This is the greatest thing to happen since the Model A. Well, maybe not, but damn close. In for updates and look forward to seeing the thing get finished and some dynos done.

Updates should really start coming in after the new year. Sticking with the JWT clutch and flywheel. Should be delivered after christmas. I have my wheels and tires chosen, as well as the coilovers. Saw Motordyne recently released a new set of sway bars. Debating whether I should get those.

Update: 16JAN- GTM still installing new equipment in their facility (new dyno). Haven't started work yet, but should in these next couple of weeks.

I am really interested in the build your doing. I know your deployed right now which is good cause you have plenty of time. Are u just putting the supercharger on any internal mods?

SS_Firehawk

No internal mods. But everything else is built up to handle the heat and stress. My oil cooler is an AE performance 72 row monster, the clutch and flywheel are being upgraded to JWT, the brakes are getting a Z1 upgrade (rotors, pads, lines, fluid), radiator being replaced by CSF, it already has long tube headers, full CBE, and a new M370 (bought it again haha).

If I for some Ungodly reason desire more power, the kit supports up to 800bhp, I'll have to build the motor and most likely upgrade the fuel system further. The nice thing about the twin SC system is the additional overhead and the packaging.

I also spoke to GTM today, should be getting updates really soon. They just installed the Mustang Dyno and had my car on there... It wasn't impressive lol. Initial numbers are showing 270whp. They haven't emailed me the graph yet, and they are still learning the software as well. Running Windows 8 only makes the learning curve more difficult. Oh and for clarification, car is still the same from when I delivered it, no parts were installed when the dyno was done.

270WHP... Brother, come to LA and take my car, lol

Or I can drive to you, take my car for a spin, lol

SS_Firehawk

310 on a dynojet, 270 on a Mustang Dyno. I felt like I got kicked in the junk. Maybe when I get back home on the ride. Still have about 7 months. Then you can take mine for a ride lol. New and improved.

Lol, if they only get 270WHP I will beat them on your behalf, LOL
If I were GTM, I would've lied, lol


7months is a lot of time though! I hope you get your 450-500WHP!

Nixlimited

They just ran mine on the Mustang too. 265 WHP. Heartbreak dyno!

Yeah, contracting job paying the bills. If I get 450whp on that Mustang dyno, I would be overjoyed after the a$$ whipping it just gave my car.

Just kidding... Had some pics in my phone when the manifold was being replaced haha. I do have a pic I linked below of some Z's including my own when we were helping our buddy move.



Don't hate on my crappy camera or crappy camera man skills.

sub'ed for update...

SS_Firehawk

Man, I'm tired of seeing everyone updates and my $hits been with GTM for 2 months. I have two dyno results and a picture to show for it. Things were supposed to start last month, didn't happen. Then this month, and we are already 1/3 of the way through... Nothing. I'm just venting. Wish I can at least see anything, something that shows work's begun. I understand why, I'm just being impatient. I'm trying to restrict my inquiries to bi weekly, but F'n A that's hard. I just want to fast forward, because this is worse than being a virgin at a strip club. I have no ill things to say about the process at all, it is what it is. It's like all the Fast Intentions guys waiting in line for their exhaust to be made. Hopefully I have something awesome to post by next weekend. It's exciting to see everyone else unveil their new toys and show the community new kits being introduced, I guess I want in on the action.

Edit: Yeah, refreshing my email about 100 times a day too. No bull$hit. It's a bad habit.

Hey man, trust me I know how you feel. As you may already know my build took longer than expected as well but what I can tell you is, IT WILL BE WORTH IT! You will also have a BAD *** kit when its all said and done. Much more unique than a new TT setup
