Which doesn't even seem possible with this trans.

I spoke to them over the phone last week.
The lady picked up and she asked them for me and when I asked "What is the mximum torque your maximum best built 370z AT can hold?" she replied
"12 - 14" and I was like uh......1200 to 1400 pounds of torque? She goes yes.
I said and this is for the maximum transmission build you guys do for the 370z automatic transmissions?
She said yes.

Maybe someone else try giving them a call and see what she / they say.
Believe me... I find it really hard to believe too.

I spoke directly to the owner/mechanic that does the builds. I think his name is Tony?? He seemed like a very nice guy and was being very honest. He said you can throw 700wtq at it but it wont last long at that power level. He said if you want it to last as long as the car then 500wtq is the limit when driving it hard.

I would trust this over the secretary.

Okay. I am willing to believe the 700 wtq number, but not the 1200 - 1400 LOL
I was like wtf....when she told me that. I honestly believe she was thinking HP or something or trying to lie to my face about it, no idea but either case...1200 - 1400 seems way too crazy.

You spoke to them right now? -- Or this was over a year ago when Tony said that?

I'll give them a call later today and ask again... and then ask what parts of the transmission make it hold that much TQ if at all, then report back here!

Thanks for your input topz! Makes me want to re-investigate again.

Earlier this week some photos were posted to the rj Facebook page. They showed the kit partially installed. They've since been taken down, I'm guessing not to spoil the unveil. From what I saw I don't believe the height will be quite as dramatic as I initially thought it may be. Stoked to see the results for this thing!

Your right they pulled the images from facebook as they were having some professional shots done yesterday actually. The demo car will be at zdayz. They made another revision to one of the pulley mounts today and some videos will come prior to zdayz.

In conjunction with the supercharger kit RJM will be debuting their new 7AT program and a few other goodies like a triple plate billet torque convertor! definitely going to be a zdayz you want to attend!

I already ordered Top's SC kit, but this kit sounds like it will be amazing. Good luck and looking forward to seeing reviews from people who get this.

How aggressive would the hood be to cover that? Any updates on a front strut bar

That's going to be a hell of a cowl.
