Most people get used to that power level pretty fast. I have/had 3 vehicles over 500hp now at the wheels. What is scary is when people do power, but not tires, suspension, and brakes.

Question - is GTM going to ship their kit at first? I thought it would only be available for in house install initially?

we shall see.......... i am still waiting for the dyno results and PRICE

even if it were designed to "only be available for in house install initially," i am pretty sure if there are many interested buyers, they could/will work something out....

so............come on ppl.................show more interest........ so that we all could be happier with more power........

You know what I'm getting at, though... there are people who can barely handle their 332 hp and are already looking for 400+ whp. That's a scary thought.

I am in. I want a supercharger from either Stillen or GTM, at teh moment I am leaning towards GTM. I want a self install kit that I can do in my garage. I am thinking by this summer would be a good time for me.

BC, where in VA are you? There's a really good, clean, multi-bay shop in VA that I've worked with for several years, not a single complaint against them that I'm aware of, and they will probably be my tuners for the Z (once I get around to installing the TT).

EDIT: I just remembered.. that first pic was taken while the S was sitting on their dyno in an enclosed, exhausted room.

very HARD to see when my eyes can go lower than the main bodies. HARD bodies I might add. So who cares about the front lip with that pic. lol

Thanks to some of the threads, I now have to put myself on this list of ppl interested a group buy for these things....

1. I wouldn't build it for another 6 months, but if I can get a deal I'll buy it tomorrow
(don't have the car yet).
2. Depends on cost, I would want a complete kit though, with some flexibility to fine tune according to my personal preferences.
3. Tuner, (assuming you mean who makes the kit, not who installs it) depending who comes out with the best kit, it's hard to say when they are still working on it.

(I would be looking for a good company to install it through, although depending on the build I could and might do it myself. I would be looking for a reputable company in Southern Mass. But I'll look into that once we hit that point, don't want to highjack the thread)

Just made up my mind. I'm in for the SC kit as long as it is in the 5-6k area.

since the pre-order price for GTM is very competitive, there is no valid point in organizing a group buy for GTM SC kit at this point.............also most likely for Stillen as well.......

per SAM at GTM, he will work out a group discount for TT kit..........so just hang tight......

i will update as needed and whenever i get a new info......
