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!

NSM-style carbon fiber rear spoiler for 2009-2010 Nissan 370Z

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...

Goal is power, hook-up, & handling not looks or comfort. Eventually turning my Z into a dedicated track car, that I may sneak-out on the street on Friday & Saturday nights to eat up Mustangs, Camaros, & at least run side by side stock GTR's. If I have to lose a/c so be it. It's a attainable goal because speed is just a question of how much you can afford to spend.

Do a lower compression bottom end, custom turbo kit...IMHO. The Stillen supercharger kit seemed to be a huge let down, unless they fixed it...

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.

You have to pick one or the other.

There's always the NOS option too.

A lot less money to do that, certainly. Easier to remove and install, as well.

I don't know how this car responds to juice too well, though. And your gains will be limited by just how strong the bottom end is as well. I wouldn't spray more than a 100 shot, probably.
