I would hardly call VVEL lame. Once the the ability to control VVEL becomes common knowledge I imagine most tuners would wish all engines had them.

Maybe they wont be able to change the vvel much. I would think that it shouldnt be much harder than rewriting other programs I would think, but I could very well be wrong.

I hate to ferment "conspiracy theory" type ideas but I can't help but wonder...will GTM cap the power and torque of their stage 1 S/C kits to >500whp since it would take away from the more expensive turbo market. I still feel that with a tune, downpipe, full 2.5in exhaust 500whp or damn close to it will be possible.

I highly doubt this is the case. GTM wants to put out a product that will compete with Stillen's SC, and Stillen won't cap the power on their kit due to the TT market.

i think everyone will be happy with the SC kit...We can't really open up our cars on the highway anyway...31 mph above any given speed limit = 30 day suspension....That's the law over here in PA anyway.

I guess I'm a conservative kind of guy. When did 400whp become slow. For me the 370z just needs a bit more grunt. Hopefully I will be able to get the basic kit and rip up some canyons.

400 whp would be great for a DD. It will depend on the TQ too. And also people will have to decide if said amount of money is worth 100 extra whp and whatever the TQ will be. Id love to have that much power for my DD but of course $$$$ will make the call.

Yeah that is true, and I really would not think it be worth more than 6k for me. As I would just get a bike instead at that point, but I know that is not something for every body.

budakai · 02-22-2010, 12:31 PM

Yea 400 is good if I want 500+ I know what to do...When the new model comes out we'll want to get that one anyway...so it really doesn't matter in the end...

Damn, installing the SC kit must be easy...That's a good thing...

NYBladeZ · 02-22-2010, 02:59 PM

you can probably get 350ish at the wheels from bolt ons, I figure if you go FI especially on the new VQ motor you have to be seeing close to 500

350 to the wheels on bolt ons IMO is kinda high. Thats what 70 over stock? And the avg SC will be just above 400, for 500 from a SC you will have to run high boost and that could lessen the life of the engine a good amount. For 500 or more better go TT.

I just posted my 2 cents!

I am not looking for a cheap solution, I am just saying if this kit costs 6000 grand or more and doesent deliver over 100 rwhp, it isnt going to sell.

5K just came to mind becasue when I had my 350Z I could have gotten a supercharger kit for 5K for a bit under 100rwhp gain. I am not trying to be a total dyck on here, I am just being realistic. Its simple economics.
