There is no reason to ever bash GTM. While I dont personally run any of their parts I know for a fact they are top notch.

I personally don't mind the bashing, as long as I'm getting some info than I don't care to be honest.

Although I'm still torn between the kits, if gtm can't get carb approved when I'm ready to buy, I have no other choice but to get the stillen kit it will be less hassle from cops and I don't have to worry about failing smog checks.

Im a GIGANTIC Stillen fan, run plenty of their parts on my Z. If I was to go F.I. though there is no doubt I would go GTM. The Stillen kit from what I have heard isnt very good. Plus from what I have seen the numbers arent very good either. If you want to be disappointed go Stillen. If you want your hard earned money spent wisely, go GTM.

As for you saying you dont mind the bashing, most of us mature adults DO. That is not what the forum is for and especially NOT WHAT THE TECH SECTION IS FOR! Now that the car has gone down in value and the younger crowd can afford it this forum is going to sh1t and becoming my350.com. Sad really, I remember when the tech section was full of polite, informative people. Sam and GTM have been absolutly wonderful to the community and done everything in their power to produce high quality products for our platform. Something MANY companies have failed to step up and deliver on.

Ah, the inevitable discontent of the old guard. As predictable as younger people joining as a car gets cheaper. They improve the forum by complaining how the forum has deteriorated.

The tech section is a place for technical discussion only. Not trolling or childish arguing. And yes it has deteriorated, never did stuff like this happen during the forums early years. Ill leave it at that.

Back on topic....

Sam could just step up and answer the question. That is what a mature business owner would do.

Lots of miss information swirling out there and I wouldn't trust a vendor who posts disparaging remarks towards potential customer on forums any further than I could throw em.

My stock Stillen with 8psi pulley, injectors, fuel pump etc makes 437 WHP on 100 octane gas. It runs like a champ. No belt slip, no rich or lean running, no detonation. One of the cleanest best kits I have ever seen. Others are a bit of a hodgepodge and are not CARB legal and they aren't willing to warranty kit like Stillen. Win to Stillen.

Hoopa Hillclimb 2012 - 370Z - YouTube

Mmmmmm sound so sweeeet

Bottom line if you are not worried about CARB you'd be silly not to go turbo on our cars? A non smog legal SC is a waste of space under the hood.

100% agree with this
well if you truly were a mature adult, you would skip over the bashing and read the informative post, while it is spam and a pain, the reason i dont mind the bashing is because im going to let the kids be kids, sooner or later they will learn, plus the people who are being adults are providing good information about both kits which is what im looking for

i completely agree, if carb isnt a problem then it would be stupid to not go with a turbo set up

thanks for the info as well, its always good to hear of an owners review about the kit as apposed to someone who hasnt owned the kit
