First of all you have no idea who on here is going to buy one of these supercharger kits. The fact is any of us who own a 370Z are potential buyers and companies like Stillen, GTM, AAM, ect who sell products for these cars know that. This is an excellent way for them to not only market their products but to get first hand knowledge on what WE WANT!

Most of us are excited about new products that are coming out and there are lot more options now than there were last summer and well know how expensive power is so naturally we want the biggest bang for our buck. Also many of us on here that are interested in FI are still on the fence between which side we want to be on between Turbocharging or Supercharging. I mean its an endless debate that could go on forever because of the pros and cons of each system.

Lastly the cost of doing a TT setup is NOT vastly more expensive than what we are estimating the cost of a supercharger are. From where my car is now I could easily obtain 500rwhp from a TT kit for 8K. For me the debate will be for 8K do I want a solid 450 to 500 rwhp gain OR for 6K can I settle for 400 to 450 rwhp? (That was a rhetorical question)

How are you going to do either a 6K SC setup or a (mythical) 8K TT setup when you're budget is 5K?

just be realistic, you don't get anything for nothing.................

Werd. People want similar hp numbers as the TT, but for half the price and with stock-like reliability. Pretty unrealistic, IMO.

Who said my budget is $5000? I never said that!!

GTM sells a turn key TT kit for around $8000.00 but you have to install it yourself. I already have over $2500 in modifications that I installed the begining of last summer. I put on a Stillen CB, with matching HFCs so I am good on the exhaust piece to flow up to 500 rwhp. There will be some incidental costs involved in the installation but I will most likely roll with the tune that comes with the kit.

If you have a bone stock car and want it professionally done then YES; it will cost upwards of 13K to 14K.

Yep

NYBladeZ · 02-24-2010, 09:27 PM

with install and a dyno tune its going to run you very close to 10K.

roplusbee · 02-24-2010, 09:32 PM

That is still a pretty good price though.

2fast4thelaw · 02-24-2010, 09:58 PM

10K installed is very reasonable for the quality and performance capability of this kit. For a while AAM was offering thiers for $10500 installed as an introductory. I almost pulled the trigger on it last summer. I think I like the GTM kit better though.

Any way, we are getting off topic on this thread. I am very interested in seeing what Sam will pull on the supercharger. Especially when he starts testing stage 2 and 3. I would love to see it pull 450 rwhp. That is right where I want to be.

fstrnldr · 02-24-2010, 11:40 PM

Now we need to just see the results of the Stage 2 and 3!

You said if the SC isn't under 5K, you won't play...

AND

Thats not a 8K TT Setup, that's a 8K TT Kit that will be added to your already acquired xK set of parts. Hardly the same thing.
