I thought I was done
 
Well I thought I was done with my car when I started looking at these F.I. threads which led to calling people and checking prices and so on and so on.

So now I call Sam @ GTM and talked to him on and off for about 2 weeks and today I called Sam and ordered a Stage 1 Supercharger turn key,25 row auto trans cooler,and a oil cooler relocation kit and he told me I will have it in 2-3 weeks.

This will be the icing on the cake,this kit is going to make my car come to life,I'm going to install this in myself(I have been working on cars for 26yrs)and when I'm done drive over to Z1 and let John check the tune & tune the trans.

I'm really happy I bought this:tup:

Are you going to do a thread showing your install?

HKYStormFront 02-08-2012 08:50 PM

awesome!! :woot: can't wait to see it done!

370ZilverZ 02-08-2012 08:55 PM

:tup:I know mine will never be done, probably not even after I supercharge it some day. I hope you put together an install thread or add in journal. More horses are always good!:tup:

Probably not it's really not any different than others you seen plus I will be doing this on the weekends and after work during the week.

Sam sent me the instructions really some of the best I've seen it really isn't that bad just time consuming.

What made you decide stage 1 over 2?

that actually makes no differences imo! even with the stage 2 you can run a larger pulley to make the same boost levels as the stage 1 yet you still have room to grow with the stage 2. also, you get to keep your windshield washer bottle with the stage 2 whereas the stage 1 you will have to sacrifice it.

nonetheless congrats with the purchase!

well congrats on getting the SC, hope the rest goes well, altho i would suggest you tow the car to Z1 since it's probably not the best idea to drive a car that is untuned unless they are just down the road from you

The turn key kit comes with software from Sam with a Uprev map for the Supercharger, I just want John @ Z1 to check it to tune the trans line pressure.

Mr&Mrs 02-09-2012 06:49 PM

Congrats I fight myself everyday on doing a stage 1, but I too have the 7AT and im not sure I will be happy with the power for the cost. Cant wait to see it done I have always followed you and your cars progress.

That's what I thought too but 400 rwh I don't think you will be complaining to much.:icon17:

Mr&Mrs 02-09-2012 06:56 PM

I road in RCZ's reborn kit in kellys car it felt pretty good I will admit, I just know my need for speed addiction and how long it would last I dont know. That being said I will see how you feel the 7AT responds as well and maybe this could still be in the Z's future =)

There is a guy on this forum with a blue Z w/7at w/456 rwh and he is hard on his car he drag races it and lets his brother race it too he had 8700 miles on it when I met him at Z1 he is having no issues with his trans plus after I put in Sam's tune I'm going to Z1 to let John check it and tune the trans line pressure.
After hearing and seeing his story and talking to John(who tuned his car)400 at the tire I'm not going to lose any sleep about having a 7at behind it.:tup:

ZInferno0248 02-09-2012 09:57 PM

Congrats on the SC... I love mine. 400 WHP is very noticeable over stock, you will not be disappointed.

theDreamer 02-10-2012 09:29 AM

Congrats, you will love it. :tup:

tower74 02-11-2012 10:29 AM

Congrats....Don't worry about the 7AT. It can handle the extra HP...just watch the TQ but yeah at 400RWHP you will notice that you want to drive your car a hell of a lot more.

I don't expect the torque to be over 340lb @ the tire plus I am not that hard on my car,John @ Z1 will rough it up more tuning it on the dyno more than I will driving it.:icon17:

SPOHN 02-11-2012 12:20 PM

Wait till I drive it.

I don't know, I haven't received mine yet,I'm guessing about 12-24 hrs.
judging from the instructions I've seen.
