I have heard plenty of good things about AAM in the past. Not so much any more. Their intake manifold pre-sale thread is a debacle. There's no reason you should be asking customers for $2K for a product that you haven't even produced yet. They're basically making the customers test it out

Sounds like those kickstart accounts.

AAM use to be very reliable back on the 350Z platform. I have not had much dealing with them lately, outside of buying their exhaust and test pipes.

Guessing not but shoot them a pm to be sure.

I do know their sales are discounts off msrp not current retail prices.

madwi · 07-06-2016, 08:49 AM

its only a dash cam mic but about 30 seconds in you can sorta hear it lol.

ChaseZ · 07-06-2016, 11:45 AM

Quick pull for baseline

kenchan · 07-06-2016, 12:46 PM

This relaxed way of thinking by kids 'not needing to be an expert at something before going out there in the real world' is just asking for trouble. Like lack of intelligent dialog.. Get stomped on by China.

kenchan · 07-06-2016, 12:48 PM

Den blame China for their own lack of discipline to be someone.

Disappointing day on the dyno. Couldn't get our changes loaded no matter what. Sounds like there is a Map in there somewhere that needs to be tweaked in the 2016 ECU that's different than before. He's hashing it out with Uprev so in the meantime make due with 306whp and play around with launch control and other goodies. Seat in the pants feels a bit better. But I know that's just the changes to throttle response etc.

The *** end walked right out on my in 2nd and hit the rev limiter way quicker than I was expecting. Felt silly, but still smiled lol

Better throttle response, a tad more power and better feeling overall. I'd chalk that up as a win
