plus, i think any serious manufacturer is going to base pricing on what the customers are willing to pay - not what their cost was to make the product... question is, how much more or less we are willing to pay vs FI kits they think they will compete with hate to say it, but I suspect this kit will be just south of $10K installed... I'll be pleasantly surprised if Stillen beats that |

When I twin turbod my 06 gto, it was around $10.5k after install, so I'd like to think a single SC would be much less than that. The only reason I mention the GTO is because it's an even lower production car than the Z.

you know selling for less can net you more as more will be sold. I really think that these companies on forums would make more money if they sold their products for less as they would sell more thhus making more. Sometimes less is more. I for one know that I dont buy as many things as I would like cuz of the prices. I feel with people saying they are willing to pay said amount on these forums that it actually influences the price. I mean if I make something and I see that people will pay 10x then what I was going to charge I would go with what they are saying. I am probably out of the SC game as I wont pay 8K plus install for one, now if I had millions then yes. Guess im down to the HFCs now and I think those are priced to high too. Just my 2 cents and rant. Those that pay Im sure will be pleased. enjoy.

not when the number of potential buyers is so low
10,000 installed is about right i'm talking kit price for those of us who can do it ourselves Overhead is usually calculated out of machine rate you think they pay me 200 an hour?my guess for the closest wins game is 7500 for intercooler kit price |

Well 60 lbs ahead of the front axle isn't anything to sneeze at. I'm sure you will notice a difference if you track your car.
If you're really worried about upsetting the balance that much you could compensate by relocating the battery to the rear of the car (someone here has done that). But I think for most of us who aren't competitively tracking, the extra 60lbs up front will not make enough of a difference to go through the trouble of moving things around to get back in balance.

agree, if your car is just for the street, you are very unlikely to be held back by the weight in either acceleration or cornering/handling... and it can be remedied by shifting weight as described above. check out the weight loss (for your car!) thread for ideas, if you haven't already.

Kyle: I know you probably have a ton of questions to answer but if you get the time I'm really curious about the following... I was on the GTM S/C thread and these people brought up what looked like some good points to me... I don't know much on here but they seem valid:
