It's not, but apparently it's a high quality replica.

No they aren't all the same, check out the reviews. Some flail/vibrate violently at 80mph+, others crack, some don't even Line-Up evenly. Plastic vs fiberglass, so many choices.

Stay far, far, far away from Duraflex. You will be very disappointed in it honestly, fits like crap and very cheaply made.

Used OEM, Seibon, I think Carbon Signal may have a few good ones also. We run the Aero Jacket Spoiler on Forsbergs car and it fits real well ( And looks cool! )

I do have a Seibon NSM wing sitting here at the shop I would be willing to cut a great deal on if you like that style!

Thanks. I'd like to stop by MA Motorsports after the holiday and check the spoiler & shop out. I'm looking for a shop that can lay a work plan for my Z. My ultimate goal is to purchase & have installed a Stillen Super Charger, but first I want to build up/make stronger the engine to the best performance prior to getting Stillen installed.

Depending on what you want to do beforehand, adding the supercharger may throw everything off.

That's why I want to work with a reputable shop who knows the goals I have planned. Let's face it a engine build is at least twice as expensive as just the super Charger depending on how much you want to spend. Putting a super Charger on a 90,000 mile + engine, when your the 2nd owner, could be disastrous! I want to build my Z smarter, by ensuring its foundation is solid.

If you're talking about changing the bottom end out...you should do that when you get the supercharger done. Can get some big power that way...

Yeah, but building an engine for boost and building an engine for power N/A are two diametrically opposite tasks.


You will probably want to drop your CR by 20% to boost it right - which means it'll be a slug without boost.

[MAMotorsports]

Actually, these days dropping compression when adding boost do not always go hand in hand. Technology has come a long ways in the past few years and the boosted engines are really seeing the most of it. Without spending way to much time rambling, we are not dropping compression on the VQ37s unless the customer will be running 25+psi of boost at all times.

There is also a Flex fuel kit we are using now so that makes it even easier, as E85 and High Compression go hand in hand. So do a "low" boost tune on pump gas, and a high boost tune on E85 and you have one awesome street car. Most of the Fast Intentions cars we are doing retain 11:1 Compression ratio's right now.



As for KoolKarmaJoe, would love to work with you on your goals! Have fun out in LA, and shoot me a call after the Holidays and we can set up a time for you to stop by and I will be more than happy to show you around!

ouch.

[KoolKarmaJoe]

I don't want my engine to end up like those pics. That's why I want to make sure the lower end built strong.

Can easily do that even with a built bottom end, too.

I'm sure MAM can hook you up with a solid build and tune to go with it.
