at once and say only want to run 400 - 420 whp. Would the tuner be able to attain that or would we have to switch pulleys?

Also, I didn't see a valvebody upgrade for the 7AT, is there a timeframe on that?

What a press release Sam. You guys/ gals at GTM are truely inntovators. Especially with our cars. I like how you guys think ahead such as us guys who already have your oil coolers. Super A+ bro. Repped. Under drive pullies FTL. They really never served much purpose in my eyes anyways. I know you didn't state that but I am.

Does the manifolds have to be removed to install the new engine mounts or removed for any pupose to do the install?

Thank you, For just installing our mounts without the SC you don't have to remove the Exhaust manifold.

Questions for Sam: (1) what is the expected life-span of the factory cats with any of these kits? (2) I noticed in the pics of the new radiator that they don't match. They appear to either be two different prototypes or two different versions. Can you explain please?

In any car when you are sitting at idle no matter where is the air filter located, The AIT will rise sense the MAF tubes are are also in the engine compartment, our testing shows no real disadvantage of having the filter there, also the keep in mind that the factory manifolds s are very well insulated. all the AIT sensor we placed at the IC inlet ,IC outlet and At the MAF sensors showed identical reading just like the stage one kit where is the filter is located in the Bumper of the car.

I have seen and experienced factory cats lasting over 70k, of course there is many variables that will effect that. As for the radiator, We will offer 4 version:

-One that will be only bigger radiator that will expect the factory fans and another One that will have internal heat exchanger built in that can be used for engine oil or trans oil cooling

-The other two models will have the Spal HD 2400 CFM fans that can plug to a fan controller so you can control when the fans will come on and off, Of course with and without the heat exchanger option .

You guys have done a great job at everything you guys do. What I like is the attention to detail and how you guys do not rush to put out a product.

I do have a few more questions about the radiator setup. I am sorry for asking the questions if they have already been answered.

What kind of results have you guys gotten with the new radiator setup? Will you guys be making a new thread to present the radiator as a new option to oil cooling? Also what kind of pricing should we expect?

but it is highly recommended, as with all FI kits there are always options to upgrade with that will extend the performance and life of your setup.

Yeah, if all you cared about was WHP. Most people spending this kinda money have a few more metrics than WHP. The 370Z is obviously not the platform to go with if that's your only consideration.
