Yes that's because AAM works on GT-Rs and you will pay GT-R prices for that level of service. Feel free to prove me wrong though haha.

(no offense intended of course)

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..

haha send your car there DM

single turbo is always way cheaper, 1 turbo, use of stock manifold, less piping, less lines haha

Truest story ever.

We have a design mocked up to use stock headers for a twin turbo front mount setup. Stock manifolds are pretty but they work and work well.

Everyone argues single vs twin but really if you plan well and do the math a single can get you almost identical spool.

Khoi how is the TT kit coming? Im dying to know how those EFR's spool on our cars. NEED RESULTS BUDDY!!

Like I said, I am most definitely not a mechanic but the PM part of me desperately wants to be involved in the development process.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
