I agree, outliers notwithstanding, flex plate, torque converter, valve body, clutch plates, transmission cooler. It's my understanding (and maybe it's just favorable marketing) that the upgraded...

Actually I know Eric. Met him at Nismo Fiesta a few years back. Very nice guy and his car is indeed a 7AT. I don't know how in the hell that transmission is holding up being completely stock...

Do you have any more information on that particular car other than a shot of a dyno plot? JMS is my backyard and I've been on their dyno. How do you know this car is a 7AT? They come with 6-speed...

I've been watching the dyno numbers for the new 3.0TT Q50/60's which use the same transmission as the Z/G37 and many are making relatively big torque numbers very low in the rev range where the stock...

You can get the Nismo pads fairly inexpensively if you search. Other than the outright stopping power, the best thing about them is how linear they are. Just super controllable and it's easy to...

Motordyne has a new header which, if it produces gains over the stock headers, looks to be a very slick setup. The headers are "modular" and you can easily swap in either test pipes, cats, or their...

I have my my throttle tweaked via EcuTek and it's a 7AT. No need for the sprint booster. You can also get the extra bluetooth dongle and run the EcuTek app (assuming you have iPhone) and adjust the...

The Koni's have a shorter shaft than OEM correct? Aren't they designed to work with lowering springs? The Swifts might keep the OEM shocks out of their optimal range and they'll wear out more...

The Nismo pads are a nice improvement over OEM but I also installed them along with new rotors, braided lines, fluid and the master cylinder brace.

Less initial bite, especially when cold but...

Does the crash bar go back in or no? Seems like you'd loose some front end rigidity not running one.

Bigger axles won't make the 7AT last any longer or solve the 7AT/torque issue unfortunately. A lot of Q60RS guys who've tuned their cars are seeing big torque gains down low. I'm not sure how long...

The Jatco 7AT revision A is rated at 295ft lbs. and plenty of folks have had issues with that tranny and a centrifugal SC. I'd think the whipple's low end torque would kill it in short order.

Did you do the fab work yourself? Welding up intercooler and such? Does CJM plan on offering more than just the TT manifolds or is this strictly a one off?

Where in Texas? If you're in San Antonio I could lend a helping hand wrenching and/or taking photos. You said humid so I'm guessing Houston or surrounding area :)
