Default Dixon Cider's Roadster Build and Journal

Well, I have been wanting to upgrade this car, and after a few months of drooling over everybody else's modded Z, I decided to send mine over to Sam at GTM. It will be there for a few months, but I will list what we are going to do to the car. Also, I will list the base dyno runs that Sam did as well as some before pictures. Just to note, the dyno numbers are from memory, the only thing is the tenths are not exact. When Sam sends them to me, I will update the actual numbers, as well as pictures that he said he will take and send.

On the agenda for upgrade:

UAM CF Vented Hood Painted to match
GTM Stage 2 Supercharger
Invidia 2.5" CBE
GTM Intercooler w/ Thermal Black Coating
GTM Intercooler Piping Powder Coated Black
OS Giken Twin Plate Clutch/Flywheel
GTM Oil Cooler
GTM Oil Cooler Supplement Kit
Custom made air deflector for the oil cooler
Water/Meth Injection
KW V3 Coilovers (1 inch drop)
Hotchkis Sway Bars
MR Works Headlight Mods (Blue shrouds, iron man)
Blue LED total interior swap (DIY/Third Gear)
Aftermarket "shorty" antenna
Spoiler Solutions Aftermarket Spoiler
Rear Camera Mod (Thx Jeff & bdl99)
20x9.5/11 Mesh Rims (undecided on brand yet)
Powder Coated Calipers (Blue)
SRP Racing Pedals
New rear diffuser (want to get rid of the rear fog when one comes out)
Rockin' the 370z decals (just for you AK)
*GTM GT-R Intake
*Anything else that comes along that I think I might want or anything suggested that looks/sounds cool.

NOTE: *Haven't decided on what I'm doing with these items yet.

Dyno runs from GTM (Base):
HP
280.0 whp
283.x whp
285.x whp
TQ
236.1 rwt
238.x rwt
240.x rwt
When Sam emails me the actual numbers, I will get these corrected and post them up here.

I got to test drive the Yellow Z at GTM on Monday. Man, I can't wait till I get mine back. The car was 380-390 rwhp, but wholly crap. It felt soooo good. Felt just like stock only a lot stronger. It was very drivable during "normal" driving behaviors. Power was available almost instantly when stepping on the accelerator. I will continue to update this post as things start happening.
Thanks for looking!!
