True. But aren't they more accurate in the industry as far as what you are putting to the wheel?
Meh, lol

All dynos are bullshít and should only be used to figure out the delta between mods and/or for tuning

With GTM out, what options would be available for VB upgrades for the auto?

Without hardware upgrades, changing line pressure and adding a trans cooler wouldn't be enough for stronger F.I. setups and that'd be a huge limitation for 7AT 370Z's.

AAM says they are working on 7AT upgrade and there is someone else that has one but I don't remember the name.

GTM stage 4 AT upgrade will give you access to 700+rwhp. But it's a $10,000 upgrade.

Didn't GTM just file for bankruptcy? That may no longer be an option.

Any one that sends GTM $10,000 at this point is smoking crack!

Yes they did but I'm sure he will still gladly take the money!

Level 10 performance. Someone told me someone else is working on it too... Someone also told me that it will be in their car within a few weeks... LOL

Wow, didn't hear about that. They are huge Z supporters. Sad to hear.

Yep. GTM is done for the moment. They may restructure, but they're going to be getting sued by several members here.

It's sad for us since we lose a vendor who used to push the platform further than anyone else at the time. Sam can eat a whole bag of dicks though.

I just read that thread. I was out of the forum during that time. My goodness, how terrible...
Some people really disliked them. But they seemed very knowledgeable.
I once had a mechanic tell me the GTM tranny kit is wayyy overpriced and he could give me the same results for $3,500 on my AT. He said GTM is ripping people off on tranny upgrades. He was the main reason why I didn't pull the trigger on the tranny build. I thought it was the mechanic undercutting just to get paid. But it seems like maybe he was right??? I can at least thank him for the confusion.
All these shops always claim to be the omega of something. Sometimes it's hard to tell when they are booschitting.
I thought highly of GTM. Reading all that is scary. Then I found this you tube video, above.:shakes head:

i think they are doing supporting mods and level10 transmissions is where they are getting the whole units from. or something like that.

oooooo do me! do me! whats my % loss :excited: :yum:

i will say for a 7AT with minimal mods and a tune i hit a decent WHP # and 1/4 ET :stirthepot:
