Also, what’s the fuel pressure set to?

FP is set to 45psi.

The injectors were at 60% DC.

Thanks for chiming in I know a lot of members here appreciate this information. My mod list will be a little bit more extensive than what you currently have so I am curious if that will play a role in the numbers with this new kit.

Yes, any additional mods is going to give you gains.

Here is my car on the track at Brainerd International Raceway. Looking to take 1st in unlimited class. ;)

I see an ACR Viper, Corvette, and GT-R in the lineup :eek:

Just for clarification, he runs with A2A SC and win the track?

Sorry for the confusion! That win was when I was N/A. I was lined up with the unlimited class to make up a run since someone crashed in front of me. I will be tracking with the SC kit once spring is around.

Do you have a return fuel system? Some one should totally correct me if I'm wrong here but I THINK how it works is without one the tuner adds more fuel to compensate since fuel pressure isn't rising with boost.

Is your block built? Or stock block and you'll track it like that?

Ill need to answer this for him. He just left for a 15 day trip to propose to his gf. He has a 100% stock block.

Any rough estimations on when the intake will be able to be separately purchasable? I have to take out the supercharger as I discovered I have an AC line bracket that is rubbing against the bottom of the supercharger and making noise (which I suspect MIGHT be related to my knock sensor false positive issues, I hope...), figured it would be best to wait on the intake before going through all that effort twice.

^^This one is big for me, at least in the aspect of keeping some sort of bar. Even though I live in FL where they leave you be as long as nothing is falling off (and even then, usually still do ;)), I wouldn’t want to reduce protection to all the expensive components on the front of the car.

Any rough ideas for getting this kit on a G37? It pretty much checks all my boxes, and I LOVE the true-dual intake.

This is the slowest part of getting the kits rolling out. This is cast aluminum. We are working on the best way to MFG this in volume. In the mean time we are creating these like we did before, but it is difficult. I plan to have a few of them ready late January, with a fleet in February.

The tube bender showed up today! So we will begin production on the front bash bar for these kits.

Is your G a Coupe or Sedan? It will fit a Coupe. The sedan is sitting in my garage for fitment and adjustments once kits for the Z roll out.

I wouldn't put too much concern into the crash bar.

If you modify the stock aluminum one, you'll likely have extensive collateral damage in a minor impact, possibly the IC and condenser colliding and damaging each other. A modified aluminum crash bar will be much weaker.

If you have a custom-made tube bar setup, some impact energy may go directly into the bumper mounts and frame rails causing even worse, more expensive damage in certain situations, and likely the clearance between a custom bar and the intercooler may mean that you may still end up with IC and condenser damage along with possible frame damage if the tubes transmit too much crash energy into the frame. There's a reason the stock bar is aluminum, it's nice and squishy, relatively speaking.

There's a decent amount of squish area behind our plastic/aluminum front end, stuffing a fat intercooler into that area is going to bring trade-offs one way or the other.

I think the tube crash bar will be fine for very low speed impacts.

It's a Sport coupe, and that's all I needed to know. Thanks!

That's all good info to mull over. Your last line about low speed impact is the scenario I was imagining, where a bump that would normally cause superficial damage results in a crunched condenser or whatever.
