I talked to AAM long ago about doing it right on my Z. I wanted everything from the Defi setup to every supporting mod I needed for the car to handle the power reliably and drive perfectly. Was looking around $18k parts and labor for a custom TT setup.

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..

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.

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.

Yup that's my plan too.
