My question is this? (forgive me if this has already been asked, this thread is huge) What are you going to use for engine Management? A computer flash or an actual engine management module? Next question is, will an engine oil cooler be part of the kit? (I really think this important)

BTW: the piping you have done is really clean! Under the hood my car will look the same as it does now with the G3 intake.

These are exciting times arent they??

Yep. Thier twin screw unit just wont work with the DTBs and they wanted a solution that didnt require an aftermarket hood. Thier unit will base around a Vortech unit that they modify and a water to air intercooler and hand held engine management system. They are definitly taking supercharging a whole new direction for them with the 370Z. All this is in the "Stillen Estimates" thread.

So far I am sold on the Rotrex compressor unit and I am excited to see the results of this GTM supercharger kit.

best bang for your buck is a terribly bold statement considering i can pick up 100hp for 800 dolars so fi this kit gets me 200 hp i will pay no more than 1500 lol

The only way to get 100hp for 800$ is to pass gas.

What you just said is very bold statement! Care to elaborate on that a that 100 hp for $800.00 a little more? We are all listening!!

If your talking Nitrous injection you loose us here as thats a path for only the Young and the Bold! Nitrous is a definite F-That!

I am already about maxed out on what I can get on an N/A 370Z and I was out over 3 grand for bolt-ons. Power AINT cheap!!
