and thats where i decided maybe no FI since i like going fast lol if there was more info and tests on the GTM stg 4 tranny maybe i'd go that route. til then it's wait to get a GT-R unless i just TT my Z lol

my original goal was 550 to 600WHP but at those numbers the TQ gets up there and i'd probably blow my transmission in a week.
