So what are we shooting for friday?? More pics and numbers?? Or tuning??
This is going to awsome to see this thing on the dyno. Something tells me we are going to see good numbers with an sc application on the new 370.

Pretty sure that is cast aluminum, probably designed in a CAD program and sent out to a die cast shop. Having said that it would have still taken a lot of measurements and skill to do right.

very impressive I can't wait to see the results. It looks pretty, but what are the numbers!

Yes the intake was very challenging to make. Even that is an understatement. Given the limited space we have between the supercharger and the motor mount, we had to completely redesign the compressor housing of the supercharger so we could have adequate space to fit the proper supercharger inlet . Our senior fabricator and designer did an outstanding job of really maximizing the limited space we had to work with. Again we designed our kit to work around the car and not the other way around .


As for Friday, we are hoping for the complete press release of the GTM 370Z supercharger kit .

So being that you have had to assemble and pull apart many times, I imagine it gets easier once this is up to your production specs....SAM what are you anticipating a normal installation will take you guys time wise?
