The motor is pulled and we mocked up the manifold and turbos, right now our engineer is drawing up the fmic and i/c pipes

I'd like for us to be able to test fit everything on our 370z here, do the power testing and what not, but end up "sponsoring" a local customer with the full kit if they plan on doing shows and what not (DM i know we kind of went over this a bit already with you) since our 370z here is bone stock lol

I think that's pretty close actually, when you are talking bone stock z to a complete TT kit, installed, tuned (we're talking gauges, exhaust, complete fuel system etc) Installation of a lot of the parts take a good chunk of time..

our hourly book rate is higher than your average mom and pop shop due to this huge facility, so a lot of times labor at AAM is going to cost a bit more, but when you actually book out a complete TT install, we're looking at over 30+ hours..

Yeah it wasn't bad at all considering what all was being done. And at that point I had seen what you guys did with Lou's Z and was impressed.

But I decided it wasn't worth it for this car. I'd just eventually buy something a little higher up on the totem pole.

Yeah, I'm sure there are a lot that pay that amount and end up :facepalm: 'ing after they realize how much they just spent lol

I wish I was a wizard. Seriously my friend Pat that you met...he has tought me everything I know and is literaly 70% the mastermind behing everything im doing. Luckily we have a pretty good business agreement.

For real though if I did a build Identical to mine(keep in mind I had some luck with cheap parts) It would be maybe 3000-3500 in parts and 1000-1500 in labor. But im also doing alot of pointless crap like prepping for e85 usage so there is a little extra money going into that... ie $900 injectors haha

I would like to finish my build and perfect it before I get anyone else involved.

And lets face it, if you want to do a proper TT setup on the Z, you NEED gauges, clutch upgrade, FI optimized exhaust, etc.

The stock suspension could use some work too.

If I was really in love with the Z and had the cash to blow it would probably be worth it, but when you start to think about it you can just get into a (no offense) better car and get that performance straight from the factory for around the same total cost. To each his own, though.

I agree 100%

new thread!

needs more ghey

Thats awesome Khoi, Im really looking forward to the finished build. If AAM does sponosor a local Z my god someone from here take them up on that. It will be a supreme build.

Honestly a good TT build can cost 15k plus. AAM can charge a premium just because they are AAM. They do good work and fabrication and are known for it. Good reputation costs money. Peace of mind in a shop isnt cheap. :tup:

I am doing alot of the supporting mods to make sure my build IS reliable to track once in a while and daily drive some times. I am not a baller so I dont have cash to just blow on a broken car constantly also I love my 370 and dont want to damage it so reliablity is TOP priority for me.

Yup that's my plan too.

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah I am pretty excited to move forward with the kit!

That's what I'm here for.
