This is the first dude that has actually come in with a realstic budget. Not one of the ones that thinks I'll spend $7k on my kit and that's it.

I don't think he is going to be able to afford the FI do to the price. Awesome kit though from I hear..

The 7AT is only rated for 300 torque and the only upgraded one I've seen is GTM and it's $6K+ so cross that line at your own risk. I hope someone else makes one if mine ever goes.

We are working on a "solid/sound/reliable" upgrade for the 7AT. How else do you think we are going to go deep in to the 10's!

Thanks, Tony

We looked at it like this...

1) TT kit (6MT)
Great single disk clutch/flywheel in SpecialtyZ. Currently in talks to create a Twin Disc for big boy power.

2). Design a fuel system upgrade to support the boost/power.
Multiple fuel systems for different levels will be in full production shortly and available.

3). A 7AT upgrade that can put to the ground with what we are throwing at it.
We have enlisted the best in the business that we know and trust. Clutch packs/billet Flex Plate/Possibly Converter & Valve Body on the way.

All in all, we realized that we need to offer the total package of supporting mods to go along with our kit. Otherwise, what is the use of having a kit that nothing else around it can handle!

100% agree do it once right so you dont have to do it again.

I like the way you think! I love your kit but knew a 7AT couldn't take it, glad to see your fixing that!

Big-tire z34...I want to see

OP: Sounds like you have the right mindset. Far too many start down the path with unrealistic expectations of what's involved.

Best of luck in your build. Keep us updated!

There's really not a lot to say on the motor side that hasn't been posted here already. If I only had one leg or some other medical condition that limited me to an automatic transmission, I'd give F.I. a call and ask what they've done as far as beefing up the bitchbox. They're finishing up a boosted 7at if I remember correctly.

lets see who takes the bait

Ninjahero · 04-03-2014, 04:54 PM

whats the current wait time for the fi tt i'll probably pull a couple extra shifts per week and get the money
